The Florists^ Review 



Jandaet 9, 1913. 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Maxket. 



Again the weather is as warm as 

 April. We have had a few hours of 

 bluster and snow, but nothing to call 

 winter. Business has been dull ever 

 since the holiday. There have been 

 few funerals and, aside from out-of- 

 town trade and a few weddings, there 

 has been little to do. Boses and carna- 

 tions continue to come in heavily. 

 Prices have fallen materially. Betiyil 

 stores have been advertising special 

 sales of Killarneys as low as 65 cents 

 per dozen. Violets continue to be well 

 cleaned up at good prices and valley 

 is not hard to move. Poinsettias were 

 pretty well cleaned up for Christmas, 

 as were all the good cyclamens. Aza- 

 leas are in good supply, but there is 

 little surplus. A few good rhododen- 

 drons are on the market and seem to 

 be selling fairly well. Perns, espe- 

 cially the table varieties, are moving 

 unusually well for this season of the 

 year. 



Various Notes. 



Balph M. Ward, of New York, was 

 in the city this week, looking after 

 bulb business for the fall of 1913. 



The Joy Floral Co. advertised a spe- 

 cial sale of roses at 75 cents per dozen 

 to married men only, provided they 

 would send them to their wives. They 

 cleaned up all of their surplus roses, 

 and feel that it was a good piece of 

 advertising as well. When the special 

 sale was over, they went back to the 

 old prices without trouble. 



McKay, Beece & Co. are planning to 

 do a good business in cannas, dahlias 

 and other bulbs this year. Last season 

 was the first time this line of goods 

 was handled and the experiment proved 

 so satisfactory that a mi^i^larger line 

 will be provided this season. 



Geny Bros, report having done a 

 fair' business last week. They report 

 their out-of-town business as rather 

 better than the local business just at 

 present. Their carnations, especially 

 Beacons, continue to be exceptionally 

 fine. They are cutting a large supply 

 of roses in all of the standard sorts. 

 Their Aaron Wards seem to be coming 

 better all the time, and are proving 

 one of the most prolific roses they grow. 

 They are always in demand, especially 

 for corsage bouquets. 



The Hillcrest School Farm has just 

 set quite a block of irises in a good 

 assortment of the newer varieties. It 

 is said at the farm, there is no plant in 

 better demand in this vicinity than 

 the better varieties of iris. The school 

 has a large assortment of narcissi, 

 there being over 200 varieties grown 

 on the grounds. F. B.
