The Florists^ Review

gr^t interest in this rose. He is prop- 

 agating several thousand and intends 

 to introduce it to the trade next sea- 

 son. Mr. Joy means to grow one full 

 house for cut flowers the coming season 

 and says that he will exhibit it at all 

 the flower shows. We understand that 

 one grower is favorably enough im- 

 pressed with the rose to place an ad- 

 vance order for 12,000 plants. 



Joe Browne, proprietor of the Lischey 

 Gardens, has been keeping several 

 crews busy the last two weeks planting 

 hedges and ornamental shrubs. His 

 nursery grounds look as if a cyclone had 

 struck them, so much of the stock had 

 been moved. 



Hillcrest School Farm has completed 

 a 60-foot propagating house, princi- 

 pally for perennial plants and hardy 

 ornamentals. 



E. J. Fancourt, of P«nnock-Meehan 

 Co., Philadelphia, was a l^ashville Vis- 

 itor last week. 



Geny Bros, have a heavy stock of 

 fine lilies for the Easter trade. We un- 

 derstand that they are having a good 

 out-of-town trade in these. 



Haury' & Sons have htid a' wagon on 

 the stMrt tfith sinoe goiod- plants, arid 

 their store has been unusually attrac- 

 tive. ' They have a' full crop of prime 

 lUies for Easter. 



Mclntyre Bros, are cutting a heavy 

 crop of J3weet peas. They have had 

 their place looking like Easter for a 

 week and if they do not get their part 

 of the trade it will not be because they 

 do not have a good displAy. F. Bi

The Gateway to the South. 



The business the first day of this 

 week was just fair. There was a good 

 demand, but everyone seemed to be 

 resting on his oars, awaiting the stren- 

 uous times at the end of the week. 

 Locally, however, the week, even with- 

 out the holiday business, promises to 

 be a good one, for many flowers will 

 undoubtedly be used at the funerals of 

 some well known folks who died the 

 first part of the week. With the Easter 

 demand to top off, the market should 

 be kept cleaned up the entire week. 



Boses continue of a good quality and 

 in quantity should prove adequate for 

 the Easter demand. American Beauties 

 and Richmonds, however, are none too 

 plentiful. For the last few days the 

 carnation market has tightened con- 

 siderably. It cannot be told as yet 

 whether the growers are holding for 

 Easter or the crop is going off. The 

 call for white for March 17 was good, 

 but the wholesalers tould not quite re- 

 alize the price they had figured to get. 

 E^er lilies will be in large supply, 

 but the chances are they will clean 

 up in a jiffy. All of the offerings so 

 far have beeta good. Many good cal- 

 las are coming in. Small bulbous stock, 

 such as tulips, hyacinths, jonquils and 

 daffodils, is in large supply. Practi- 

 cally all of the stock is good. Sweet 

 peas have been selling well. Now and 

 then a wholesaler loses some, but an 

 occurrence of this kind is the exciep- 

 tion rather than the l^le. Other of- 

 ferings, none "of which, bt the' time of 

 this writing, are sfelling any too well, 

 are valley, otchids, ex'cellent gardenias 

 and single and double Vidlets. Some 

 fine stocks are offered. ■ 



The soppily ,0^ ^eens, is adequate.
