The Florists'" Review 



Apbil 24, 1913. 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



The last two or three weeks have 

 been peculiar in some respects. At one 

 time there was the heaviest surplus of 

 cut flowers that Nashville has seen in 

 months. Both roses and carnations 

 were accumulating by the thousand. 

 The next week everyone was short on 

 stock and was unable to secure it from 

 out of town. Several stores had large 

 openings and purchased several thou- 

 sand carnations, which were given away 

 to visitors. The growers realized good 

 prices for these and all the cold storage 

 stock was used up. Roses are off crop. 

 The supply does not begin to be equal 

 to the demand. Sweet peas are not 

 nearly so numerous as they were a few 

 weeks ago. Violets are practically 

 gone, as are daffodils and narcissi. The 

 supply of carnations is perhaps better 

 than in any other item, but these are 

 neither so plentiful nor so good quality 

 as they were a few weeks ago. There 

 is a good supply of lilies, but none to 

 spare. Outdoor lilac is beginning to 

 come in, but the frost killed most of it. 



With a light frost April 20 there 

 came a slacking up in the business in 

 bedding plants that started last week. 

 Our growers have already put thousands 

 of carnations in the field and planting 

 is going forward rapidly. 



Various Notes. 



J. F. Corbitt, a railroad conductor re- 

 siding in East Nashville, has estab- 

 lished a nice little plant for growing 

 cut flowers and bedding stock, which 

 he has been disposing of largely at 

 wholesale. Last week he completed 

 arrangements with a first-class green- 

 house man to operate his plant on 

 shares for the next year. 



The Mount Olivet cemetery green- 

 houses have done • by far the largest 

 business in their history since Janu- 

 ary 1. They never have had such a 

 good supply of bedding stock as at pres- 

 ent. They will be forced to enlarge 

 their plant soon, from present indica- 

 tions. 



Geny Bros, say they sold more car- 

 nations week before last than they ever 

 sold in one week before. 



The Joy Floral Co. planted 45,000 

 carnations in the field last week. 



Mclntyre Bros, report business in 

 bedding plants as unusually heavy last 

 week. 



Haury & Sons report that they have 

 been kept cleaned up closely all the 

 time for the last two or three weeks, 

 and that funeral work has been espe- 

 cially heavy. F. B.
