. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. Oscar Geny. Of Geny Nashville.

There are 4,000 rose plants, all thrifty and of healthy, vigorous growth and prom- ise Well for the season and are even now bearing abundantly. Three houses are in carnations with 20,000 plants, including White Perfection, En- chantress, White Enchantress, Mrs. Lawson, Beacon, Winsor and others. Two houses are in chrysanthemums and contain Lynwood Hall, Golden Wedding, Golden Eagle, Golden Glow, Mdlle. Jeanie Nonin, Minnie Bailey, Yanoma and other varieties. Mr. Geny had the,first chrysanthemums in the market this season, which came in time for our State Fair, and so early, during such very hot weather, that some of the flowers were scorched and it was with extreme difliculty that the blossoms were kept from spoiling en- tirely. A fine propagating house 8x200 feet has just been added. Fifteen thousand violet plants are in the long cold frames and will give a good sup- ply of violets through the season. They are chiefly California and Princess of Wales. The outside garden is full of bulbs of all kinds, the Emperor and Empress narcissi, peonies. Ascension lilies and other early out-of-door stuff. There is also a rose garden in which are the hardy roses, Clothilde Soupert, Mamam Cochet, Souvenir de Mal- maison, W^. R. Smith, Etoile de Lyon and many others. Each season these are potted up and supply the two-year- old rose trade. They will soon be lift- ed and put in cold frames until the sea- son opens in the spring. There is al- ways a great demand for two-year-old roses by all flower lovers. The place is provided with the Skin- ner sprinkling system, installed in all the houses as well as out-of-doors for the field-grown flowers. The water supply is pumped from Richland
