The Market. 



Taking into consideration the Lenten 

 season, the florists could not hope for 

 better business. The bright days of the 

 last few weeks have had their effect on 

 greenhouse stock, and the results are 

 that the market is overstocked. The 

 supply of carnations and Easter lilies 

 is especially heavy, while the supply of 

 other stock is greater than usual. It 

 is a hard matter to dispose of this sur- 

 plus at any price, as the market seems 

 to be in the same condition throughout 

 the country. 



Various Notes. 



The monthly meeting of the Knox- 

 ville Florists' Society was held April 

 10 at the Baum store. The meetings of 

 late have been largely attended and 

 unusually enthusiastic, probably on ac- 

 count of the refreshments served at 

 every meeting. At each meeting a com- 

 mittee is appointed to purchase refresh- 

 ments for the next meeting. So far this 

 has proven to be the best method of 

 getting a large attendance. 



Since purchasing the store and green- 

 houses of the C. W. Crouch Co., A. J. 

 McNutt has made many improvements. 

 The interior of the store is being com- 

 pletely overhauled and when finished 

 will have a distinctive appearance. Mr. 

 McNutt has replaced the "Little 

 Henry" delivery car with an Overland 

 truck, and has made a number of 

 changes and improvements at the green- 

 houses. 



Will Eyno has been ill for some time, 

 but is reported to be improving. 



A. H. Dailey is beginning to receive 

 orders for bedding plants. He has about 

 the finest lot of plants ever seen in this 

 vicinity and no doubt will do a. great 

 business, as the demand for this line 

 of stock is heavy in Knoxville and 

 vicinity. ^- E. M. 



Charlotte, Mich. — W. E. Garman, of 

 the Ferndale Greenhouses, is growing 

 125,000 plants of Atropa Belladonna 

 for a local physician. The price of 

 the drug taken from these plants has 

 advanced more than 100 per cent since 

 the European war started.
