things and holding fast to that which 

 is good." 



.Dahlias now are coming in fairly 

 well, though it has been so dry of late 

 that the quality is not of the best. 

 The heavy rains of the last two nights, 

 together with the cool nights, should 

 rapidly improve the quality. Tuberoses 

 are appearing in most of the stores, a 

 sure indication in this market that 

 other stock is scarce. Cosmos is not 

 good this year and little of it is being 

 used. In fact, the summer saw few 

 good cut flowers. Chrysanthemums 

 will not make their appearance for at 

 least two weeks, the trade having 

 found that the early crop is not profit- 

 able in this city. It is both hard to 

 grow and hard to sell. 



Few of the Dutch bulbs have been 

 seen as yet and some of us are growing 

 a little nervous about them. The French 

 bulbs also are late, only a few having 

 arrived. Those that are here are of 

 good quality, however. 



The wholesale business has been un- 



usually heavy thus far this season. The 

 city is shipping more flowers to the out- 

 of-town trade this fall than ever before. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Cornell is building another 

 house at his range at Eastland. 



The state entomologist inspected all 

 the greenhouses about the city last 

 week. He reports that none of the 

 houses has any serious pests. 



Miss Lillian Joy has returned from 

 a trip through the east. She has re- 

 sumed her duties at the store. 



Geny Bros, have their old range in 

 the best of condition. They have de- 

 cided not to dismantle it and so are 

 making improvements again. 



The Joys received" their first consign- 

 ment of Paper Whites last week. They 

 are doing a good wholesale business in 

 carnations. 



Floyd Bralliar was in Knoxville last 

 week attending to some work in the of- 

 fice of the state entomologist. 



I have heard several favorable com- 



ments on the part of out-of-town visi- 

 tors on the cement benches in the 

 greenhouses of Mclntyre Bros. The 

 benches have been in use for about 

 four years, but they look as new as if 

 just built. 



Haury & Sons had an exhibit at the 

 state fair last week. It pays to show 

 good stock. F. B.

The Market. 



Funeral work formed the bulk of the 

 business here last week. During the 

 early part of the week stock was scarce, 

 but this was largely due to the fact that 

 there was little sent in until the middle 

 of the week. September 22 and 23 there 

 was plenty of everything, with the ex- 

 ception of asters and lily of the valley. 

 The sales were more brisk and business 

 generally more satisfactory than has 

 been the case for some few weeks. 

 Prices generally remain the same. It
