KNOXVILLE, TENN. 



Florists' Charity Show. 



November 15 to 17 the Knoxville 

 Florists' Society held a fall flower 

 show in a vacant store-room at 412 Gay 

 street, Knoxville. The show was given 

 for the benefit of the Young Women's 

 Christian Association, which recently 

 started a campaign for a building fund. 

 An admission fee of 25 cents was 

 charged, all of which went to the 

 Y. W. C. A., the florists receiving only 

 the publicity. 



This is the first flower show held in 

 Knoxville for a number of years and, 

 though not as largely attended as hoped 

 for, it proved quite a success. It was 

 participated in by all the florists and 

 a number of amateurs, and fine stock 

 was exhibited. No prizes were 

 awarded, except to the amateurs. 



Mrs. Rosa Hall Eyno's exhibit was a 

 beautiful mantel decoration of ferns, 

 fancy-leaved caladiums, araucarias, 

 draceenas, aspidistras,' begonias, pan- 

 danus, crotons, etc. 



A. H. Dailey had some handsome 

 Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty, Radiance and 

 Kaiserin roses. These were without a 

 doubt the finest ever shown in Knox- 

 ville at this season of the year. Mr. 

 Dailey also had a good table decora 

 tion. 



The C. W. Crouch Co. feature dis- 

 play was a large urn of Radiance roses. 

 The company also showed some fine 

 chrysanthemums and blooming plants, 

 and its table decoration probably was 

 the most artistic at the show. 



Baum's exhibit consisted of a table 

 of thirty-six varieties of chrysanthe- 

 mums, one to each vase, and also a 

 general display of the same varieties. 



six to a vase. They also showed some 

 excellent carnations in four varieties, 

 100 to a vase. A most attractive fea- 

 ture of the Baum exhibit was two 

 large vases of chrysanthemums. There 

 were 100 blooms each of William 

 Turner and Odessa, the blooms aver- 

 aging ten inches in diameter and val- 

 ued at $1 each. 



Lectures and Stereopticon Attract. 



The Howell Nurseries exhibited some 

 fine stock in evergreens and hardy 

 shrubs. 



The department of entomology of the 

 University of Tennessee — G. M. Bent- 

 ley — furnished quite a number of 

 plants; also a large collection of both 

 destructive and beneficial insects. 



On the evening of November 16, Pro- 

 fessor Bain, of the University of Ten- 

 nessee, gave his noted and popular illus- 

 trated lecture on the natural flora of 

 this part of the country. November 17 

 Bruce Howell, of the Howell Nurseries, 

 gave a lecture and showed stereopticon 

 views of landscape work and hardy 

 shrubs. These lectures proved strong 

 features and helped to bring the people 

 out. R. E. M.

The State Florists' Show. 



For the third successive year the 

 Texas State Florists' Association has 

 held a flower show that called the flo- 

 rists of the southwest into active co- 

 operation and enlisted the assistance 

 of others from San Francisco to Chi- 

 cago. 



The show, held in Dallas, November 

 15 to 17, was successful in every way 

 and was by many considered an ad- 

 vance on what the organization has

done in preceding years. Although the 

 officers of the association did a consid- 

 erable part of the work, the local re- 

 sponsibility was delegated to Henry F. 

 Greve, of the Dallas Floral Co., and 

 to Otto Lang, and to their efforts no 

 small credit should be given for the 

 happy result. 



The show was staged in the old Santa 

 Fe railroad station in cooperation with 

 a local organization known as the 

 Woman's Forum.
