The Florists' Review 



Dbcembee 7, 1916. 



KNOXVILLE, TENN. 



Stock is scarce, but the quality was 

 never better at this season of the year. 

 Carnations are especially good and the 

 cut increases each day. 



Thanksgiving trade was gratifying 

 and was somewhat better than ex- 

 pected, though this year it had been 

 looked forward to with greater expecta- 

 tions than ever before. It is evident 

 that the day is growing in importance, 

 and if it continues to develop in the 

 next five years as it has in the last 

 five it will be one of the greatest flower 

 days of the year. Unlike other holi- 

 days, it does not call for expensive and 

 fancy stock, but merely medium-priced 

 flowers and plants which, when sold in 

 quantities, are more profitable to the 

 florist than expensive, fancy stock. The 

 business did not start until the day be- 

 fore and was over by 2 o'clock Thanks- 

 giving day. The florists had a good 

 supply of carnations, narcissi, roses and 

 chrysanthemums, as well as a nice lot 

 of cyclamen and narcissus plants. 

 Practically the entire supply was con- 

 sumed. 



The Tennessee-Kentucky football 

 game, as usual, proved a great feature 

 and everything in yellow and white 

 — the Tennessee colors — was taken up 

 long before the game started. Some of 

 the florists, having sold their flowers 

 in these colors, turned to their ribbon 

 counters and sold badges of white and 

 yellow ribbon. The Kentucky colors, 

 white and purple, were supplied by 

 tying purple ribbon on white chrysan- 

 themums. E. E. M.
