KNOXVILLIANS TAKE DAY OFF. 



The Knoxville, Tenn., Florists' So- 

 ciety held its fourth' annual picnic 

 August 3, at a fish trap on the llolston 

 river, near Mascot, Tenn. Heretofore 

 the picnics have been held at quite a 

 distance from Knoxville and consider- 

 able time has been taken up in going 

 to and from the place. This time it was 

 decided to have it as near as possible, so 

 Mascot island, a distance of about fif- 

 teen miles from Knoxville, was selected 

 as the place. The trip was made in 

 automobiles to the river, where row- 

 boats were used to cross to the island. 



The forenoon was spent in rambling 

 about the grounds and exchanging notes 

 in the shade of the beautiful trees. At 

 noon a bountiful dinner was served, and 

 it seemed that everyone had a good ap- 

 petite. Dinner over, many made for the 

 river; some fished, some took target 

 practice, while others just sat around in 

 the shade and watched the various 

 amusements. Late in the afternoon the 

 entire crowd enjoyed a watermelon feast 

 and soon after departed for home. The 

 day was ideal for a picnic and the place 

 was one of the most appropriate for the 

 occasion in eastern Tennessee.

NEWARK, N. J. 



Business was quiet with the retailers 

 last week, but the growers were busy. 

 Most of them have their chrysan- 

 themums benched. Carnations iii the 

 field are doing well. 



The annual outing of the Essex 

 County Florists' Club was held August 

 1, at Gillette, N. J. There were about 

 125 persons present, among them being 

 several from New York city. There 

 was a program of athletic events and a 

 picnic supper. The crowd was taken 

 from Lincoln park, Newark, to the 

 grounds by automobiles. 



McLaughlin & Murphy were unusual- 

 ly busy with funeral work during the 

 last ten days. 



Charles Luthy has been doing a good 

 business at his new branch store on 

 West Elizabeth street. 



J. E. & A. G. Hutchinson, 227 Broad 

 street, Elizabeth, have closed their store 

 during the month of August. This is 

 the firm's annual custom. E. B. M. 



Ashtabula, O. — Silvieus & Silvieus, 

 Eoy L. and Virginia C, are planning to 

 open a retail store this autumn in a 

 town of 20,000 inhabitants which al- 

 ready has two flower stores.

Profit!? in tlie greenhouse business are larger 

 than ever. VVhat <lo-s it niatier if the original 

 invpstnisnt is a trifle greater? It's the per- 

 centage of profit that counts after all. 



liefore the advance, we contracted for a big 

 supply of Louisiana Red C.vtress lumber. We 

 are therefore still in a position to make you 

 exceedingly attractive prices on strictly guar- 

 anteed greenhouse work. Write immediately 

 — before you misplace this address.

Great Saving in Preparing ^ 

 Land for Carnation Stock ^ 



FollowiinJT Is wh.it KrctSfhmar Bros., 

 of West Myack, New York, say of tlio 

 System : 



" It has always been a great exiwnse 

 to prepare our land for tlic carna- 

 tion stock before planting, as each 

 (lay we would only plough enouKrh 

 for the day's planllner so that we 

 could work In moist soil. Tills also 

 would be all hand raked to sret It In 

 the best con<lltloii. We can now 

 plough the whole stiip and harrow 

 with a spiked tooth harrow and use 

 the Skinner Systt-ni after each day's 

 planting to water them down."
