The Florists^ Review 



jANUAttY 2, 1919. 



have an interesting story. Let every 

 member of the trade in this section 

 make a special effort to be present and 

 receive the inspiration that is bound to 

 come from meeting with these leaders 

 of the profession.

The Market. 



Never before has Christmas business 

 been so heavy and, after all, stock was 

 not. so scarce as ianticipated. AH cut 

 floorers sold out clean at the highest 

 prijlies ever received on this market, and 

 it Was noticeable that the high-priced 

 stock sold first. 



Columbia, Eussell, Hoosier Beauty 

 an4 Hadley roses were much in demand 

 and sold at from $5 to $12 per dozen. 

 All carnations were fine and the best 

 red sold for $4 per dozen; white and 

 other colors brought- from $2.50 to $3 

 per; dozen. Paper "Whites sold for $2, 

 Soleil id 'Or from $2.50 to $3 per dozen, 

 BomanjB $1.50 and $2 per dozen, orchids 

 $1.50 and $2 each, sweet peas in lim- 

 ited qiiantities at $5 per hundred. 



All plants sold well, but were limited 

 in supply. The following were shown: 

 Po&asettias, from $1 to $10 per pot; 

 cy(^mens, from $1.50 to $5; begonias, 

 from $2 .to $6; peppers and cherries, 

 $1 to $3; potted Paper Whites and 

 lans, from $1.50 to $5. Birch -bark 

 lelMMAd.wiUow baskets made up of 

 3,^dli||^ii^»^elify8anthemums, lilies, 

 lia and poinsettias were plentiful 

 ~lat -prices from $4 to $25 

 ■Unere" were practically no 

 plantHiTaskets left over. Holly wreaths 

 8olf''''S»JBp'titmally well this year at 

 $l.oO to $5 each. Immortelles and 

 wreaths sold well. 



Solly this year was not so plentiful 

 as in former years, but the quality was 

 much better, large, with well colored 

 berries and dark green foliage, and the 

 price was three times as much as in 

 former years. Knoxville experienced 

 its first snow the ^orning of December 

 28. December weather, as a whole, has 

 been ■vytirmvand bright. 



Funeral work has continued to clean 

 up all stock each day; also the demand 

 for wax and prepared wreaths is strong 

 and helps out the supply of natural 

 flowers. 



Varlons Notes. 



A. J. McNutt cut some choice Eussell 

 roses for Christmas and was compelled 

 to refuse orders for them. His sweet 

 pea crop is fine. He reports Christmas 

 business good and is well pleased. Mrs. 

 Ella Angus, with Mr. McNutt, has the 

 sympathy of tjie. tjrade in the loss of 

 her sister. 



A. H. Dailey reports a good Christ- 

 mas. He sold out all stock at top prices. 



Mrs. Bosa Hall Eyno, as usual, had 

 choice plants for Christmas. 



Baum's Home of Flowers, Inc., had 

 some of the finest red carnations ever 

 shown on this market, also the finest 

 Columbia roses. This firm was fortu- 

 nate in having enough stock of its own 

 growth, as the shipments coming were 

 poor and in most cases delayed. It re- 

 ports a fifteen per cent increase in 

 Christmas business, with a thirty-five 

 per cent decrease in Christmas expenses, 

 which speaks well for its system. This
