The Florists^ Review 



JANUABY 23, 1919. 



KNOXVTLLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



We have had during the last week 

 ideal growing weather, beautiful, bright 

 days, with crisp, cool nights. But the 

 demand still keeps ahead of the supply, 

 even with increased receipts of stock. 

 The last week has been the busiest in- 

 many months, not only in funeral work, 

 but in all lines. Our bank clearings 

 show that Knoxville has more money 

 than ever before and the people are cer- 

 tainly spending it and the florists are 

 getting their share. Stock of all kinds 

 continues to bring the best prices, and 

 never before was so much artificial stock 

 sold. One firm alone sold as many as 

 fifty prepared wreaths per week and 

 then was not able to meet the demand. 

 Cyclamens continue to be in demand and 

 the few shown are good. A trip through 

 the market garden section makes one 

 feel that spring is here, with lettuce and 

 other spring vegetables looking fine. The 

 gardeners are preparing for large crops 

 this spring. 



Various Notes. 



A. J. McNutt reports flowers scarce. 

 Even with additional supply, he does 

 not have stock enough for the demand. 

 Mrs. Ella Angus, who has been in Mr. 

 McNutt 's employ for several years, re- 

 tired from the florists' business several 

 days ago. She was considered one of the 

 best designers in the city. 



H. Cheeseman, with Ealph M. Ward 

 & Co., was a caller on the trade this 

 week. He reports that the demand for 

 stock of all kinds has never been greater. 



K. P. B. 



Columbus, O. — T. J. Ludwig was for- 

 tunate when he secured a leading op- 

 tician as a neighbor. On the one side, 

 running one-half the depth of the store, 

 is a succession of devices showing 

 natural flowers and floral works of art. 

 On the other are a number of tables 

 with chairs, for those interested in 

 optical goods. The optician finds the 

 optics of his patrons ever have a natural 

 disposition to focus on the attractive 

 floral display presented. Mr. Ludwig 

 incidentally mentions that he never saw 

 eyes open wider than around the holi- 

 days, when carnations were priced.
