they have taken on their protective 

 scale covering. Therefore, where trees 

 are sprayed regularly it is fast becom- 

 ing difficult to find any evidence of the 

 scale and it has ceased to be a bugbear. 



KNOXVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



Since last report there has been a 

 favorably change in the weather. After 

 a drought of some six or eight weeks' 

 duration we are having an ample supply 

 of rain and the season could not be bet- 

 ter. Everything outside has taken on 

 new life and there is an abundance of 

 gladioli, asters, dahlias, hydrangeas, 

 etc. Even stock that was thought to be 

 practically dried up has revived and is 

 giving some good blooms. 



The market remains good; in fact, one 

 could hardly hope for better business at 

 this season of the year and, although 

 there is an oversupply of stock, prices 

 remain the same. Gladioli bring from 

 $3 to $5 per dozen; asters, 75 cents to 

 $1.50 per dozen; dahlias, from 75 cents 

 to $3 per dozen; snapdragon, $1 to $3 per 

 dozen, and hydrangeas from $2 to $4 per 

 dozen. The offerings of roses are un- 

 usually good and there is a good demand 

 for them at from $2 to $6 per dozen. 



Various Notes. 



Addison J. McNutt makes a favorable 

 report. He is having lots of business, 

 with a good supply of stock to take care 

 of it. He is cutting a fine crop of Bus- 

 sell and Kaiserin roses and also some 

 good gladioli, asters and dahlias. Mr. 

 McNutt has been a regular attendant at 

 the S. A. F. conventions for a number 

 of years, but owing to the rush of busi- 

 ness and the shortage of help was not 

 able to attend this year. Mrs. P. K. 

 Holden is taking her vacation and an- 

 ticipates a trip lO Memphis, Tenn. 



Mrs. Rosa Hall Eyno reports business 

 good. July was an exceptionally good 

 month and August promises to do quite 

 * as well. She is cutting a fine crop of 

 asters and some good gladioli. Edward 

 L. Eyno has just been discharged from 

 the army after thirteen months' service 

 overseas. He was engaged in a number 

 of battles, but is unhurt. 



Mrs. S. C. Custer, whose place of busi- 

 ness is in the residence section, is doing 

 considerable business. Mrs. Custer has 

 been in the business for a number of 

 years and has an established trade. Al- 

 though her place is small, she grows 

 some choice stock. 



A. H. Dailey is enjoying good busi- 

 ness. He is cutting an ample supply of 

 stock in the way of asters, gladioli, dah- 

 lias, hydrangeas and roses. Mrs. How- 

 ard Stair has just returned to work after 

 a pleasant vacation at Chicago and 

 other northern points. 



Business is good at Crouch 's. All va- 

 cations are over and everyone is ready 

 for the fall season. They have just 

 finished planting carnations and chrys- 

 anthemums and everything looks favor- 

 able for a good fall and winter business. 

 They are cutting some extra choice 

 Columbia roses. 



Baum's Home of Flowers, Inc., as 

 usual, is busy. There has been a steady 

 demand for flowers for weddings, recep- 

 tions, hospitals and funerals during the 

 entire summer. They furnished deco- 

 rations for the reorganization of 

 the chain of Kuhlman's Drug Stores, 

 August 8. They are cutting a nice crop
