The Florists' Review 



NOVEMBBB 27. 1919. 



KNOXVTLLE, TBNN. 



The Market. 



With ideal weather for last week, busi- 

 ness was good. There was a good sup- 

 ply of stock, but owing to the heavy 

 demand there has not been a surplus. 

 There are plenty of chrysanthemums for 

 Thanksgiving. Dolly Dimple is now in 

 bloom and it is indeed fine. It is no 

 trouble at all to get $1 per bloom for 

 it. The cut of roses has improved won- 

 derfully, but owing to the unusual de- 

 mand for them there is a scarcity. The 

 carnation crop is also improving. There 

 is a good crop of orchids and the demand 

 for them is good; they bring from $1.50 

 ■ to $2.50 per bloom. Narcissi are coming 

 in and are unusually fine this season. 

 Bulb trade remains good, despite the 

 lateness of the season. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Edna Coram, saleslady, at Baum 's 

 ,Home of Flowers, met with an accident 

 November 19 resulting in her removal 

 to the Eiverside hospital for an opera- 

 tion. Her left foot was accidentally 

 caught in the closing door of an icebox, 

 . with the result that the heel tendon was 

 severed. She is progressing nicely, but 

 will not be able to return to work for 

 some time. B. E. M.

The Market. 



Better business was reported for last 

 week. There was cohsiderable funeral 

 work, some wedding work and an in- 

 crease in decorations for social events. 

 Counter trade has increased slightly. 

 The pH*0''lif chrysanthemums is still 

 mtfaer'lii^h^ but other flowers are reason- 

 able in pti^e. 



VVarlous Notes.

 ♦several big decorations. 



Fred P. Wolfinger, 883 Broad street,

Armstrong Nurseries, of Ontario,

"We grow on one acre as 

 many plants and get bet- 

 ter results than we would 

 on five acres of land under 

 the furrow system."

A Glazing Putty 

 of Real Value 



In all our experience and inyestigation 

 we bad never found s. preparation for 

 bulbing over the outside of a greenhouse 

 that was quite satisfactory, until we ran 

 across PERMANITE. This was about 

 four years ago . At that time we set about 

 investigating the merits of PERMANITE 

 and proceeded to watch the results of its 

 application to greenhouse roofs. 



Last year we were entirely convinced 

 of Its high quality and durability, and ac- 

 cepted the western agency for the sale of 

 these goods. 



We applied PERMANITE to hundreds 

 of greenhouse roofs, over almost every 

 part of the United States. 



The results obtained were highly satis- 

 factory indeed. Glass roofs of all kinds, 

 both old and new, were made water-tight 

 and air-tight, saving thousands of plants 

 from being spoiled by water dripping on 

 them and saving many hundreds of tons of 

 coal by making the roofs proof against 

 the wind and storms of winter. 



We give PERMANITE our unqualified 

 endorsement and recommend it highly for 

 all kinds of glazing. 



We have a very large stock on hand 

 in our warehouse and can ship imme- 

 diately.
