"Your patented LEAK-PROOF gutter has stood the test. We had 

 '11 days of constant rain and no leak anywhere. We are glad to substan- 

 tiate the claims you make for this gutter." 



We are the patentees and sole manufacturers of this 



LEAK-PROOF gutter which is giving so much satisfaction.

KNOXVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



The weather has been unusually cool 

 for the last two weeks and business has 

 been good. Numerous social events 

 have created a great demand for flow- 

 ers, A number of prominent weddings 

 have taken place recently and the flo- 

 rists have come in for a good share of 

 the proceeds in the way of decorations 

 and bouquets. There has also been a 

 heavv demand for funeral flowers. 



A "hard freeze early in the month put 

 iin end to outdoor flowers, and the only 

 source of supply now is greenhouse 

 stock. The growers are cutting some 

 excellent stock, which under ordinary 

 conditions would be an ample supply, 

 but owing to the unusually heavy de- 

 mand there has been a scarcity, and on 

 scv(M-:il occasions of late the florists 

 wore forced to use a few artificial flow- 

 cis ill funeral work. 



The current retail i)rice of chrysan- 

 themums is $4 to $15 per dozen; pompon 

 chrysanthemums, $2 1o $3 per dozen 

 sprays; roses, $2 to $12 per dozen; car- 

 nations, $2 i)er dozen; narcissi, $2 per 

 dozen; sweet peas, $4 and $.3 per hun- 

 dred; orchids, $2 and $;i each. In plants, 

 cvclamens sell at $3.50 to $10; begonias, 

 .f'.') to $10; pomi)on chrysanthemums, $1 

 to $3, and ferns at $1.50 to $10. 



Various Notes. 



The prospects for Thanksgiving busi- 

 ness were good. The only drawback 

 seemed a possible scarcity of stock, but 

 the growers believed they could furnish 

 enough for all demands. 



The Knoxville party at the state con- 

 vention at Memphis was made up of 

 Addison J. McNutt, G. M. Bentley, 

 Charles L. Baum, Karl P. Banm and 

 Roy L. Baum. They report an enthu- 

 siastic and interesting meeting. 



Baum's Home of Flowers held its fall 

 opening Monday, November 22, from 

 12 until 10 p. m. The interior of the 

 store had recently been remodeled and 

 was beautifully decorated for the open- 

 ing. There was a gorgeous display of 

 chrvsanthemums, roses, carnations, or- 

 chids, ferns, cyclamens, begonias, palms 

 and everything that goes to make up 

 a beautiful decoration. Every person 

 visiting the store was given a flower as 

 a souvenir, and the opening was a great 

 success from an advertising point of 

 view. 



Crouch is cutting some fine stock. He 

 has about the best prospects for sweet 

 peas ever seen in this section. His roses
