CHATTANOOQANS ORGANIZE. 



The evening of June 15 the florists of 

 Chattanooga held a meeting at the store 

 of the Joy Floral Co., with a good at- 

 tendance. The subject of forming an 

 organization was discussed and a per- 

 manent local organization was formed, 

 with the following officers: President, 

 G. A. Kimmell, of the Haeger Floral 

 Co.; vice-president, John Karsten, of 

 Karsten's; secretary, J. F. Farrell, of 

 the Volunteer Floral Shop; treasurer, 

 Mrs. Goetz, of Joy's. After the officers 

 were elected a committee was appointed 

 to take up the matter of the next State 

 Florists' Association meeting. A vote 

 was taken and the next meeting will be 

 held October 25 and 26, in Chattanooga. 



The following officers of the State 

 Florists' Association were present at 

 the meeting: President, W. H. Engle- 

 hart, of Memphis; vice-president, Har- 

 old Joy, of Nashville, and secretary and 

 treasurer, G. M. Bentley, of Knoxville. 

 Other visitors were Thomas H. Joy, of 

 Nashville, and Karl Baum, of Knox- 

 ville. 



The new club starts out with twenty 



members to do what they can to make 

 the October state meeting a success and 

 the greatest ever held. G. A. K.

The Market. 



Stock of all kinds is in large supply 

 with the exception of white roses. 

 Stock in this is scarce and the demand 

 strong, owing to the great number of 

 June weddings. The demand for orchids 

 is great and the supply is not equal to 

 the demand. Carnations are not so 

 good in quality, owing to the extremely 

 hot weather. There is a great demand 

 for delphiniums, Shasta daisies and 

 coreopsis. 



Various Notes. 



The Blossom Floral Co. has had a 

 heavy demand for Dorothy Perkins 

 roses, which they are putting out in a 

 special novelty flower pot. The com- 

 pany has been busy with a number of 

 weddings. Some of the baskets were 

 furnished for the opening of the Grant 

 Co. 



The Flick Floral Co. has been un- 

 usually busy with graduation bouquets 

 and weddings. Miss Jeanette Shock is 

 away on her vacation. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey have sent out a 

 number of large orders of rose plants. 

 This firm makes a specialty of roses 

 and has excellent stock. 



The following were among the trade 

 visitors: A. H. Hines, of the A. L. 

 Randall Co., Chicago; H. A. Hecht, of 

 Wertheimer Bros., New York, and 

 P. H. Wussow, of the W. W, Barnard 

 Co., Chicago. S. N. 



QUICtf ACTION. 



A's an indication of how good the 



window-box and lawn-vase season has 



been, read this: 



Please cancel our vinca ad in the Classified 

 department of The Review, as the one insertion 

 sold us out. We received six orders by tele- 

 graph the some day The Review arrived. — C. M.

If you hear a man complain of the 



cost of advertising you can be pretty 



certain he spends a good bit of money 



elsewhere than in The Review.
