The Florists^ Review 



NOVBMBKK 19, 1914. 



KNOXVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



Trade has picked up wonderfully dur- 

 ing the last week. This ia duer-to the 

 fact that we have been having)a little 

 winter weather, and a ^feSV^ many 

 funerals; also a continuous round of 

 social affairs. Chrysanthemums, car- 

 nations and roses are the main crop at 

 present, but some of the florists are 

 cutting nice sweet peas and violets, 

 which find ready sale. 



The bulb business, taken as a whole, 

 is. not so good as it has been in former 

 seasons. While the florists are selling 

 about the usual number of bulbs, the 

 different seed houses, which no doubt 

 do the greatest amount of business in 

 this line, report sales as light. This 

 might be attributed to the fact that 

 the bulbs were not received until a 

 little late this season; also, the price 

 was a fraction higher than usual. 



Various Notes. 



Chas. L. ,Baum, who attended the 

 chrysanthemum show in Indianapolis, 

 reports a fine trip. On the way up he 

 stopped at Louisville, and on his return 

 at Bichmond, Ind., and Cincinnati. 



Mr. Speer, formerly of Columbus, O., 



. who has been for some time with C. W. 



Crouch, of this city, is now with A. H. 



Dailey, who has had his hands full of 



business. 



Mrs. Bosa Hall Kyno's force is hav- 

 ing plenty to do in the way of funeral 

 work. She also has had several wed- 

 ding jobs of considerable note. As her 

 chrysanthemums were a little early this 

 year, the crop will soon be exhausted 

 and she will be compelled to fall back 

 on carnations, which are blooming 

 nicely. Mrs. Eyno has been ill for 

 some time, but is much' better, and will 

 soon be able to get back to business. 



Crouch's are having unusually good 

 trade. They made a number of beauti- 

 ful designs for the funeral of J. C. 

 Luttrell, one of the most attractive 

 being a casket cover of valley, orchids 

 and white roses. They are cutting a 

 sufficient supply of good stock. 



Addison J. McNutt reports a good 

 business for last week. His place be- 

 ing in the Market house, he does an 

 excellent business on Saturdays, 



Chas. L. Baum's force may be seen 

 busy any time in the day, and many 

 times at night. He has a great many 

 out-of-town agents. His new chrysan- 

 themum, Lena Bauni, is now in season 

 and from all indications will be a fine 

 commercial variety. S. S. Skidelsky, 

 while calling on the trade in Knoxville, 

 spent Sunday with Mr. Baum.
