The Market. 



The weather continues dark and 

 cloudy, with a great deal of rain. In 

 fact, we have had little sunshine for 

 about three weeks. This is becoming 

 a rather serious matter with the flo- 

 rists, as stock is blooming only sparing- 

 ly, and, with fairly good trade, it has 

 been necessary to buy from other mar- 

 kets. It is feared that stock that was 

 timed for Christmas will not come in 

 antil afterward. 



Club Meeting. 



The Knoxville Florists' Society, up- 

 on invitation, met December 7 at the 

 Board of Commerce building, with a 

 special committee from the Board of 

 Trade. As this was the last meeting 

 of the year, officers were elected for the 

 coming year, as follows: President, 

 C. L. Baum; vice-president, Mrs. Edith 

 Crouch; secretary and treasurer, A. J. 

 McNutt. 



Among a number of matters dis- 

 cussed, the most important was that of 

 closing the stores on Sunday. A com- 

 mittee was appointed to confer with the 

 ministers, undertakers and cemetery 

 superintendents and ascertain whether 

 they would be willing to cooperate with 

 the society in this movement. 



The time for the meetings of the so- 

 ciety was changed from the first Tues- 

 day of each month to the second Mon- 

 day, on account of the former date be- 

 ing so close to the first of the month. 



John Van Zonneveld, of Sassenheim, 

 Holland, was present at the meeting. 



Various Notes. 



C. L. Baum is showing the public 

 something classy in a florists' tele- 

 graph delivery window. He collected 

 shipping tags from all the members of 

 fhe F. T. D. and has them arranged 

 upon a green background of cloth, each 

 tag representing the town whence it 

 came. The tags are all connected to 

 a telegraph instrument placed on a 

 table at one end of the window. The 

 instrument is apparently being oper- 

 ated by a lady figure. The floor of the 

 window is covered with telegrams and 

 decorated with holly and Christmas 

 wreaths. This is not only an attractive 

 window, but has created a great deal 

 of comment, accompanied by questions 

 in regard to the F. T. D. and its sys- 

 tem.
