ENOZVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



With continued favorable weather, 

 stock is fine, even better than last 

 week. Eoses and carnations are better 

 than ever before at this time of the 

 year, while orchids, valley, hyacinths 

 and narcissi are good and plentiful. 



Trade has been good this last week, 

 funeral work being rather heavy. So- 

 ciety has been on the move and decora- 

 tions and bouquets for various occa- 

 sions have been in demand. 



Various Notes. 



The Knoxville Florists' Society en- 

 joyed a delightful time at a banquet, 

 held at the Imperial hotel, Tuesday 

 night, January 12, which was largely 

 attended and thoroughly enjoyed by 

 everyone present. The decoration was 

 of roses and carnations of the latest 

 varieties, and the society wishes to ex- 

 tend its hearty thanks to E. G. Hill, 

 of Eichmond, Ind., for his donation of 

 Hoosier Beauty and Ophelia roses, and 

 for his carnations, which were un- 

 named; also to Gunnar Teilmann, of 

 Johnson City, Tenn,, who sent a nice 

 box of his new pink seedling carnation. 

 Lady Grace. 



C. L. Baum is cutting some fine stock. 

 His orchid crop is heavy, and although 

 the demand has been good, he is unable 

 to dispose of them all on the local 

 market. 



Trade at C. W. Crouch's has been 

 good. He is cutting a nice lot of or- 

 chids, which sell at good prices. 



A. H. Dailey has been rather busy 

 with funeral work. His stock is better 

 than usual at this season of the year. 



W. E. Eyno's mother died Monday, 

 January 11, suddenly and unexpectedly, 

 and the deepest sympathy of all brother- 

 florists has been extended to him and 

 his family. 



Addison J. McNutt" is cutting some 

 fine stock, principally sweet peas. 



E. E. M. 



Cleveland, O.— Gordon Gray, 6605 

 Quincy avenue, feels the weight of his 

 seventy-four years but slightly while 

 the ice on the curling rinks at Eocke- 

 feller park is in good condition. He was 

 one of the contestants for the Bell tro- 

 phy in the curling tournament.

The Way 



A. V. Broome Figures 



That the Skinner System 



of Irrigation Saves Him Money 



A. V. Broome, Mgr., A. L. Bush 

 & Co., Fond-du-Lac, Wis., says: 



"After two years of use, our experi- 

 ence with the Skinner System can be 

 summed up in one word— "Perfect "— 

 both in the greenhouse and out-of-doors. 

 In the greenhouse we use it daily, and 

 find by actual test it consumes one-third 

 less water to properly water each inch of 

 either bed or potted stock, than it does 



to do the same work by hose, and when 

 the work is done by the Skinner System, 

 it is all done alike, whereas by the hose 

 this is impossible, 



"Then again, if one adds up the time 

 for a year at one hour per day, and de- 

 ducts that from bis payroll, he will find 

 the price of installing will be on the 

 credit side of the ledger. At least, that 

 is the way we found it to be in our 

 little place." 



SPECIAL OFFER 



To prove to yourself beyond all doubt 

 that our System is the System to buy. 

 and that it will do exactly what we say 

 it will- order one of our Complete Port- 

 able Lines, and try it out. It consists 

 of a 60-foot line of pipe, fully equipped 

 with nozzles, turning union, roller bear- 

 ing supports, and our new quick detach- 

 able coupling, on which patents are now 



pending. We will ship it to you for $11.75 

 f. 0, b. Troy, Ohio. If you send money 

 with the order, we will do one of two 

 things- either prepay the freight east of 

 the Mississippi .River, or send you two 

 sets of nozzles, one for greenhouse and 

 one for out-of-door use. State which you 

 want us to do. If you haven't our Irriga- 

 tion Bulletins, send for them.
