The Florists' Review 



JCNE 17, 1915. 



KNOXVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



The weather remains wet, and weeds 

 are getting a good start. This is one 

 of the wettest seasons experienced for 

 a number of years, and the ground at 

 times has been too wet to give outside 

 stock the proper culture, and almost 

 everyone is behind with his work. 



Good stock is scarce and trade is 

 rather dull. Funeral work has been 

 light, and wedding work is not so good 

 as usual at this season of the year. 

 Memorial day did not amount to much 

 with the local florists; this, however, 

 was not a surprise, as trade for this 

 day in the south is of but little signifi- 

 cance compared with that in the north 

 and east. 



For 50 Cents and Her Nerve. 



Below is a copy of a letter, which 

 is a fair sample of many plant orders 

 received and gives an idea of what the 

 florist of the fair southland has to 

 Contend with: 



Dear Sir: 



1 herewith inclose 50 rents, for which plcnse 

 send me the following plants rooted: One 

 tul)erous-rootea beRonia, some Keranium plants, 

 one flowering cyclamen, one heliotrope, one lllv 

 of the valley, four colens (I want the large- 

 follaged colens; one with darlc red leaf), one 

 doMble fuchsia, one abutilon. one petunia, four 

 verbenas, and a collection of small rooted ferns 

 for table dishes. If you have any other plants 

 that would be nice for beds, you may send me 

 a nice collection of them also. 



I want to thank you for the nice collection of 

 plants you have sent me for the last two vears 

 Everyone says we have the prettiest collection of 

 flowers they ever saw for the monev, and no 

 doubt you have already received orders from 

 some of my friends who have asked me for vour 

 address. 



Please send me a nice collection by return 

 mail, as I want to get them started. 



Thanking you in advance. I remain. 



Your customer. 



The florist receiving the above order 

 states that he filled it in full' and put 

 in extra count, in order to recompense 

 the customer for her nerve. 



Various Notes. 



The store adjoining C. L. Baum's 

 caught fire on the night of May 30, and 

 practically everything was consumed. 

 The fire did considerable damage to 

 C. L. Baum's cut flower box stock-room, 

 in the fear of his store, but was put out 

 before it reached his salesroom, in the 

 front part of the store. However, the 

 stock was well insured, and will be 

 replaced in a short time with but little 

 loss. 



Miss Mary Attix, saleslady for Chas. 

 L. Baum, won first prize in a popularity 

 contest, which was run for twenty 

 weeks by a local drug store and ended 

 June 5. The prize is a round trip to 

 the Panama-Pacific exposition, including 

 all expenses, with several side trips. 

 Miss Attix will start on her trip early 

 in July. E. E. M. "
