The Florists^ Review 



March 26, 1914. 



KNOXVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



The heaviest snow storm that has vis- 

 ited this city for thirteen , years came 

 Thursday night, March 19, after two 

 weeks of bright, spring weather. The 

 heavy fall of snow alarmed the florists; 

 it was nine and one-half inches on the 

 ground, and was so wet and fell so 

 fast that it piled up to the depth of 

 eight' inches on the greenhouses. With 

 the exception of A. J. McNutt's vio- 



Jet house, however, no injury resulted. 



*?_ Business has been exceptionally good 

 "for Lent, and far ahead of last year. 

 All cut flowers except red and white 

 (tarnations have been in good supply. 

 Sweet peas of all kinds are plentiful 

 dnd of good quality. The supply of 

 orchids exceeds the demand. 



Various Notes. 



Forty sashes in Addison J. McNutt's 

 Violet house, 20x200, caved in under the 

 weight of the heavy fall of snow last 

 week. Mr. McNutt is cutting fine pink 

 snapdragons and Kaiserin roses, and re- 

 ports trade good and stock in full 

 supply. 



C. L. Baum is enjoying a fine busi- 

 ness and ships large quantities of stock 

 to neighboring towns. He will have a 

 fine stock of blooming plants for Eas- 

 ter, and will force 6,000 valley. He 

 says the pips are opening up finer than 

 ever this year. 



Funeral work and flowers for social 

 affairs have kept Mrs. Rosa Hall Ryno 

 busy. 



A. H. Dailey finds business good, but 

 stock short. He has a good deal of 

 landscape gardening work on hand, 

 and reports ornamental shrubbery in 

 heavy demand. 



Weather conditions have hampered 

 the Howell Nursery Co. in getting out 

 orders, which are numerous now. 



D. B. Mayo is busy night and day 

 getting out the seed orders for spring 

 planting. Flower seeds are in strong 

 demand. 



B. F. "Hensley, of Knightstown, Ind., 

 a former Knoxville man, was a visitor 

 here last week. He now owns an up-to- 

 date plant of 75,000 square feet of 

 glass in Knightstown. 



Other recent visitors include: W. C. 

 Lawrence, of the Lawrence Floral Co., 

 Atlanta, Ga.; Clem. Kamphaus, of the 

 Herrlinger Paper Co., Cincinnati; John 

 ^ubach, of Schloss Bros., New York, 

 .>jid Ross E. Adgate, of the McCallum 

 Co., Pittsburgh.

The President Points Out Some Cypress Points 



W I could take 

 you out to our 

 lumber piles and 

 throw down a few 

 boards ajjid point 

 out blue il^a^if) and 

 white sap in the 

 cypress, and then 

 s h ow you cypress 

 with the , shakes 

 and cypress that is 

 pecky, and then take you into our wood- 

 working mill and show you the kind of 

 cypress we were actually running 

 through the machines for our greed- 

 houses— you would then begin to ap- 

 preciate why a really good, enduring 

 house such as we make is worth every 

 cent we charge for it. You would be- 

 gin to get a line on the kind of mater- 

 ials we use and the careful way they 

 are handled. 



You would see us cutting out and 

 discarding sappy parts. You would 

 see our foreman refusing to pass rough 

 milled parts. You would see on every 

 hand inspections of materials from the 

 raw to their finished state. You would 

 finally begin to wonder how we can 

 build so good a house for so reasonable 

 a price. 



Put this down in 

 your memory box, 

 that entirely sap- 

 free "cypress" is 

 next to impossible; 

 to buy nowadays, 

 just as is knot free 

 or clear pine. The 

 only way you can 

 get sap-free paater- 

 ials is to get ma- 

 terials from cypress with tb«ir objec- 

 tionable sappy parts cut out. 



There's no greenhouse concern in 

 this country today that sells materials 

 whose cypress is any freer from sap 

 than ours. 



The other day I overheard our w^ood 

 working foreman saying I am a regu- 

 lar crank about the cypress that goes 

 into the materials. He has got the 

 right idea about me and I'll see to it 

 that he keeps his idea right. 



If you want a house built of ma- 

 terials made by men with the right 

 idea back of them— from one end of 

 the house to the other- we have a 

 notion you will find a talk with some 

 one of us to your advantage. Write 

 us. Or "we go anywhere for busi- 

 ness."
