While it was ex- pected to be unusually good, none of the florists dreamed of having such a large increase in the number and size of sales. It is evident that the florists' business is growing in Knoxville and vicinity, and an allowance is made for a reasonable increase each year, but no one expected to have a fifty per cent increase over last year. The increase can be attributed both to a larger num- ber of customers and an advance in prices. Easter lilies were unusually scarce.
