BALTIMORE. 



No change to report in phases of 

 market or condition of stock. A fine 

 rain one day last week, was followed 

 by pleasant weather, and now we are 

 threatened with another wave of the 

 torrid heat. Out-door plants are do- 

 ing poorly in most situations, and the 

 "truck" growers and cauners are com- 

 plaining of the scarcity of all varieties 

 of vegetables, which are unusually 

 high in price. 



Some growers are housing their 

 carnations. Messrs. Halliday Bros, 

 have already practically all their 

 houses planted. 



The Park Board is advertising for 

 proposals, which will be received up 

 to noon of the 15th instant, for 

 bulbs for the various parks and public 

 squares. Specifications may be had 

 by application to the secretary of the 

 commission, Mr. Charles R. Park- 

 hurst, The aggregate is quite large.

PHILADELPHIA. 



Every florist in the land will sym- 

 pathise deeply with Mr. and Mrs. 

 Edwin Lonsdale in the sad loss of two 

 daughters, just growing into bright 

 womanhood, Miss Jennie and Miss 

 Sarah Burton, who were drowned at 

 Ocean City, N. J., as reported in last 

 week's Review. 



The funeral services were held at 

 the home in Wyndmoor and also at 

 Grace Church, Mt. Airy, on Friday, 

 Aug, 3rd. The church was thronged 

 with friends who sincerely mourn 

 their loss. W. 



TARRYTOWN, N Y. 



The Tarrytown Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its monthly meeting July 

 26. C. P. Johnstone, William Hyland 

 and Albert Griswold were elected to 

 membership. Mr. Bosckard put up a 

 fine display of French gladiolus. 'Wil- 

 liam Scott read a paper on "Points to 

 Exhibitors," which was well received 

 and thoroughly discussed. 



The society was favored with a visit 

 from James W. Withers of New York,
