The Weekly Florists' Review. 



AUGUST 23, 1900. 



BALTIMORE. 



Trade and Personal Notes. 



The summer trade has kept up un- 

 usually well this year, notwithstand- 

 ing the prolonged "spells" of intense 

 heat, rather, it may possibly be said, 

 in consequence of them, for the de- 

 mand is limited in the main to funeral 

 requirements, the result of deaths at- 

 tributable in more or less degree to 

 the unusually hot weather. Nor has 

 the supply of material languished; 

 sometimes it is not of the best order, 

 but the quantity has kept up to the 

 demand. Asters have been abundant 

 but small. Today, however, some fine 

 flowers came in from Mr. Lotz and Mr, 

 It'rederick Bauer. 



The pink and white Maman Cochet 

 roses from out of doors are fine now, 

 and the latter has lost its excessive 

 development of pink petals com- 

 plained of early in the season, and is 

 in great favor on account of standing 

 up so well, surpassing in this excel- 

 lence the white roses grown under 

 glass. 



The delegation of Baltimore garden- 

 ers to the New York convention left 

 today (August 20), and though hardly 

 as numerous as was expected, doubt- 

 less will give a good account of itself. 

 It is a matter of felicitation that the 

 community at last shows some inter- 

 est in the national society and its op- 

 operations. 



There is considerable building going 

 on in the trade. Messrs. S. Feast & 

 Sons are putting up one new house; Mr. 

 Isaac Moss two, 28x200 and 20x200 

 feet for carnations and smilax. 

 Wm. Kier, Pikesville, one about 18x 

 100 feet. 



The award of the contract for sup- 

 plying bulbs, etc., for the parks and 

 public squares was divided between 

 Edwin A. Seidewitz and Frederick 

 Burger, the total amount being $1,800. 



Mr. Harry Ekas has gone into busi- 

 ness at the place formerly owned by 

 his late brother, William Ekas, on the 

 Frederick road, and in his new loca- 

 tion will have the best wishes of his 

 many friends for success. Indeed, Mr. 

 Ekas stands so far up in the front 

 rank of the profession for intelligence, 

 skill and energy that, wherever placed, 

 there cannot be much doubt of his do- 

 ing well. 



Mrs. Schuler, on Saratoga street, 

 who has conducted a fine and profita- 

 ble florist's business, has again en- 

 tered the matrimonial estate and be- 

 come Mrs. Thomas. Her son. Mr. 

 Hans Schuler, has distinguished him- 

 self as a sculptor in Paris and gives 

 promise of a bright career. RIX. 



YOUNGSTOWN, O.— Mr. E. Hip- 

 pard has sold his greenhouse business 

 to John Walker, Philadelphia, for 

 many years with Robt. Craig, and 

 Mr. Walker will take charge Sept. 1. 

 Mr. Hippard will now devote his full 

 time and attention to his business in 

 ventilating apparatus.
