The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



BALTIMORE. 



Trad* and Petsonal Notes. 



Trade is excecdinj^'ly languid, the de- 

 mand being limited to funeral purvoses 

 mainly. Flowers are abundant of a cer- 

 tain grade — the earlier asters, carnations 

 and oiitdoor roses. The quality of the 

 latter is far below other previous sea- 

 sons, especially of the Cochets— white 

 and pink. This do\ibtless is due to pecu- 

 liarities of the season. We have had for 

 the past ten days high temperatures, 

 with great humidity and several heavy 

 rains, one downpour exceeding two and 

 one-half inches in about as many hours. 

 Today (August 12) we had another 

 copious vain. The nights are delightful, 

 a peculiarity here of August weather, 

 their refreshing coolness making amends 

 for the exasperating torrid heat of the 



The Baltimore contingent is back trom 

 the Buffalo meeting, all evidently full of 

 enthusiasm (and other things). One 

 pilgiim, like John Gilpin, of frugal mind, 

 boasts that he accomplished the trip on 

 forty-five cents less than twenty-five dol- 

 lars. Another expresses himself as 

 charmed with the beauties and grandeurs 

 of nature and art which the journey re- 

 vealed, Niagara quite meeting his expec- 

 tations, and his only kick being at the 

 bad faith he encountered in the Midway, 

 where not as much was shown him as he 

 was induced by the concessionaires to be- 

 lieve he would see. 



Considerable building is going on in 

 this vicinity. W. P. Craig, Govanstown, 

 is building two rose houses; Edw. A. 

 Seidewitz, a violet house; Kichard Vin- 

 cent, Jr., & Son, two extensive houses; 

 Andrew Anderson, a rose house. 



The greenhouse plant of Massey & Bro. 

 has been sold to John Bartels, formerly 

 of Colorado, the announced price being 

 about .$9,000, on a fee simple basis. 

 There are five greenhouses with 6,000 or 

 8,000 feet of glass and two dwellings. 

 Colin Campbell will have charge as man- 

 ager. ^^ 



THE GARLAND GUTTER. 



The John C. Moninger Co., Chicago, 

 say that out of 18,000 running feet of 

 greenhouses they have supplied material 

 for to Illinois florists during the last 

 seven months, no less than 12,750 run- 

 ning feet have been erected with the Gar- 

 land iron gutter. 



West Rosr.URY, Mass. — E. K. Lowe is 

 building another violet Iftuse, 20x100, 

 which makes the sixth house all in vio- 

 lets. 



Grand Rapids, Mich.— Eli Cross has 

 added two violet houses 11x200.
