BALTIMORE. 



In the past week we bare had a variety 

 of weather, beginniug with a day or two 

 of hot southerly winds which dried things 

 uo like a siroceo, then a sudden and great 

 drop in temperature, with frosts in many 

 localities on Saturday, and the mercury 

 this morning (May 1"2) at 42 degrees. 

 Tender stuff in low places was touched 

 and some will have to be replanted. There 

 has been no rain for a week, and the sur- 

 face soil is getting dry. 



Through the early part of last week 

 trade was verj' dull, but it brisked up 

 toward the end, and Saturday was a par- 

 ticularly good day, this being due to fu- 

 neral orders mainly and to the require- 

 ments of some affairs at one of the large 

 schools. 



Stuff is plentiful, and the price of 

 roses has come down as the demand less- 

 ens. Carnations keep up in bulk and the 

 demand is good, though some are running 

 wild, the failure to disbud being evident. 

 Valley has practically disappeared. Ecd 

 and tree pteonias are coming in, ami 

 sweet peas are in demand with the sup- 

 ply about equal. Good American Beau- 

 ties are still in evidence, and from the 

 mountains Mr. Weber is sending down 

 some fine Harrisii lilies-. 



There are a good many entertainments 

 and functions which call for flowers, and 

 this, with funereal necessities, keeps a 

 fair quantity of business distributee!. 

 Soon the college and school commence- 

 ments will be the order of the (Jay, then 

 the June weddings, and very quickly mid- 

 summer dullness! 



It is a matter of regret to report that 

 in this community within the past two or 

 three months several florists places, 

 not of the largest extent, but some of 

 them established for many years, have 

 succumbed to ill-fortune and disappeared 

 from the scene of active operations.
