Trade Conditions. 



The phases and conditions of weather 

 are so closely connected with the operat- 

 tions carried on by those to whose inter- 

 est this journal is devoted that naturally 

 the subject comes foremost in any dis- 

 cussions of gardening operations and 

 trade prospects. In this section we have 

 had ample rains, and the crops out-doors 

 show the effects ; but the weather is again 

 cool, almost phenomenally so. 



Last week, numerous commencements 

 and weddings notwithstanding, trade was 

 only ordinarily fair for the season. Good 

 stuff was in demand, and like the pro- 

 verbial hen's teeth very scarce. To-day 

 (June 23) good roses are sought for. 

 Carnations are fast running out, though 

 a few good ones arrive, our friends on 

 the mountain tops contributing quite a 

 lioeral proportion of those so graded. 



Sweet peas were injured by the dry 

 weather, but are now coming in better 

 sha])e. Cochet roses, pink and white, are 

 abundant outside, making now longer 

 stems, and dahlias and phlox are in 

 evidence. 



A Notable Decoration. 



A wedding notable for the handsome 

 and tasteful decorations supplied by 

 Wm. J. Halliday took place Saturday at 

 Mt. Washington, one of our residential 

 suburbs, the bride being a daughter of 

 General Thomas J. Shryock, late state 

 treasurer, and Grand Master of the 

 Grand Lodge of Masons of Maryland, 

 and the groom Mr, J. M. Price. 



The house is one such as rarely falls 

 into the hands of the decorator, giving 

 unusual opportunities for effective com- 

 position. On the exterior, columns the 

 whole height of the structure support the 

 pediment of the gable, and those were 

 entwined with heavy garlands of green 

 and white flowers. The house is a square 

 one, built round a central hall open to 

 the roof and nearly 40 feet high, with 

 a gallery around the second floor. The 

 front doors were closed, access to the 

 hall, whei'e the ceremony was held being 

 through the side rooms opening on to 

 spacious verandas, and a temporary 

 altar decked with a profusion of wtute 

 flowers was raised at the usual entrance 

 and facing a generous stairway, down 

 which came the wedding party. In the 

 center hanging clear from the roof was 

 a marriage bell made of white peonies 

 and asparagus, whilst the balustrades of 

 the gallery and of the steps were pro- 

 fusely covered with Harrisii lilies, Bride 

 roses and smilax, palms of noble stature 

 and graceful ferns being disposed to 

 give effect to the scene. 



The bride's bouquet was of valley, 

 white orchids and maidenhair ferns; 

 the bridesmaids carried large bunches of 

 adiantums, and the flower girl a bas- 

 ket of valley and ferns. About 600 

 guests were present, many of whom were 

 enthusiastic in admiration of the floral 

 embellishments. E.
