The Weekly Florists' Review. 



BALTIMORE. 



Hail. 



We have had a week of phenomenally 

 cool weather, and on one day a hail 

 storm of unusual violence. Fortunately 

 the latter was limited in its extent and 

 we hear of no great damage done. C. 

 Hess, Edw. Kress and Win. Christie losi 

 some glass, the first named being pro- 

 tected by insurance, and a great many 

 sweet peas were destroyed, with some 

 other outdoor stock. 



The Market. 



Trade the past, week was not over- 

 active in the fore part, considerable 

 more stock accumulating than the de- 

 mand required, but toward the end calls 

 were more pressing and most of the ma- 

 terial in sight was worked oil' at figures 

 which are on the declining grade. I'liJs 

 week will about conclude the commence- 

 ment; season, and from now on for some 

 month's to come a very much less volume 

 of business may naturally be expected. 

 A good many houses are being emptied 

 and planting out is in order. Doubtless 

 the demand and supply will quickly ad- 

 just themselves to the situation. Some 

 fine white Cochet roses grown under 

 glass are now in evidence, but. the char- 

 acter of almost, all other stock is declin- 

 ing. 



Death of W. H. Perat. 

 It will not. be out of place to record 

 here the death of one who. though not a 

 gardener or florist in the general ac- 

 ceptance of these terms, ye1 was both in 

 reality— Win. H. Perat. This gentleman 

 was for many years president of the 

 Maryland Horticultural Society, and by 

 his intelligent, interest in the cultivation 

 of plants and the production of llowers 

 probably did more than any other sin- 

 gle citizen to develop a taste for this 

 branch of gardening. He was a mer- 

 chant, doing a large business, and with 

 a great fondness for horticultural pur- 

 suits, which he followed with a knowl- 

 edge at once practical and unusual. He 

 was not content, as other men of wealth 

 generally are, to erect a range of glass, 

 employ a gardener and enjoy the prod- 

 ucts. On his beautiful estate, which 

 was a model of neatness, and on which 

 could be found the best kept lawn- and 

 the rarest and finest specimens of all 

 kinds of ornamental trees, he built mod- 

 ern houses in which was one of the 

 earliest and most complete collections of 

 plants ever gathered in this locality. He 

 was acquainted with all of them, knew 

 the treatment they required, and was 

 able with his own hands to attend to the 

 details of their cultivation, which lie 

 took great pleasure in doing. His col- 

 lection of orchids was one of the most 

 valuable ever gathered in Maryland. Mr. 

 Perat's fondness for gardening was con 

 tagious and influenced many of his 

 friends to follow his example. He was 

 a man of the highest character, of unim- 

 peachable mercantile honor and greath 

 respected in the community. B.

 no rights or lefts, will hold the glass In place, 

 and do not rust away like all others I have 

 used. Tour Zlne Points are easy to take ont 

 when making repairs. I have used about 100 

 lbs. of your Zinc Points in the last two yean, 

 and I am perfectly satisfied with them. 



Yours truly, F. P.I'RKI.

 ence with glazing points of all kinds. I can say
