The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



MARCH 17, 



BALTIMORE. 



Resume of Business. 



Much to the surprise und delight 

 of all concerned, flowers so far this 

 season have escaped the usual Lenten 

 denial list, and are as much in demand 

 as ever. Small social affairs, which 

 are seldom counted upon, have heen 

 very numerous, and entertaining in 

 general has received little material 

 check since the religious season began. 



The time has now arrived that the 

 florist cannot afford to allow even the 

 smallest holiday or anniversary to 

 pass by unnoticed. The public is 

 learning to look for a change of win- 

 dow aud a display appropriate to the 

 occasion. St. Patrick's day, which is 

 our next date of importance, will he 

 celebrated by the Baltimoreaus on the 

 17th inst. On that feast the retailers 

 have quite a demand for shamrock, 

 of which this season very little is to 

 be seen. Judging from the scarce sup- 

 ply, one would think our growers were 

 all Frenchmen. Any one, however, 

 will tell you differently. 



Stock Prices. 



The excessive warm spell which we 

 have experienced the past week has 

 produced stuff in abundance, and if 

 this unseasonable weather continues 

 there will be a regular glut. 



The supply of violets far exceeds an 

 unusually good demand. Several re- 

 tailers are now selling at 7.5 cents per 

 hundred. Last Thursday was "bar- 

 gain day" for a Lexington street flor- 

 ist, when the price was 50 cents, 



Mr, Samuel S. Pennock, of Phila- 

 delphia, was again in town for a few 

 days, C. F. F.
