BALTIMORE. 



Business Conditions. 



Business lias fallen off considerably 

 the past week, and is unusually quiet 

 for the season of the year. Very little 

 entertaining was done in the social 

 world, and in what few events did take 

 place the floral decorations were of a 

 minor character. 



Transient cut flower trade was espe- 

 cially poor. Summer weather has had 

 the effect of crowding the streets with 

 shoppers, yet the flower stores remain 

 comparatively deserted and were little 

 benefited. 



Several prominent tourists, in ex- 

 pressing their views to the writer, at- 

 tributed this sudden check to the "war 

 scare." Circumstantial evidence is 

 certainly pointing strongly towards 

 that theory, for it is always the florist 

 who is first affected by a depression. 



Stuff is plentiful and of good qual- 

 ity. Violets may be considered over, 

 though a few are still handled. Car- 

 nations are fine, and, as usual, greatly 

 in demand. Harrisii and longiflorums 

 are also about over, though a few rel- 

 ics of other Easter stuff are still to be 

 seen. Out-of-door blooming stuff is 

 plentiful. Valley is just coming in. 



Notes. 



Mr. Jno. Cook reports "an excep- 

 tionally good Easter trade; plants 

 were more in demand than cut flow- 

 ers: sold out entirely on azaleas and 

 could have disposed of many more." 



A fine carnation display was seen 

 this week in the windows of Messrs. 

 Halliday Bros. Many different varie- 

 ties were used in the decoration, and 

 each and every bloom was of the fin- 

 est, thus doing great credit to the 

 firm's established reputation as grow- 

 ers. C. F. F. 



OBITUARY. 



Reinhardt Wa.\tte. 



We regret to have to report the death 

 of Mr. R. Maitre at his home in New 

 Orleans, La., April 14, aged 68 years. 

 Death was due to general debility, fol- 

 lowing an illness of several months. 



Mr. Maitre was the oldest florist in 

 New Orleans, having been a leader in 

 the trade there for forty-three years. 

 In lS!ii; he partially retired, turning 

 over his city store to Mr. U. J. Virgin, 

 his nephew. Mr. Maitre was well 

 known to the trade through his fre- 

 quent attendance at the meetings of 

 the Society of American Florists, in 

 which organization he always took a 

 lively interest. He had many friends 

 in the trade, who will be grieved to 

 hear of his death.
