The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



MAY 5, 1S9S. 



BALTIMORE. 



Trade Conditions. 



Trade has shown very little im- 

 provement over last week's chaotic 

 condition and is still extremely quiet. 

 In one short week the elements gave 

 us samples of winter, spring and sum- 

 mer weather. Of these changes, how- 

 ever, the latter was the only one ap- 

 preciated by the florists, as rain, hail 

 and snow^ offered little encouragement 

 to transient trade. 



A few of the retailers were kept 

 quite busy over several large wedding 

 orders which had been previously 

 booked, but barring these there was 

 little else of note. 



Roses are very plentiful, far beyond 

 the demand, ^^arnations are not over 

 abundant; as they seem to be the most 

 popular flower, there is no trouble to 

 sell out. Heavy shipments of Harrisii 

 are arriving from Oakland, Md., our 

 local supply being over. Sweet peas 

 are in, but do not sell in the colors. 

 White sweet peas for weddings have 

 been the rage. 



Bedding plants at the markets are 

 not selling well on account of the in- 

 clement weather. At this season of 

 the year the stall holders do a large 

 business in that class of stuff and con- 

 sequently are carrying very little otlier 

 stock. 



Notes. 



At the last meeting of the Gardeners' 

 club Mr. Paul Binder, our financial sec- 

 retary, was prevailed upon by a unani- 

 mous vote to reconsider and witlidraw 

 his resignation. 



Mr. Fred. Bauer, of Govanstown, 

 Md., read a paper upon the utilization 

 of greenhouse space. He gave in de- 

 tail his ideas of how a commercial 

 place carrying a miscellaneous stock 

 should be conducted, which, on the 

 whole, proved very interesting and in- 

 structive. 



Visitors. 



Mr. Wm. Scott and Mr. C. F. Chris- 

 tenson, of Buffalo, were with us a few 

 days this week. The writer regrets 

 very much not to have been in when 

 these gentlemen called, but a severe 

 cold prevented his attendance to busi- 

 ness the entire day. Mr. Alexander 

 Scott (who is a brother of our well- 

 known visitor) had these gentlemen in 

 tow, and they were consequently in 

 good hands. 



Mr. J. .1. Styer, of Concordville. Pa., 

 was another visitor, Mr. Styer is quite 

 a large grower of carnations.
