The Rorists' Review 



Mabch 30, 1916. 



BALTIMOBE. 



Tlid Market. 



Market conditions are good, and while 

 no large supply of stock is coming in all 

 that arrives is moved at fair prices. 

 There was quite a demand for white of 

 any kind, especially stock suitable for 

 funeral work. Roses are in fair supply, 

 with the demand taking nearly every- 

 thing in sight. The larger grades sold 

 rather under their value. White was 

 shy, but pink was plentiful. Carna- 

 tions still are insufficient to supply all 

 demands. In bulbous stock tulips have 

 shortened in supply and are not moving 

 any too well. Daffodils are fewer, but 

 their absence is not felt. The green 

 situation is uncertain, smilax being poor 

 and hard to secure, while asparagus is 

 of poorer quality, decreasing in quan- 

 tity and increasing in price. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held March 27. The attendance 

 left much to be desired. The main topics 

 were the National Flower Show and 

 Billy Sunday. The club decided to at- 

 tend the services of the evangelist in 

 a body and will have 300 seats reserved. 

 Robert L. Graham is in charge of ar- 

 rangements and will notify all mem- 

 bers of the time and the place to meet, 

 so that members may enter the hall in 

 a body. Arthur S. Richmond, Henry 

 Betz and W. H. Jennings were elected 

 to membership. 



The new members' buttons were on 

 hand and were distributed to those 

 present. 



Various Notes. 



A large party left Baltimore March 

 29 to attend the National Flower Show 

 at Philadelphia. There also were many 

 who visited the show later, being able 

 to go with the club. 



The Seidewitz Flower Shop reports 

 a busy week with funeral orders. Wil- 

 liam E. Seidewitz has started a kennel 

 and breeding farm for collie dogs at 

 Arlington. He won a number of blue 

 ribbons at the recent dog show. 



George S. Kalb, who has been con- 

 fined to his home for some weeks, is 

 able to be around again. 



Mrs. Charles H. Cook has been con- 

 fined to her home for three weeks with 

 a bad cold, which settled in her head 

 and affected her hearing. Under the 

 doctor's care she is steadily improving. 



Charles F, Feast and George Morri- 

 son were among those selected to act as 

 judges at the National Flower Show. 



Miss Bessie Whitehill has opened a 

 store on Bolton street, near North 

 avenue. 



John Nuth motored to the Philadel- 

 phia show. Members of his party were 

 James Glass, J. J. Perry and Edward 

 Kress. W. F. E.

DIRT BANDS 



Very soon every grower will be mak- 

 ing free use of dirt bands for the grow- 

 ing of all plants. Certainly, no florist 

 can afford to pass them by. They are 

 time and money savers, producing better 

 plants at less cost and with less labor. 

 It simply is a question of getting the 

 best band. 



Our new EEADY-USE dirt band tells 

 its own story. Send a postal for free 

 samples and see how it does it. It comes 

 to you ready to set the plant in, which 

 means saving of very valuable time re- 

 quired to fold the ordinary strips of 

 paper commonly offered for bands. 



We make plain bands, too, from high- 

 grade, hard finish stock. Samples will 

 be sent. Compare them with others and 

 put them to any test. It is not how 

 cheap, but how good, is our motto.
