The Florists' Review 



APRIL 6, 1916. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



Business during the first half of the 

 week was rather poor, but during the 

 latter half a heavy demand for stock 

 for funeral work created some activity 

 in the wholesale market and prevented 

 a surplus of stock. The warm, clear 

 weather of the last few days has opened 

 stock hurriedly and the supply, in gen- 

 eral, has increased. The crop of carna- 

 tions has improved wonderfully and 

 they have been plentiful for the first 

 time this season, but at the close of 

 business on Saturday the wholesale 

 stores had little of anything left for 

 sale. Roses also are coming in more 

 heavily, but, though pink and some 

 other colors have been plentiful enough, 

 more white could have been sold. 

 Lilies were in good supply and sold 

 well. There was an extra demand for 

 cattleyas and valley and both were 

 hard to get. Sweet peas are arriving 

 in unlimited quantities and the prices 

 have fallen; many were sold to the 

 street fakers. Daffodils are shy and 

 meet with a good demand. Greens are 

 becoming scarcer and the prices are 

 all out of proportion to either quality 

 or quantity, 



Lexington Market was fairly abloom 

 on Saturday, April 1, as the warm, 

 springlike weather brought in many 

 'growers who do not attend during the 

 winter. Business was good and a fine 

 collection of pot plants was to be 

 found. This open flower market is a 

 feature of the city and no city of like 

 size has anything like it. On Easter 

 Saturday it is a Mecca for all who live 

 here, not only those who wish to buy 

 but many thousands who are merely 

 sight-seers. 



Various Notes. 



John Cook was exceptionally busy 

 with funeral orders for a prominent so- 

 ciety lady who died last week. Many 

 handsome designs were sent out and it 

 was necessary to work both night and 

 day to get the work out on time. 



John P. Wilheim had an extraordi- 

 narily large lot of bulbous stock this 

 season, all of which he handled to good 

 advantage. 



Jos. S. Merritt and Miss Helen V. 

 Lynch were married at Colgate, Md., 

 March 29. Mr. Merritt is one of the 

 rising young florists of this section and 

 is well known as a carnation grower. 

 After the ceremony the couple motored 

 over to Philadelphia and spent a few 

 days at the show; then they left for a 

 stay at Atlantic City. On their return 

 they will reside at Colgate. 



Visitors this week: Daniel Weber, 

 of Oakland, Md.; George Hermann, of 

 New York. 



Baltimore was well represented at 

 the Philadelphia show. Over fifty visi- 

 tors from this city attended. The ma- 

 jority have returned and all speak 

 highly of the show and of those who 

 promoted it. W. F. E.

 they wither and die and you are blamed

 the fragrance of the flowers. Just the material

 You can sell several cans of Odorleas VertUo 

 to each customer who buys potted plants and 

 several bags to those with gardens. Make them

 enthusiasts.
