BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The annual spring glut held off much 

 longer th9.n usual, but it has arrived at 

 last. March 7 a snow storm arrived and 

 crippled Saturday's business; otherwise, 

 the street fakers would have used the 

 surplus stock that accumulated during 

 the week. Boses are plentiful and even 

 the best grades are selling at low prices. 

 Carnations are overplentiful and prices 

 have receded considerably. Southern 

 daffodils are arriving heavily and the 

 many Emperors interfere with the sale 

 of greenhouse stock, especially when 

 they can be had as low as 15 cents per 

 twenty-five. Asparagus is out of sight, 

 both in price and supply. Smilax re- 

 mains scarce. 



Club Meeting. 



At the regular club meeting, held April 

 10, Thomas Stevenson gave an interest- 

 ing talk on roses, and if the vases of 

 Killarney Brilliant and "White Killarney 

 shown by Mr. Stevenson were an ex- 

 ample of his production he is well quali- 

 fied to speak on the subject. They surely 

 were prize-winning stock. 



George Morrison was appointed chair- 

 man of a committee to make arrange- 

 ments for the fall show to be held in 

 connection with the Maryland week ex- 

 hibition in the Fifth Regiment Armory. 

 Louis P. Eyer was appointed by the 

 president as club florist for the ensuing 

 year. Thomas R. Ross, of Sudbrook 

 Park, was proposed for membership. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Lehr, who has been ill during 

 the best part of the winter, is gradually 

 improving, though he still is in the hos- 

 pital. 



Harrison's Nurseries, of Berlin, Md., 

 made free distribution at their branch 

 store at 507 North Howard street of 

 15,000 fruit trees to the school children 

 of the city Arbor day. 



Henry Seidlich, of Catonsville, has 

 purchased a delivery truck, and B. Stoll, 

 of Brooklyn, has a new pleasure car. 



James Hamilton will hold his annual 

 display of Easter plants to the public 

 April 16. 



Erdman & Ulrich have a fine lot of 

 Easter stock that will come on in good 

 time. 



Samuel Feast & Sons have a batch of 

 good rambler roses in pots for Easter 

 sales. ^W. F. E. 



Gloucester, Va. — Clay Drewry, of 

 Baise Farm, has returned to his first 

 love, the greenhouse business. 



Alton, m. — O. A. Anderson has ac- 

 cepted a position with the Alton Floral 

 Co. and will have charge of the 'work 

 at North Alton.
