BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



Business conditions last week were an 

 improvement over those of the week 

 previous. Cloudy weather shortened 

 the supply and many school commence- 

 ments created a good demand for stock. 

 Prices, owing to the increased demand, 

 have advanced a little and everything 

 is more satisfactory. 



There were quantities of cold storage 

 peonies offered and, while many were 

 sold, many were to be had at the close 

 of the Saturday's business. Boses, on 

 account of replantings, decreased in 

 supply. Long-stemmed stock moved 

 well and even shorts sold better than 

 usual. Sweet peas generally sold well, 

 but lavender was hard to move. Lilies 

 are moving well. Some (Lilium candi- 

 dum blooms are coming from outdoors, 

 but they are being sold cheaply. The 

 first outdoor phloxes were in the mar- 

 ket last week. Carnations are coming 

 in satisfactorily, which is attributed to 

 the cool weather that has prevailed. 

 They have been selling well. Eambler 

 rose sprays have been in good demand, 

 but the local supply is somewhat lim- 

 ited as yet. 



Various Notes. 



Edwin A. Seidewitz, monarch of the 

 local lodge, is attending the convention 

 of the Mystic Order Veiled Prophets of 

 the Enchanted Eealm, which is being 

 held in Detroit, Mich. 



The excessive rainfall of last week 

 put almost a complete stop to out- 

 door planting, many places being cov- 

 ered with water at times. The K. Vin- 

 cent, Jr., & Sons Co. reports some dam- 

 age to its White Marsh dahlia farm. 

 The plants were beaten down by the 

 rain and in some instances whole rows 

 of plants were washed out. The com- 

 pany reports a good spring trade. 



George M. Cook has discontinued at- 

 tending the markets, having cleared 

 his entire stock of bedding plants. 



Patrick Doyle, of Westminster, Md., 

 and I. Edsnosky, of Philadelphia, were 

 in 'town last week. W. F. E. 



Lancaster, Pa. — A bench of pure 

 white begonias is a sight that attracts 

 many visitors to the establishment of 

 J. P. Siebold. It is presumed to be a 

 sport of B. magnifica and appeared two 

 years ago. So much praise has been 

 given the variety that Mr. Siebold plans 

 to put it on the market in a short time. 

 Mr. Siebold for many years has taken 

 special interest in begonias and the 

 bench of the new white has been Mrs. 

 Siebold 's special pride, her care of it 

 being no less solicitous than that of 

 her husband.
