The Florists' Review 



JtlLY 20, 1816. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The middle of July finds us in the 

 grip of a hot wave, and, aside from a 

 little funeral work, there has been little 

 business. The market is well supplied 

 with all kinds of stock, although more 

 good asters could be used to advantage. 

 There are many of them too small. 

 Roses are poor and their sale slow. 

 While the few good carnations coming 

 in are sold, there are quantities for 

 which there is no demand even at low 

 figures. 



Southern-grown gladioli have filled 

 the market and lowered the price far 

 beyond the former figures, but even at 

 low prices many were left unsold at the 

 end of the week. Lilies have been in 

 fair demand, but valley has had few 

 calls. Quantities of outdoor peas, 

 phloxes and hydrangeas are coming in, 

 but they meet a small demand and a 

 large supply of greens moves slowly. 



Various Notes. 



B. G. Merritt has a fine lot of Mrs. 

 Bussell roses for next season, but he 

 has not entirely gotten rid of the rose 

 midge, which caused much damage for 

 him last season. 



George Morrison is rearranging his 

 heating system and putting new bars 

 and glass on each of his four green- 

 houses. 



John Symon has purchased the lower 

 section of greenhouses owned by J. E. 

 Bartell, on the York road, near Eadnor 

 avenue, and will run them in connection 

 with his store on Eastern avenue. Wal- 

 ter, a brother, formerly with Andrew 

 Anderson, will be in charge. 



Lehr Bros, have finished planting 

 their rose houses and have added Baby 

 Doll, Prima Donna and Hoosier Beauty 

 to their collection. 



The auto parade held in connection 

 ■with the Elks ' convention was of little 

 benefit to local florists, as only a few 

 cars were decorated with natural flow- 

 ers. W. (L. Simmers had three cars and 

 Edward Kress had one. Other than 

 these,, none have been reported. 



W. F. Gude, of Washington, D. C, 

 was in town in connection with the 

 Elks' convention. 



Lohr & Fritze have discarded Rich- 

 mond ahd in its place have planted 

 Hoosier Beauty and Hadley. 

 , C. E. Akehurst, instead of planting 

 y6vX his carnation plants, has construct- 

 ed a number of frames and grown his 

 entire planting stock in 4-inch pots. 

 The plants are in good shape and should 

 prove much easier to replant than field 

 stock. A number of seedlings are be- 

 ing grown. 



L. B. Glick, of the Leo Niessen Co., 

 is away on a two weeks' vacation. 



Stevenson Bros, have finished replant- 

 ing their rose houses and are trying out 

 Sunburst for the flrst time. A flne lot 

 of Mrs. George Shawyer has. been 

 planted. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. A., Seidewitz and 

 daughter, Adele, are attending the in- 

 ternational convention of Rotary clubs, 

 in session at Cincinnati, O. 



A. A. Niessen motored down from 

 Philadelphia last week, and, accom- 

 panied by W. E. McKissick, made the 

 rounds of some of the flrm's consignors. 



Charles Schmidt, of Harrisburg, Pa., 

 and C. A. Schaefer, of York, Pa., were 

 in town last week. W. F. E.
