Visitors. 



Samuel Murray, Kansas City, Mo., 

 was a visitor last week, looking for 

 Easter plants. 



J. J. Hess, Omaha, Neb., was a visitor 

 last week. Mr. Hess says that he has 

 80 much work that he absolutely doesn 't 

 want any more. 



Albert B. Barber, of Cleveland, was 

 in town early this week, looking up 

 Easter stock for the string of five stores 

 for which he does the buying. 



Thomas Cahill, of the Akron Flower 

 Shop, Akron, O., has been in the mar- 

 ket on Easter buying bent. 



The presence of the following visitors 

 was noted last week: E. D. Ludwick, 

 Columbus, Ohio; D. MacRorie, San 

 Francisco, Cal.; E. T. Mazey, Minne- 

 apolis, Minn. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Allied Bazaar. 



Business in some of the uptown stores 

 fell off quite a bit last week, but the 

 cause was not difficult to find. The Al- 

 lied Bazaar, held at the Armory, was 

 the Mecca for everyone who had the 

 money to spend. The flower booth did 

 a plionomeiial business. It was in charge 

 of Mrs. Thom, with a group of Balti- 

 more 's fairest society girls for as- 

 sistants. How they did sell flowers! 

 There was one thing that struck many 

 a poor business man, and that was what 

 poor accountants they were, for they 

 did not know how to make change, no 

 matter what the size of the note one 

 gave. When you consider that the re- 

 ceipts for the week at the bazaar were 

 over $100,000, you are not surprised 

 that business in the stores was some- 

 what affected. Yet many of the florists 

 were busy for the bazaar, for, as in all 

 charity sales, everything was donated. 

 So there were lots of flowers sold to 

 friends of those who had charge of the 

 flower booth, and donated. 



Another feature of this big fair was 

 the decorations. I have heard that the

Armory never looked better. This is 

 saying a great deal, for I have seen 

 some fine work done there. I. H. Moss 

 had his entire force on this work for 

 one day. But no one will complain of 

 the temporary check it might have put 

 on regular business, for it was all for 

 charity, and charity covers a multitude 

 of sins. 



The Murray Funeral. 



Everyone had all he could do with 

 funeral work at the end of the week. 

 The funeral of Oscar G. Murray was 

 held in the main parlor of the Stafford 

 hotel, where he had made his home 

 since coming to this city. I think I am 

 safe in saying that no more elaborate 



or greater profusion of flowers was ever 

 seen at a funeral. They were banked 

 in every possible space of this large 

 hotel parlor, and while the designs were 

 massive, coming from such sources as 

 the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, his 

 own road, the Baltimore & Ohio, and 

 many others of the large railroads of 

 the country, simplicity and taste were 

 displayed in every piece. 



The flowers at this funeral again 

 demonstrated that Baltimore has no 

 apologies to offer for those engaged in 

 the florists' business. Space will not 

 permit descriptions, but the only flowers 

 on the casket were in a bunch com- 

 posed of cycas leaves, Harrisii lilies, 

 lavender orchids and violets. Now, such
