At tlie establishment of tlie Balti- 

 more Wholesale Florist & Supply Co. 

 some fine asters and Harrisii were to 

 be seen. H. Glick reported business 

 good in all stock for funeral work. 



At the Leo Xiessen Co. store I found 

 H. F. Ekas. He told me last week that 

 he would be off on his vacation, but tliis 

 was a case of where "the best laid 

 schemes o' mice an' men gang aft 

 aglcy, " for they were so busy, with a 

 bookkeeper in the hospital, that Mr. 

 McKissick found it necessary to recall 

 him. 



Busy times in the middle of August! 

 Yet some i)eoi)le have fears for the fu- 

 ture of the florists' business. In a 

 lifetime's connection with the florists' 

 business I liave never seen a summer 

 during which such a volume of business 

 lias been done by florists as this one. 

 Of course, I realize that there is a rea- 

 son for this, that tlicre has not been a 

 week this summer tliat two or three 

 prominent people did not die, and 

 added to this lias been the great number 

 of war weddings. Docs not this ex- 

 traordinary midsummer business dem- 

 onstrate clearly tliat flowers are being 

 used for these occasions despite tlie 

 war, and perhaps more profusely than 

 formerly? At every place tlie report 

 was the same: "We have a war wed- 

 ding for tliis week." 



Ill tliese turl)uleiit times it gives me 

 pleasure to report some greenhouse 

 building. P. C. Erdinan is erecting a 

 range of three houses, eacli 28x150, out 

 on Taylor avenue, and this range can 

 be depended ujion for some fine sweet 

 peas next winter. 



Kobert L. Graham left last week for 

 Niagara Falls, returning via New York 

 for the convention. He will spend tlie 

 remainder of August at Atlantic City. 

 His daughters, the Misses Margaret, 

 Jessie and Mabel, have returned from 

 a ten days' vacation^ at tlie seaside re- 

 sort. 



Baltimore's trade seems to have been 

 most fortunate regarding the 'draft. I 

 have not heard of a young man among 

 florists who has been taken. Otto H. 

 Guerth has an idea of what it is to work 

 for Uncle Sam during war times. Since 

 June 5 he has been secretary for the 

 exemjition board of the Fourth district, 

 which meets in his store at 733 West 

 Baltimore street.

The woman who buys flowers resrularly has 

 fastidious tastes — is repelled by usfliness and 

 attracted by beauty — and a refrigerated dis- 

 play is a most persuasive argument — TO BUY

Richard Vincent, Jr., of White 

 Marsh, had some new dahlias on exhibi- 

 tion at the club that made the boys sit 

 up and take notice. The perfection to 

 which this flower is now being grown is 

 marvelous. Mr. Vincent told me — in a 

 manner as if it were an everyday oc- 

 currence — that his company had a ship- 

 ment of geraniums for China that dav.
