business. Good bedding stock is scarce 

 this spring and those who are fortunate 

 enough to have it are reaping a rich 

 harvest. 



Many of the boys, owing to uncertain 

 conditions last fall, ran their ranges 

 short, while others did not continue 

 business. In a recent trip the writer 

 saw three ranges that were absolutely 

 empty. There is nothing more depress- 

 ing to an old florist than to see a range 

 of good houses that have lain idle all 

 winter. 



Owing to the scarcity and high prices 

 of bedding stock, the public is this year 

 turning to seeds and the seed houses 

 are on the job with large advertise- 

 ments in the daily press. Bolgiano & 

 Son, while they have always done much 

 advertising, are surpassing themselves 

 this spring. It is a common thing to 

 see a full-page advertisement of this 

 progressive firm. 



Some idea of the growth of the cut 

 flower end of the business can be had 

 from the fact that Baltimore now sup- 

 ports five commission houses. Not so 

 many years ago one was enough to take 

 care of all the trade of the city. This 

 was the old Florists' Exchange, which 

 was absorbed by the S. S. Pennock Co. 

 and is still located on the old site at 

 Franklin and St. Paul streets. J. J. 



Mention The Review when you write. 



Perry, who is in charge of this firm, has 

 devoted his entire business life to mak- 

 ing a success of this business and he 

 is justly proud of his efforts. 



The Leo Niessen Co., while it is not 

 such an old establishment, has made 

 great strides under the able manage- 

 ment of William McKissick and now 

 does its full share of business. 



James Towner is the manager of the 

 Baltimore Wholesale Florist & Supply 

 Co. Wholesale cut flowers are a com- 

 paratively new venture with Mr. Tow- 

 ner, but he is an experienced salesman 

 in the trade and since taking hold of 



this new enterprise has been making 

 good. 



The new Florists' Exchange has G, 

 J. Muhly for general manager. Mr. 

 Muhly is a young, aggressive business 

 man and he has surrounded himself with 

 a fine organization. Mr. Smyth, the 

 secretary and treasurer of the firm, is 

 a man of mature years, with rich busi- 

 ness experience. Tate.
