BALTIMORE NOTES. 



[Continued from page 104.] 

 "The finest I have ever seen" was 

 the way every member expressed him- 

 self on a vase of seedling delphiniums 

 exhibited by Fred Bauer. These were 

 all semi-double. Mr. Bauer has made a 

 hobby of perfecting them. President 



E. A. Vincent appointed a new set of 

 judges to pass on all exhibits; they are 

 C. M. Wagner, W. J. Johnston and W. 



F. Ekas. The first work of the new 

 judges was to award to Mr. Bauer a 

 cultural certificate of merit for his 

 delphiniums. 



A visitor to the club was t). T. Con- 

 nor, of the Lord & Burnam Co. Mr. 

 Connor addressed the meeting and was 

 most optimistic in his remarks on the 

 future of the florists' business. 



Various Notes. 



One of the oldest retail florists' busi- 

 nesses in this city is about to pass from 

 the present owner into other hands. 

 Years ago the father of the present 

 owner, Edward Kress, started a modest 

 little establishment at the Baltimore 

 cemetery gate. The trade outgrew the 

 location; so a tract of land was secured, 

 and a range of houses erected, while the 

 original location was retained for a re- 

 tail establishment. Mr. Kress feels 

 that he has worked long enough, and is 

 going to retire and take life easy. 



Robert Johnston, son of Mrs. Mary 

 Johnston, has finally been discharged 

 from the army and is now back at his 

 old job. Eob^rt felt that a vacation 

 was coming to hun, but decided to put 

 it off until the family go to their New 

 York home, about July 1. It is whis- 

 pered that Robert will bring a bride 

 home with him. Tate. 



BEST AND EASIEST ORCHIDS. 



What are the three best and easiest 

 varieties of orchids "l^o^growf 



F. C. B.— Fla. 



This is not an easy question to an- 

 swer. Undoubtedly, cypripediums are 

 of the easiest culture and C. insigne 

 might well be one of your trio. Com- 

 mercially, however, you want other va- 

 rieties and I would suggest Dendrobium 

 nobile and Cattleya Triante. The cat- 

 tleyas are the leading commercial or- 

 chids and, if you choose to restrict your- 

 self to this genus, I would cut out the 

 cypripediums and dendrobiums and 

 substitute Cattleya labiata, a fall 

 bloomer, and C. Mossiae, a late spring 

 variety. C. W.

Here is what John Schmidt, of No. 

 78 Dry Harbor Road, Olendale, L, I., 

 New York, writes: 



"I had considerable loss on seed 

 sown, which would not germin- 

 ate on account of the dry weath- 

 er, which is no problem at all 

 any more since we have had our 

 Skinner System."
