Tlie Market. 



The market last week in cut flowers 

 was decidedly quiet. The public is still 

 "Saying It with Flowers," but at the 

 present time it is devoting its entire at- 

 tention to plants. The main idea is to 

 beautify the home, so that for the pres- 

 ent the cut flower grower must stand by 

 and see the plantsman have his inning. 

 And a hot inning it is this season; 

 owing to the cool weather being late, it 

 will necessarily be short. Ordinarily 

 the plant season would be well over by 

 this time. It is June and none of the 

 park bedding is done and this is a guide 

 for many people. It will mean at least 

 a month 's work crowded into about two 

 weeks, but from all I can learn the 

 supply of bedding plants will not hold 

 out for a month at the rate they are 

 now going. 



There are plenty of cut flowers of 

 every kind to be had. Those growers 

 who have nurseries attached to their 

 establishments are doing a considerable 

 business in shrubbery; there is more of 

 this class of cut stock being used this 

 season than usual. 



This was written May 28 and al- 

 though Memorial day was so near, there 

 were no local peonies, but large ship- 

 ments were received from Virginia. 

 While Memorial day has never been a 

 big flower day in Baltimore, conditions 

 have changed and while the G. A. R. 

 formerly did all the decorating of 

 graves with flowers that were donated, 

 there are now the Spanish-American and 

 the world war veterans. The advertis- 

 ing committee made a special drive on 

 this, the results of which will be report- 

 ed next week. 



About the only green goods on the 

 market are those which come from Flor- 

 ida. A shipment of plumosus opened re- 

 cently was as fine as the local stock. 

 Sprengeri, unless it is young stock, falls, 

 but everyone seems glad to get it even 

 if it is not so good. Eoses and carna- 

 tions are holding up well and the usual 

 miscellaneous stock at this season can 

 be had in any quantity desired. 



Advertising. 



The campaign is being pushed without 

 any let-up and the results are being re- 

 corded from all over the city. Last 

 week a most appropriate Memorial day 

 cut was featured on the second page of 

 the Sun May 25. When you turned to 

 this page of the paper, the advertise- 

 ment of the Associated Florists was the 

 first thing that caught the eye. Joseph 

 Merritt says that he has several sur- 

 prises. He is so full of advertising that 

 there is danger of the florists' business 

 losing him: he is becoming an expert at
