The Market. 



Business continues to hold up well, 

 although the prices are a little below 

 the standard for this season of the 

 year. Peonies are now arriving in 

 quantity and are selling well at from 

 $3 to $6 per hundred, with a good sup- 

 ply in sight. Beauties sold well last 

 week at fair prices. Sweet peas also 

 moved well. Roses are decreasing in 

 quantity and are poorer in quality, as 

 the extremely warm weather is showing 

 its effect on these. Aside from peonies, 

 the feature of the week was the arrival 

 of some good Spanish iris, for which 

 there was a good demand. A new crop 

 of dagger and fancy ferns also arrived, 

 but as plumosus and Sprengeri are now 

 to be had in quantity, the demand is 

 somewhat light. Asparagus is now 

 plentiful for the first time since last 

 fall. Plenty of Harrisii lilies can still 

 be had at low figures. Callas are about 

 over; only a few stragglers find their 

 way to the market. Taken as a whole, 

 business has been good for this, the off 

 season of the year, but prices have 

 been somewhat low. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular semimonthly meeting 

 of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club 

 was called to order May 25 by Vice- 

 president Hamilton. Owing to the warm 

 weather there was rather a small at- 

 tendance. Richard Vincent, Jr., of 

 White Marsh, spoke on the proposed 

 trip by water to Boston in August, to 

 attend the S. A. F. convention. A con- 

 siderable number of out-of-town flo- 

 rists have already reserved berths and, 

 as the boat capacity is limited, those 

 who wish to go by this route should 

 reserve their passage as soon as pos- 

 sible. The fare from this city is $15 

 one way and $25 round trip. This in- 

 cludes berth and meals. A one-day stop 

 in Norfolk, Va., is included. 



The members were reminded of the 

 annual summer meeting of the Mary- 

 land Horticultural Society, to be held at 

 College Park May 30, and a number are 

 expected to attend.

G. T. Holloway, of Waverly, had on 

 exhibition some good spikes of his new 

 double white snapdragon, which was 

 much admired . W. F. E. 



Fostoria, O. — A. C. Hoyt & Co. say 

 stocks of pedigree seed corn are running 

 short. 



South Bend, Ind. — Willis Kinyon was 

 fortunate in having a plentiful supply 

 of carnations for Mothers' day and he 

 has some good orders booked for Me- 

 morial day. The South Bend Floral Co. 

 is composed of two Kinyons, so that 

 there are three of a kind doing a suc- 

 cessful business in this busy town.
