some electrolier. Several large baskets 

 of flowers were arranged artistically 

 about the window. A messenger boy 

 bearing a valentine from the beau of 

 the young woman was shown approach- 

 ing the table. The scheme and setting 

 were good. 



In their window, W. J. Palmer & Son 

 had a heart covered with smilax filled 

 with corsages made of various flowers. 

 Sweet peas and pink feather fans scat- 

 tered here and there completed the 

 gfroundwork, while pink azaleas placed 

 on the columns gave an artistic finish 

 to the window. 



Eed is the valentine color without a 

 doubt, but S. A. Anderson used a touch 

 of purple to good advantage in a red 

 window last week. Purple thistles, made 

 of milkweed down on teasels, made a 

 stunning combination with pots of 

 white lilac. A kewpie, as a central 

 figure, held in his hands red and white 

 ribbons leading to red hearts upon 

 which were fastened corsages of violets, 

 valley, roses and combinations of vari- 

 ous flowers. Valentine baskets hung 

 from the sides and ceiling. E. C. A. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



St. Valentine's day trade was all 

 that could be desired. Though the re- 

 tail stores did not advertise collective- 

 ly, some of them ran individual ads in 

 the daily press and all did a good busi- 

 ness, both in cut flowers and plants. 

 The majority of stores put up attrac- 

 tive window decorations, which ho 

 doubt induced many prospective cus- 

 tomers to enter. There was a fair sup- 

 ply of nearly all varieties of cut flow- 

 ers. Roses were in good supply, but off 

 color, on account of the long period of 

 cloudy weather. Carnations were in 

 good demand; in fact, they were more 

 called for than roses; the supply was 

 inadequate. Violets were plentiful, es- 

 pecially doubles, with the demand 

 rather light. The singles were prac- 

 tically unsalable at any price; these 

 have had their day in this locality, as 

 the public generally prefers doubles. ' 



There was a good supply of novelties, 

 but no special demand. Plant trade 

 was good. Primulas, cyclamens, hya- 

 cinths, tulips and azaleas formed the 

 bulk of the supply and were in good 

 demand.
