The Florists' Review 



Max 6, 1016. 



BALTIMOBE. 



The Market. 



The production of flowers has reached 

 a stage where it is impossible to secure 

 buyers for a large proportion of the 

 stock which has flooded the wholesale 

 stores. This week the growers are send- 

 ing in enormous cuts and the retail 

 business has decreased until little other 

 than funeral work is being done. The 

 street fakers buy a good quantity at 

 their own prices, but even then there 

 is a large surplus. Carnations, roses, 

 lilies and, in fact, everything in sea- 

 son, go to make up the surplus. 



There were no special features of the 

 week's business, except the prices, 

 which were so low it would almost take 

 a magnifying glass to And them. A 

 number of those identified with the 

 trade have expressed their opinions as 

 to why the surplus is so large, but 

 nearly all advance a different explana- 

 tion. The fact remains that there is 

 a large surplus and anyone who can 

 offer a practical solution of the difficulty 

 will earn the gratitude of every florist 

 in these glorious United States. 



Various Notes. 



Bichard Vincent, Jr., delivered an il- 

 lustrated lecture before the Harford 

 County Garden Club, April 29. Mr. 

 Vincent leaves for New York at the 

 end of this week, to take up the work 

 of organizing a national dahlia society 

 in that city. The meeting for this pur- 

 pose will be held^May 10, at the Grand 

 hotel, Broadway and Thirty-first street, 

 at 2 p. m. This meeting was scheduled 

 for another hostelry, but, owing to its 

 change of ownership, the place of meet- 

 ing was changed to the Grand. 



The funeral of W. W. Burner, whose 

 death was recorded in the obituary col- 

 umn of The Review's last issue, was 

 held at his parents' residence, 2828 St. 

 Paul street, April 30, and was largely 

 attended. The floral tributes received 

 were handsome and unusually numerous, 

 attesting his great popularity. The 

 sympathy of the trade is extended to 

 his family in this, their saddest hour. 



Mr. and Mrs. James Glass motored 

 over to Philadelphia last week in their 

 new touring car and were well pleased 

 with the tnp. 



Mrs. A. E. Eberhart is seriously ill 

 with blood poisoning, at her home on 

 West Baltimore street, and there are 

 grave fears that she may not recover. 



The next club meeting will be held at 

 the club rooms, May 10. 



Stands at the flower market to be 

 held at Mount Vernon place. May 12, 

 are being rapidly taken up and anyone 

 wishing to occupy a stand would bet- 

 ter consult the Women's Civic League 

 as soon as possible. W. F. E.
