The Florists' Review 



Mai 20, 1915. 



BAIiTIMOBE. 



The Market. 



Business has continued good since 

 last report; the supply has decreased 

 and prices have become firmer. While 

 the available supply has been ample for 

 all business, there has not been any 

 surplus. Some peonies are arriving and 

 are bought up on sight. The light 

 colored varieties are mostly from 

 farther south, only red coming in from 

 local growers, but by the end of this 

 week the local supply will be in full 

 crop. We have had quite a few show- 

 ers during the last two weeks, which 

 have helped their growth, so that the 

 crop will be in from ten days to two 

 weeks earlier than last year. 



The wholesale stores have been busy 

 and the retailers also. Although fu- 

 neral work forms the bulk of the busi- 

 ness, trade along all lines is good. The 

 bedding plant season is now at its 

 height and the growers who cater to 

 this class of trade are kept busy, as 

 their season of selling is not of great 

 duration. Up to the present they are 

 almost unanimous in saying business 

 is much better than last year. 



Various Notes. ' 



Mothers' day continues an interest- 

 ing topic among the local trade, reports 

 from all sides recording an increase 

 over last year's business. A. Fiedler 

 says his Mothers' day business was bet- 

 ter than his Easter sales. 



Richard Vincent, Jr., returned from 

 New York last week, well pleased with 

 the outcome of his efforts, which re- 

 sulted in the formation of the Amer- 

 ican Dahlia Society. 



The Flower Mart, held by the Wom- 

 an's Civic League each year, was post- 

 poned from May 12 to May 13, on ac- 

 count of rain. The number of local 

 florists having booths was considerably 

 smaller than last year, only George 

 Cook, John Cook, James Hamilton and 

 E. A. Seidewitz having stands. The 

 latter was awarded the prize for the 

 most artistic bo9th. 



liTrs. Margaret Eberhart died at her 

 home, 2875 West Baltimore street, May 

 12, from the effects of blood poisoning, 

 aged 39 years. Mrs. Eberhart had been 

 ill for only a few weeks. Besides her 

 husband, August E. Eberhart, she is 

 survived by one daughter, 15 years old, 

 and two sons, one 12 and the other 14 

 years of age. The funeral services 

 were held May 16, interment being at 

 Western cemetery. W. F. E.
