BAIiTIMOBE. 



The Market. 



The midsummer dull season set in 

 last week in earnest and market condi- 

 tions were draggy. There is still a most 

 abundant supply of stock, of only me- 

 dium quality. It is only to be moved 

 with eflfort, and with low prices as an 

 added inducement. The variety of stock 

 is limited, but ample enough for all 

 demands. Boses are overplentiful and 

 cheap, but there are none of first-class 

 quality. Carnations are practically 

 overj the few that find their way in 

 are poor. Peas are of medium quality 

 and plentiful, but are slow movers. 

 Gladioli, both local and southern stock, 

 are to be seen in large quantities, but 

 are not finding a ready sale. Asters 

 are coming in a little more heavily, but 

 are still of poor quality; the later crop 

 promises to be abundant and of good 

 quality. 



Club Meeting. 



About sixty members of the Gar- 

 deners '\;6nd Florists' Club in automo- 

 biles made a tour of the city parks and 

 surrounding territory July 12. The 

 start was made from Wyman's park, 

 headed by the city park board and 

 Supt. Manning, and the tour ended in 

 Clifton park, where President Hamilton 

 complimented the city officials on the 

 neat and well kept condition of the 

 parks. Geo. W. Williams, president of 

 the park board, responded and Supt. 

 Manning, E. Vincent, Jr., and others 

 made some remarks on the subject. 



A little later the majority of the 

 members attended the meeting of the 

 club in its rooms. Prof. Symonds spoke 

 of the enjoyable afternoon and offered 

 a resolution of thanks to the park board 

 and city officials for the courtesies 

 shown, and commending their work. 

 It was adopted. He also spoke of the 

 summer meeting of the Maryland Horti- 

 cultural Society, to be held at Pen Mar 

 July 29 and 30, and urged all who can 

 to attend. The entertainment com- 

 mittee reported that the annual outing 

 of the club wilL be held at Miller's 

 park, August 11. Treasurer Burger read 

 the quarterly statement and showed 

 a good balance in the bank. The com- 

 mittee in charge of the fall show, con- 

 sisting of Messrs. Feast, Graham, 

 Boone, Moss, Halliday and Morrison, 

 were reappointed, after which the ques- 

 tion box was taken up. -:- 'ix
