he is enjoying iiis vacation at Old 

 Forge, in the Adirondacks. 



The downtown florists are supplying 

 the summer theaters with fir balsam 

 branches, which are put into the ven- 

 tilators of the playhouses and then the 

 fans waft sweet breezes of the balsam 

 woods through the audience. 



Edward Walthers is having a two 

 weeks' vacation. He is not taking an 

 extended trip, but is motoring and mak- 

 ing frequent trips to the beach. 



W. J. Palmer & Son are making a 

 specialty of summer corsage bouquets, 

 pleasing combinations of cornflowers 

 and roses, sweet peas and daisies, Ward 

 roses and yellow marguerites, etc. They 

 are also selling dainty little baskets and 

 jars filled with Cecile Brunner roses and 

 tied prettily with ribbon. These are 

 popular summer novelties. E. C.,A. 



BALTIMORE. 



Tbe Market. 



Business last week was poor. There 

 is still an overabundant supply of stock 

 and it is a perplexing problem how to 

 dispose of it. Gladioli are to be had 

 in unlimited quantities, with few buy- 

 ers at any figure. It is doubtful, judg- 

 ing from the present prices, whether 

 gladiolus growing is a profitable busi- 

 ness. Some fine ones, along with many 

 poor ones, are coining in, and while the 

 bulk of the best ones are taken, even 

 some of these find their way to the rub- 

 bish pile. Carnations of fairly good 

 quality are seen, but are practically ig- 

 nored. Asters are increasing in quan- 

 tity, but are still of only fair quality. 

 Roses, too, are only fair, and the large 

 supply makes prices low; the street 

 boys are selling twenty-five in a bunch 

 as low as 10 cents. Lilies are plentiful 

 and are moving slowly even at the low 

 prices. Peas are on the down grade, on 

 account of the hot weather, and are also 

 decreasing rapidly in quantity. 



Various Notes. 

 The second hail storm in three weeks 

 passed over this city July 13, and while 

 not as heavy as the previous one, it 

 inflicted heavy damage on all outdoor 

 crops. The florists suffered somewhat, 

 but many, even in the path of the 

 storm, were fortunate enough to escape 

 serious damage. E, Van Beuth and 

 Charles Hochstedt, at Hamilton, were
