BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The cool weather last week did not 

 serve to increase business to any 

 marked extent, but reduced the supply 

 of stock and the sacrifice prices which 

 had been prevailing for some time were 

 conspicuous by their absence. The fea- 

 ture of the week's business was the 

 scarcity of white flowers of all kinds, 

 especially roses. Lilies, white carna- 

 tions and dahlias were bought as fast 

 as the wholesale houses offered them. 

 During the latter part of the week the 

 demand was greater and it seemed as 

 though the supply grew smaller. A few 

 white mums came in and were eagerly 

 sought for. Golden Glow is arriving in 

 limited quantities and selling well. 

 Roses, other than Killarney, are in good 

 demand. Carnations are in better sup- 

 ply and are quickly sold; the quality is 

 gradually improving. In the green 

 goods line, both smilax and Asparagus 

 plumosus are in oversupply and the 

 sales for them are small. Dahlias sold 

 well during the latter part of the 

 week, especially in the markets. The 

 quality of dahlias has greatly improved 

 with the coming of cooler weather. 



Various Notes. 



James Glass is erecting a 35-foot 

 brick smokestack, to replace the iron 

 one temporarily erected last year, fol- 

 lowing the wrecking of the original 

 stack during a gale. His poinsettias 

 and cyclamens are in good shape. 



Pierce & Co. have several large wed- 

 ding orders booked for this month. 

 Lawrence Kreuder, one of the firm, was 

 on a business trip to Philadelphia last 

 week. 



W. J. Myers has a new car. 



De Forrest Terry has given up the 

 store he formerly occupied at 1409 

 West Baltimore street. 



One of the rose houses at the B. Q. 

 Merritt range, at Colgate, has been in- 

 fested with a tiny worm, which enters 

 the rose bud in a small state and then 

 eats the entire bud. Even the young- 

 est shoots have fallen prey to this 

 pest, which has withstood all attempts 

 to destroy it by insecticides. No one 

 who has seen it is familiar with it and 

 the experts from the Maryland Agri- 

 cultural College are experimenting with 

 the worm. They hope to provide a 

 means for its extermination, as it bids 

 fair to destroy the entire crop of 

 blooms for some time to come. 



At the next club meeting, October 11, 

 Bichard Vincent, Jr., will speak on the 

 8. A. F. convention and the wonder- 

 ful scenery of California. 



Visitors last week included S. S. Pen- 

 nock, C. U. Liggit, I. Rosnosky and 

 D. T. Connor, all of Philadelphia, and 

 James Hooper, of Richmond, Va. 



W. P. E. 



Astoria, N. Y.— H. N. Pritchard is re- 

 tiring from the florists' business after 

 forty years in the trade. For many 

 years he has conducted a business at 

 Sixth and Flushing avenues.
