OCTOBEB 21, 1915. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



Business conditions have shown con- 

 tinued improvement. The weather has 

 been cool. Inside stock generally is 

 short, with the result that prices have 

 advanced. Everything in the way of 

 cut flowers was cleaned up at the end 

 of last week. 



Mums are arriving in larger quanti- 

 ties and are selling well, especially 

 white. Chrysolora and Oconto are be- 

 ginning to come in. Carnations are im- 

 proving rapidly, although none too 

 plentiful. The call for roses takes all 

 that are offered, with white scarce and 

 in good demand. Radiance and Mrs. 

 Russell are also much called for. 



The cool weather has been ideal for 

 dahlias and those growers who escaped 

 the frosts of October 9 and 10 are cut- 

 ting fine blooms. Many patches were 

 hit only on the foliage, the flowers not 

 being open. 



Greens are overplentiful, with no 

 prospect of change until outdoor flowers 

 have been killed. 



Vaxious Notes. 



William J. Halliday is showing some 

 fine specimen plants of Cattleya labiata 

 and Oncidium varicosum, in bloom, in 

 his store window. One pf the varieties 

 of nepenthes, in bloom, attracts atten- 

 tion on account of its unusual shape 

 and color. 



J. W. Penn is cutting some good 

 Chrysolora mums. 



Joseph S. Merritt has purchased a 

 new touring car. 



Akehurst & Sons, of "White Marsh, 

 Md., are cutting carnations. Their En- 

 chantress and White Enchantress are 

 specially good. 



Lehr Bros, are sending some choice 

 Ophelia to the Leo Niessen Co. 



Visitors last week included J. J. 

 Goudy, from Henry A. Dreer, Inc.; S. S. 

 Skidelsky and a representative of the 

 Robert Craig Co., all of Philadelphia. 



A. S. Richmond has finished work on 

 his new propagating house. A bench of 

 Oconto is nearly ready for cutting. 

 His other mums and carnations are also 

 in good shape. 



The sympathy of the trade is ex- 

 tended to J. J. Perry in the death of 

 his mother, October 13, at the home of 

 her daughter, in Washington, D. C, 

 Both of Mr. Perry's parents have died 

 during the year. 



Matthew Richmond has the frame of 

 his two new houses up and is filling the 

 beds preparatory to spring planting. 

 His pompon mums look good for a 

 heavy cutting. 



Erdman & Ulrich held their first an- 

 nual dahlia show from October 12 to 17. 

 A better attendance than was expected 

 caused them to prolong the exhibition 

 two days. The cut flowers were ar- 

 ranged in the service shed, being dis- 

 played against a background of ferns 

 and oak foliage, which covered walls 

 and ceiling. The greenhouses were at- 

 tractive and the fern house and cycla- 

 mens were worthy of special mention. 



James Hamilton is showing some fine 

 Chrysolora mums in his Charles street 

 store. 



The next club meeting will be held 

 October 25. W. F. E. 



Bowling Green, O. — At the range of 

 J. S. Brigham, a new greenhouse, 28x 

 70, has been completed.
