The Market 



Since tBe frost of k week ago there 

 has been a great decrease in the supply 

 of cut flowers. Boses have shortened 

 up considerably and better prices are 

 ruling. Carnations have also been in 

 good demand and prices have stiffened 

 on the better grades. Enchantress 

 seems to be the best in this line so far, 

 but all kinds were in very short supply 

 the past week. Too many yellow 'Chrys- 

 anthemums and not enough white to 

 meet the demand was the condition of 

 the market during the week of Octo- 

 ber 28. Some few dahlias and outdoor 

 roses are still seen, but from all ap- 

 pearances outdoor stock will soon be 

 done for. Violets are improving and 

 selling well. 



Various Notes. 



Philip B. Welsh is sending in some 

 fine pink sweet peas. 



At the last club meeting the question 

 was brought up how to elevate the 

 private gardener, and papers will be 

 read on that subject at the next meet- 

 ing, which no doubt will prove an in- 

 teresting one. There was also a fine 

 exhibit of a pink seedling chrysanthe- 

 mum by N. Smith & Son, and also an 

 exhibit of chrysanthemums from G. 

 Lotze, of Glen Burnie, Md., among which 

 were some very promising varieties. 



On Friday, October 27, the three cit- 

 ies, Philadelphia, Washington and Bal- 

 timore, rolled a match game. After the 

 three games in Baltimore the remain- 

 ing three are to be bowled in Philadel- 

 phia during the Horticultural Socie- 

 ty's flower show. There was a banquet 

 here after the game on .Friday night. 

 P. G. Burger acted as toast-master and 

 there was a general good time. The
