BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



'I'lie J last Cliristnias has bo'jii tlie most 

 sucfcssfiil tlic growers ajid retailers ever 

 had. 'J'lie crojts ol" roses were light; 

 iiUR'h more so than was exported, and 

 very trw specials could lie had, Avilli a 

 shortage of all grades. Very few 

 American Beauties are grown in"^ Mary- 

 laud and nothing much can be said for 

 the ones that did show up. In carna- 

 tions the suj»ply was equal to the de- 

 mand, with the exception of red and 

 Lawson. for Avhich the demand was 

 heavy. A few growers hell some of 

 their carnations too long and they nat- 

 urally remained unsold, hut could have 

 been used at Christmas ])rices had they 

 been sliipj)ed when in good condition. 

 Otlicruise tliore was very little com- 

 plaint about salted stock. 



'Die call tor single and doui)!<' violets 

 wa.s JM-avy. witii enough for all orders 

 and a few carried over until Suiulav 

 moiiiing. when they were quickly bought 

 up. llarrisii ami narcissi wore over- 

 done and about the oidy things that were 

 carried over. Homan hyacinths, sweet 

 peas ;ind stevia sold well, with no ad- 

 vance ill price. The market on aspara- 

 gus and sinilax was good, with usual 

 price?. 



The retailers all seem well pleased 

 with the business done and the general 

 remark is that everything sold out clean 

 and could have handled nu)i('. Eed lui- 

 morti'lles sold better this year and most 

 stores were cleaned out Saturday. Well 

 berried holly and mistletoe were plenti- 

 ful and could be had at reasonable 

 pri.fs. Maryland holly couM be bought 

 as low as .t:2 to $4 for single-horse 

 wagon loads and well berried. 



Trado c(uitinued good all last week 

 and jirices were about the same as at 

 <1iristnias. Saturrlay, December 30, was 

 the first day that the wholesalers could 

 catch up with orders for carnations and 

 nisc<. All the j>:ist we.'k, llowers uciv 

 very scaice and never known to be so 

 short ill supply after ;i holiday, many 

 retailers itfusing orders for funeral de- 

 signs, lint the bright, sunny weather of 

 the Week caused tin' desirell ( hange for 



the better. J^^ Y
