The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



August 30, 1906. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market 



Baltimore and the nearby counties 

 have suffered considerably from the 

 heavy rains, and a great many washouts 

 have occurred in some sections, from 

 which growers lost many of their outdoor 

 plants. Asters are almost a total fail- 

 ure, and a perfect aster seldom is seen. 

 Dahlias are not up to the standard. 

 Tuberoses have made their appearance. 

 Boses are plentiful and can be had at 

 almost any price. Gladioli are fairly 

 good, and the market is well supplied 

 with them. Smilax is as scarce as ever. 

 The cut flower trade has been good. A 

 great many funerals have taken place, 

 and this has improved the store trade. 



Various Notes. 



September 9 to 16 the great fire jubi- 

 lee will take place. Special excursions 

 are given on all the railroads and boats. 

 It is expected that a grand rush will 

 be made on the florists, and arrange- 

 ments are already made to try to meet 

 the demand. 



The Gardeners' Club sent a large del- 

 egation to the S. A. F. convention at 

 Dayton. 



Celery plants cannot be had. Wet 

 weather is the cause of the shortage. 



B. Stahl, Brooklyn, has completed his 

 two houses and installed a gasoline en- 

 gine. 



Eobert L. Graham, Waverly, Md., has 

 returned from the north. 



The Lord & Burnbam Co. is erecting a 

 fine, up-to-date greenhouse for Norman 

 James, Catonsville, Md.

 houses are completed and are up-to-date 

 in every particular. J. J. Cummings is 

 the manager.

Watch Us Grow 



ABAUCARIA8, the best decorative plants 

 Nature produces, our specialty. 



Every man In business and life, to be success- 

 ful, must adopt one thing: as his specialty and 

 that specialty, of whatever nature it may be, he 

 must f uard, study and push to such an extent 

 that it not only beneflts himself but he must con- 

 tinue It so every one who seeks bis aid, services 

 or his article, which he advertises or practices, 

 will share a slice of his activity and prosperity. 

 I made the Importation and cultivation of arau- 

 carlas a special study in my life. The fig:ures 

 below will show my success in business from 

 the first year; by commencing with an importa- 

 tion of 260 and now, the eleventh year, my Impor- 

 tation has grown up to 6,000 (come and see It), 

 the reason beinc: that the araucaria grows yearly 

 more in favor with the plant consuming people all 

 over the country, as a most admired decorative 

 plant for the parlor, bed-room, dining and sitting- 

 rooms, stores and hotels, lawns and porches. 

 The outlook will be of an importation of at least 

 8,000 to 10,000 in spring of 1907. To secure this 

 vast amount for 1907, 1 am now on the ocean per 

 Steamer New Amsterdam, having left Hoboken 

 Aug. 16, striking for Belgium, to make contracts 

 for next year. I shall also bring over with me at 

 the same time, a latge lot of choice Azalea lodica 

 and Palms, etc.. for Christmas and Easier forc- 

 ln<. No money will be spared to secure for my 

 customers the cream of the Belgium greenhouses 

 only.
