The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Septembeb 20, lOUtf. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market 



Last week was extremely warm, and 

 naturally there was a heavy crop of 

 everything in the cut flower line. Being 

 jubilee week, there was a demand for ail 

 kinds of cut flowers and nxost of the 

 stock was sold at good prices, 



American Beauty roses are coming in 

 fine, while carnations are looking better. 

 Roses are still plentiful. 



Baltimore florists shared well last week 

 from the jubilee thousands. One of the 

 floats was decorated with American 

 Beauty roses, and the fire hero horse, 

 Goliath, was presented with a collar of 

 carnations and roses. Hundreds of 

 bunches of flowers were in the parades. 

 Mr. Wells, on Broadway, sold 1,000 dah- 

 lias in one day and a great many more 

 florists did likewise. 



Vaitotis Notes. 



The Baltimore Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club held its regular meeting Sep- 

 tember 10, with a fairly good attend- 

 ance. The chrysanthemum show was dis- 

 cussed and competition was opened to 

 the private gardeners. W. G. Anderson, 

 of Ruxton, and G. Everly were elected 

 members. 



The club sent a few days ago a hand- 

 some silver water pitcher to J. G. Har- 

 rison & Sons, Berlin, Md. A letter of 

 thanks was received by the secretary 

 from Orlando Harrison, and was read to 

 the members. 



- R. Vincent was present at the meet- 

 ing and invited the members to his an- 

 nual dahlia exhibition. An express train 

 leaves Baltimore Camden station at 

 11:50 a. m., Mt. Royal at 11:55 a. m., 

 and will stop only at Cowenton, where 

 teams will meet the visitors. It is ex- 

 pected that the Washington club will 

 bring a large crowd, as %ell as some from 

 New York, Philadelphia and Boston. 



Thomas Vincent, one of the members 

 of the firm of R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons, 

 White Marsh, Md., is reported confined 

 to his bed with throat trouble. 



J. L. T. 



Birmingham, Ala. — The accounting 

 methods of John L. Parker, of this city, 

 are given several pages of illustrated 

 description in the September Business 

 Man's Magazine, Detroit. Mr. Parker 

 has two drug stores, a good range of 

 glass and does a large business with a 

 loose-leaf system of accounting which 

 enables him to keep his eye constantly 

 on the results in each department.

Watch Us Grow 



ARAU0ARIA8, the best decorative plants 

 Nature produces, our specialty. 



Bvery man In business and life, to be success- 

 ful, must adopt one ttainr as his specialty and 

 that specialty, of whatever nature li may l>e, he 

 must Kuard, study and push to such an extent 

 that It not only beneOts himself but he must con- 

 tinue it so every one who seeks his aid. services 

 or his article, which he adverilses or practices, 

 will share a slice of his activity and prosperity. 

 I made the Importation and cultivation of arau- 

 carias a special study in my life. The figrures 

 below will show my success in business from 

 the first year; by commenclncr witn an Importa- 

 tion of 260 and now, the eleventh yea> . my Impor- 

 tation has grrown up to 6.t00 (come and see It). 

 the i^ason belnc that the araucarla 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,C00 to lO.ObO in spring o f 1907. To secure this vast 

 amount for 1907, 1 left Hoboken Aug. 15, striking 

 for Belgium, to make contracts for next year. 

 I shall also bring over with me at the same time 

 alaige lot of choice Azalea Indica and Palms, 

 etc.. for Christmas and Easier forcln;. No
