The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



J 729 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market 



Last week was a busy one among tne 

 retailers. Boses are a little scarce, while 

 carnations are coming in better. Vio- 

 lets are as scarce as ever and hard to 

 procure. Chrysanthemums are in full 

 blast, but still selling at fair prices. 

 Greens of all kinds are a little steadier. 

 Calla and Harrisii lilies are not abun- 

 dant as yet. 



CatODsville. 



John McCormick, Catonsville, is well 

 known as one of the most successful 

 growers. In Baltimore he has a fine 

 store and business is always rushing. 



He has 60,000 square feet of glass, 

 fourteen houses, and a fifty horse-power 

 boiler to supply them with heat. He will 

 erect another house 40x250 feet for 

 roses. The water supply is by a gaso- 

 line engine. Mr. McCormick 's son takes 

 entire charge of the carnations. They 

 have thousands of chrysanthemums ready 

 to cut and he cuts out of one bench 

 6x140, 100 American Beauty roses every 

 week. He also cuts 1,500 Brides- 

 maid roses a day and nearly the same 

 number of Brides and Gates. Longiflor- 

 ums are expected to be in bloom by 

 Christmas. He has 500 bulbs shipped to 

 him every thirty days. A bouse of early 

 chrysanthemums has been planted to 

 callas, which are now blooming. He has 

 another house of mignonette, one house 

 of smilax and asparagus, and grows 

 thousands of bulbs. 



Various Note*. 



Harry Quick has made his appearance 

 in market again. 



George Siddons is doing a rushing 

 business. 



Charles Cook is about again, attend- 

 ing to market as usual. 



Aug. Eberhardt has bought about five 

 and a half acres of land on Maiden- 

 choice Lane, below Wilkens avenue, and 

 will erect several greenhouses. 



Samuel Feast & Sons will have an- 

 other new store on North Charles street, 

 oposite the Fernery. 



J. Hannigan, gardener for James A. 

 Garey, is preparing stock for Mr. Ga- 

 rey's golden wedding. 



J. C. Beinecke has his roses in full 

 crop. 



Morris Bros, have completed planting 

 their thousands of pansy plants. 



George Mehl, at FuUerton, has com- 

 pleted his three houses of 10,000 square 

 feet of glass and has installed a twenty- 

 five horse-power boiler and steam pump. 

 He will grow chrysanthemums, carna- 

 tions and callas. 



John Hannan, gardener for Mrs. D. C. 

 Howell, has the finest chrysanthemums 

 around Baltimore. 



Otto Guerth, successor to Lehr Bros., 

 reports that trade has been brisk and 

 sometimes he starts out as early as 3 

 a. m. to secure his stock. 



E. B. Clark, Arlington, will discon- 

 tinue business if he can sell his green- 

 houses. 



The Gardeners' Club held its regular 

 meeting November 12 and the first night 

 of the chrysanthemum show will hold its 

 banquet at the Academy hotel. 



J. L. T. 



Greensburg, Pa.— Joseph Thomas has 

 completed another greenhouse, 25x100, 

 for ferns. This gives him 28,000 feet of 

 glass.
