BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



We are experiencing disagreeable 

 weather for this time of the year and 

 the outlook for cut flowers for s^iiristmas 

 is not encouraging. However, business 

 last week was rushing. Of late many 

 notable people have passed away and a 

 great amount of design work was called 

 for. Funeral work holds its own, while 

 a few weddings, dinners, receptions and 

 other social occasions cleaned up prac- 

 tically everything. 



Boses are getting short and prices 

 higher. Carnations are selling too fast 

 and the supply is much shorter. They 

 are selling at $4 to $6 per hundred and 

 it is feared there will be a strong ad- 

 vance by next week. 



Violets are climbing up and double 

 violets are almost out of commission. 

 Some good large mums are still to be 

 had. A large supply of Paper "Whites 

 is ready for the Christmas rush. White 

 Eoman hyacinths are in time, while 

 callas are scarce. Harrisii and longi- 

 florum lilies are not plentiful. Mignon- 

 ette and sweet peas are on the market. 

 Christmas greens are plentiful and in 

 steady demand. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Ekas has completed a 100-foot 

 sash house for storing his rose bushes. 



F. Seidlich has secured his stall again 

 for the holidays. 



John McCormick is cutting some fine 

 carnations and sending in some extra 

 Harrisii lilies. 



The Baltimore Florists ' Exchange is 

 having a heavy run on cut flowers and 

 is unable to meet the demand. 



The bulb representatives were in town 

 last week taking orders for next year, 

 and report trade fair. 



G. H. Siddons has two large windows 

 tastefully decorated with Christmas sup- 

 plies and will also have a stall in the 

 market. 



A large amount of various sizes of 

 plants will be used in many Christmas 

 gardens. 



John K. Donn is doing a rushing busi- 

 ness in decorative plants. 



Some of our florists will not set prices 

 on flowers iiow to be delivered after 

 Christmas. J. L. T. 



Medicine Hat, ^Ian. — L. H. Shepley, 

 of Winnipeg, a financial agent, spent 

 last week in Medicine Hat in the inter- 

 ests of Winnipeg parties who contem- 

 plate investing $50,000 in a greenhouse 

 plant for the cultivation of roses and 

 carnations for the Winnipeg and west- 

 ern market. The stock is now brought 

 from eastern Canada and ^Minneapolis. 

 The cheap gas for fuel has brought 

 Medicine Hat to their attention and it is 

 looked upon as a favorable place for 

 such a business.
