expected of it. Green goods of all kinds 

 cleaned up nicely and plants never sold 

 so well, but there probably never was as 

 good stock offered for sale in this city. 

 Immortelles, statice and other wreaths 

 and decorations could scarcely be made 

 up fast enough to satisfy the demand. 

 The retail stores never looked so well 

 nor had so many pretty things in them. 



Various Notes. 



Breitenstein & Flemm have their shop 

 decorated with artificial poinsettias and 

 these, with the exquisite plants and 

 artistic wreaths, were worth going a mile 

 to see. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams' shop was as 

 pretty as a picture. The general ar- 

 rangement is always artistic, but the 

 addition of such plants, baskets, wreaths 

 and otlier novelties made it a paradise 

 where even one in the trade found it 

 hard to keep his money in his pocket. 



A. W. Smith made a general change 

 in his large store, putting all workmen 

 out of sight and decorating the whole 

 shop with natural poinsettias from six 

 inches to eight feet high, and the effect 

 he got with these flowers and Whitmani 

 ferns was grand. 



H. L. Blind & Bros, were not behind 

 in any respect. Their azaleas, poinset- 

 tias, oranges, and various red-berried 

 plants, and hardsome cut flowers of 

 their own growing, kept their store filled 

 with buyers. 



L. I. Neff, with four stores to look 

 after, forgot his amusement interests 

 entirely and was so busy keeping up a 

 stock of his own novelties (red baskets 

 filled with red immortelles and boxwood, 

 and red bells by the thousands) that his 

 force has been working day and night 

 for several weeks. 



Eandolph & McClements, in the east 

 end, had their beautiful store filled with 

 everything one could think of in the way 

 of plants for Christmas, and were busy 

 with large decorations. 



The Siebert Co. outdid itself in pretty 

 combinations of red and green, both in 

 plants and made-up wreaths.

Clements, has sold the lot, 50x150 feet, 

 at present occupied by their store, for 

 $100,000 cash. This will compel them 

 to change the location of the store in 

 the spring. Hoo-Hoo. 



Eandolph & McClements have bought 

 the business of P. Siebert, the east end 

 florist, including greenhouses on Stanton 

 avenue. Eighteenth ward, and the lease 

 on the building at Baum and Beatty 

 streets. The lot is 100xi.:0 feet and the 

 present building occupies the front half 

 of it. Randolph & McClements, as their 

 lease is a long one, will erect a large 

 building on the rear half of the lot at 

 Beatty and Commerce streets and will re- 

 move their store to that location next 

 spring. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market 



Last week opened with a rush, and it 

 still continues and the outlook is en- 

 couraging. It is feared cut blooms will 

 be scarce, however. The growers are 

 rushing in anything that is a bloom, and 

 find a steady demand. 



Carnations are bringing from $6 to 

 $10. Roses are still scarce, but violets 

 are more plentiful, and everything will 

 be used up. American Beauties uro

steady and find ready demand. Callas 

 are selling at $2 per dozen. Stevia and 

 all sorts of bulbs are used up. There ifl 

 quite a demand this year for poinsettia 

 and immortelles. Christmas trees sold 

 well. Norway spruce and Boston spruce 

 seemed to be the leaders. Pine trees 

 were hard to find. Many cedars were 

 sent in and sold as low as 15 cents. 

 Holly can be had in any amount at a 

 reasonable price, in fact, greens of all 

 kinds are plentiful and in demand. 



Variottt Notes. 



Frederick Reitz, of Franklintown, Md., 

 has completed a new house for storing 

 potted plants. 



T. W. Gray has again secured his stall 

 in the market. He has been hampered 

 by a new building erected on the corner 

 he formerly occupied. 



Thomas Vincent, of West Baltimore 

 street, is about again, attending to busi- 

 ness.
