Sperry's, was under the doctor's care a 

 week. Percy Jones has been struggling 

 with the grip microbes, but sticking to 

 duty. He reports most satisfactory busi- 

 ness last week. 



At E. H. Hunt's they report selling 

 Enchantress for as high as $8 per hun- 

 dred Monday. In the supply department 

 they now show their Christmas bell in 

 white, a fine thing for wedding decora- 

 tions. 



The growers who make a specialty or 

 rooted cuttings report good business on 

 both roses and carnations. Scheiden & 

 Schoos report an inquiry for 10,000 

 rooted cuttings of Enchantress. 



Miss Martha Gunterberg is handling 

 azaleas, primroses, etc., in the Growers' 

 Market. 



Vaughn & Sperry are building a pri- 

 vate office in their corner of the Grow- 

 ers' Market. 



Tuesday Bassett & Washburn shipped 

 a box of their red seedling No. 20 to 

 Mr. Bassett, who had started the day 

 before for New York. Mr. and Mrs. 

 Bassett sail on the Arabic Thursday f6r 

 Egypt. The flowers were to be deliv- 

 ered to them on the boat. 

 ' M. V. Garnsey, of La Grange, re- 

 ports a rapidly increasing demand for 

 his Japana cut-flower holder and new 

 Anglais table decorations. It is espe- 

 cially convenient for violets, valley, nar- 

 cissi, etc. 



One of the week's visitors was B. 

 Eschner, of M. Eice & Co., Philadelphia, 

 with a line of samples of Easter novel- 

 ties. Martin Reukauf , of Bayersdorfer 's, 

 Philadelphia, also has been in town. H. 

 Brinkman and wife, Michigan City, Ind., 

 were looking up stock in the market. 



BALTIMORE. 



Tlie Market 



The last week has been a record-break- 

 er and we have experienced every kind of 

 weather imaginable. But business was 

 good. Society was in full blast. Many 

 decorations were called for. One florist 

 had six decorations in one day. Many 

 banquets were held and dinners were 

 given. The usual demand for funeral 

 work was met. 



Bulbous flowers are coming in more 

 readily. Many Romans and narcissi 

 were used for designs. Carnations and 

 roses are still holding their own and 

 bringing good prices. There has been 

 a demand for sweet peas and smilax. 

 Callas are steadier. Mignonette is fine 

 and selling well. The southern violets

T. Walter Gray, of Catonsville, Md., ia 

 erecting another house 18x90 for forcing 

 Easter bulbs. The increasing business 

 has made it necessary for him to build at 

 this time of the year. Mr. Gray will 

 soon make his appearance in market 

 with his new wagon.

January 29 was McKinley day. Thou- 

 sands of carnations were used in various 

 ways. His bust in the post-office was 

 decorated and G. A. B. veterans used 

 many hundreds. The club rooms were 

 decorated. A large majority of the citi- 

 zens here were honoring the occasion by 

 wearing carnations. 



B. Stoll was in town wearing the smile 

 that won't come off. He has a new-
