Various Notes. 



A representative of one of the out-of- 

 town houses was here offering carnations 

 in lots of 500 at $2.50 per hundred and 

 selects at $3. He took many orders. 



Edward Pauth reports business good 

 and can offer no complaint. 



Henry Eberhardt has been offering fine 

 primroses and cinerarias. 



Charles Cook, West Mosher street, dis- 

 played a lovely stall of Easter bulbs in 

 Lexington market Saturday and disposed 

 of nearly every plant. 



Fishniger Bros, have made their ap- 

 pearance on Eutaw street with a large 

 line of various kinds of plants. 



Club Meeting and Banquet 



The regular meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club was held February 25 

 in the new Baltimore Florists' Exchange 

 building, with Vice-president Charles 

 Seybold in the chair. The meeting was 

 cut short. The new bookcase is now in 

 our club-room and was admired by every- 

 one. Otto Fielder was elected a member. 



The banquet committee took charge of 

 the larger part of the evening. The 

 rooms were handsomely decorated with 

 cut flowers and potted plants and while 

 the musicians played many danced. 



August Bernard and brothers ren- 

 dered a number of songs in English and 

 German, after which the chairman in- 

 vited the jolly crowd downstairs. The 

 doors of the salesroom of the exchange 

 were thrown open and at the sight of 

 the many good things a rush was made 

 and justice was surely done. It took 

 about two hours to reach the last course. 

 About 100 covers were laid and every 

 lady received at least one flower. 



F. G. Burger was the toastmaster. The 

 arrangement for the special ladies' night 

 and feast was in the hands of a com- 

 mittee composed of 1. H. Moss, T. Pat- 

 terson and M. Eichmond. Those who 

 responded to the toasts were Bichard 

 Vincent, E. A. Seidewitz and Robert L. 

 Graham. 



It was said to be one of the most 

 successful banquets ever held by the club 



and the ladies were assured that a ban- 

 quet will be given them by the club once 

 a year. J, L. T. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



The inevitable slump has come and 

 flowers are more of a drug than for a 

 long time. Values have fallen heavily 

 and vary so much that it is hard to give 

 quotations. Ice-chests which for a good 

 many weeks were practically empty are 

 now filled to overflowing and these con- 

 ditions are likely to continue until the 

 holding back of stock for Easter causes 

 a lessened supply. Eoses are much more 

 abundant and have dropped nearly to 

 normal prices. A few hybrids, mostly 

 Brunners, are seen and sell much better 

 than Beauties, which latter are being 

 hard pushed by Eichmond this season. 

 Carnations have sold as low as $1 and 

 none but select stock makes or exceeds 

 $3. Violets have been slaughtered un- 

 mercifully, prices of 10 cents per hun-
