M. M. Fiedler & Co. are displaying a 

 choice variety of various kinds of ferns, 

 palms and cut flowers in their large win- 

 dow. Their store is one of the finest 

 in northwest Baltimore. 



The labor question here is becoming a 

 serious matter, as a new sewerage sys- 

 tem is started and the docks are taking 

 many hands ±rom the country, so the 

 gardeners find it difficult to secure help. 



N. E. Shipley, Arlington, Md., out of 

 three sashes picked 300 double violets in 

 one day, the stems averaging about eight 

 inches long and the blooms one inch in 

 diameter.

 being divided into building lots.
