The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Apbil 4, 1907. 



BALTIMORE. 



Easter Trade. 



The Easter trade was in a rush the 

 early part of the week, gradually slack- 

 ening until Saturday and then a steady 

 demand persisted until a late hour. The 

 market was a glut of bulbous flowers, 

 which sold at disappointing prices, and 

 it is feared that many of the growers 

 did not get enough out of them to meet 

 their bills. Some said it was a failure. 

 Thousands of flowers came in from the 

 south and anybody who had a little 

 change hustled to the commission men 

 and back to the market, where they of- 

 fered flowers at such a price that anyone 

 could get a fine bunch for 50 cents. Our 

 own growers could only look on while 

 their stock nearly all faded away. 



The retail stores looked as though they 

 fared better than the market florists. A 

 good many of them sold out and received 

 far better prices. Many church decora- 

 tions were required and not until a late 

 hour was the work finished. 



Carnations retailed at from 50 cents 

 to 75 cents a dozen. Violets, 50 cents 

 a hundred and up. Jonquils retailed at 

 ridiculous prices. Rose buds were offered 

 at 50 cents a dozen, while American 

 Beauties sold for from $12 to $18 a 

 dozen. Tulips and hyacinths went at 

 any old price. Lilies sold for 25 cents 

 a bloom. There were a great many ex- 

 tra fine Crimson Ramblers, azaleas and 

 hydrangeas on the market, which sold at 

 good prices. .... 



VafiottcNoU*. 



James Glass had one of the prettiest 

 stalls in the market and it did not take 

 him long to have a photograph taken 

 of it. 



Mr. Hess, Waverly, had a fine lot of 

 azaleas and disposed of nearly all of 

 them. 



C. B. Hoffman lost over 3,000 violets 

 last week by the hot siin. Shading was 

 of no consequence. 



iS'. C. Davis, Landsdowne, Md., who 

 was thought to have smallpox and who 

 was quarantineu, is suing the board of 

 health. 



The private gardeners are patronizing 

 home trade this year far better than the 

 past. Some of the seedsmen- are behind 

 in getting their spring orders out. The 

 counter trade this year is extremely 

 heavy. The grass seed orders this year 

 exceed those of last season. J. L. T. 



Dutch Kills, N. Y. — Joseph Myrtle 

 was shot the night of March 27, at Sher- 

 man and Wilmer streets, Long Island 

 City. It is suspected that an Italian 

 did the shooting. Mr. Myrtle was not 

 severely wounded.
