The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Mat 16, 1907. 



BALTIMOEE. 



The Market. 



After passing through another disa- 

 greeable week, business has dropped off 

 a little; weather conditions are every 

 way but seasonable. Work of all kinds 

 is booked, but we are unable to check it 

 off and at present there is little prospect 

 of doing so. We have had several frosts 

 lately, and this is unusual here at this 

 time of the year. On an average the 

 last killing frost strikes here about April 

 15, but May 11, 1907, we had a frost 

 which played havoc in the farming sec- 

 tions. The florists also were heavy 

 losers. 



Any quantity of cut flowers can be 

 had at reasonable figures. The street 

 boys are doing a rushing business. Lilacs 

 are in, but short in supply. Honeysuckle 

 seems to be a little more plentiful. 

 Greens of all kinds are more regular. 



Various Notes. 



While he was attending market on a 

 recent Saturday the home of T. W. Gray, 

 Catonsville, Md., was robbed. A gold 

 watch and chain, some money and vari- 

 ous other articles are reported missing. 



Charles Cook has been receiving con- 

 gratulations from his many friends on 

 the arrival, May 7, of a bouncing baby 

 girl. 



The pea, bean and strawberry crops in 

 Anne Arundel county are in a satisfac- 

 tory condition and picking will soon 

 start. 



Aug. Eberhardt is still cutting some 

 fine Enchantress carnations and offering 

 a nice lot of well rooted asters in 2-inch 

 pots. 



John P. Willheim, Gardenville, Md., 

 was seen the other day in town with a 

 new rubber-tired buggy and driving a 

 young, spirited colt. 



Among those who have taken up the 

 idea of handling flower seeds in pack- 

 ages in the market are Mrs. James Glass, 

 Mrs. Emma Hahn and Mrs. F. Powell, 

 and they report trade on them as satis- 

 factory. J. L. T.
