The Market. 



Trade last week was fairly good. 

 Many funeral designs were gotten out, 

 while Decoration day was a bright, clear, 

 warm day and the many cemeteries were 

 crowded. All along the roads, crowds 

 carried flowers of every description. 

 Anything was salable. Cut flowers were 

 in steady demand and brought good 

 prices, while pot plants went slowly. 

 Many of the stores are offering the 

 latter at a very low figure. One of our 

 growers is selling his at 3 cents a pot ; 

 in fact, anything to get rid of his large 

 stock. 



We are again experiencing wintry 

 weather. We had last Saturday hail, 

 snow, wind, rain — almost every kind of 

 weather. Many telephones were put out 

 of commission. Shrubbery was also 

 damaged and trees blown down; bedding 

 plants suffered and business was af- 

 fected. Many of our market florists 

 Saturday carried nearly as much of their 

 stock home as they brought. However, 

 the outdoor flowers are far short in their 

 supply and we have to depend on the 

 indoor stock mostly. Carnations are be- 

 ginning to get short in supply. Eoses 

 are not too plentiful. Sweet peas are 

 plentiful. Lily of the valley is scarce. 

 Greens are enough to meet the demand. 



Qub Meeting. 



The May meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club, with President F. C. 

 Bauer in the chair, was in every way in- 

 teresting, with a fairly good attendance. 

 Mr. Lanahan invited the club to visit 

 his country residence, Blenheim, where 

 Mr. Kepplinger is gardener. W. Frazer 

 was present, being president of the 

 Jamestown committee for the club. Isaac 

 H. Moss was appointed president of the 

 bowling team. Special business will be 

 transacted at the next meeting and all 

 members are requested to be present. M. 

 Thau, manager of the Fernery, Govans- 

 town, Md., showed a bunch of his new 

 double white daisy from Queen Alex- 

 andra. 



Various Notes. 



A. G. Fiedler & Co. furnished 3,500 

 carnations, mostly white, for the St. 

 Mary's church May procession Sunday, 

 May 26. 



Lehr Bros, lost by the hail storm 200 

 boxes of glass, with no insurance. 



Martin Duckstein lost about fifteen 

 boxes of glass, partly insured. 



G. Morrison, manager at Uplands, has 

 two new greenhouses about completed 

 and will grow roses on a larger scale. 



The vegetable gardens of Charles I. 

 James, Catonsville, Md., H. C. Caines, 

 gardener, are certainly a credit to him, 

 being more forward than any I have seen 

 in his section. 



Henry Kreafle, gardener at Beech- 

 field, has a fine collection of coleus. 



E. A. Woodfall, Glen Burnie, Md., is 

 ha\'ing considerable trouble with rabbits
