The Weekly Florists' Review* 



July 4, 1907. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market 



At last we are in the clutches of sum- 

 mer, with the thermometer registering 

 up to 98 degrees in the shade, which 

 naturally causes a decrease in business. 

 The market is glutted with flowers and 

 many go to the dump. Our exchange in 

 one day had 20,000 carnations on hand 

 and was unable to dispose of all of them. 

 The street boys are out in full force and 

 one could go to the market and buy for 

 25 cents a bunch equal to a dollar's 

 worth a few weeks ago. Even one of 

 the street boys a short time ago was 

 compelled to throw 1,500 carnations on 

 the rubbish pile. 



The farmers are throwing thousands 

 of garden lilies on the market, selling 

 as low as 5 cents a dozen. 



The pot plant trade has at last ended, 

 but many growers will carry over a large 

 surplus. 



Gardeners' Qub. 



The regular meeting of the Gardeners' 

 Club was held June 24, with a rousing 

 attendance. President F. C Bauer was 

 in tho chair. John Severon was pro- 

 posed for membership. 



The committee on Jamestown was 

 heard with interest. Among those who 

 spoke on donating flowers for the exhi- 

 bition were E. A. Seidewitz, R. Vincent, 

 Jr., C. L. Seybold and J. J. Perry. 



Another interesting talk was heard 

 from R. Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, 

 who entertained the club for an hour. 

 Mr. Vincent, through the ladies' aid so- 

 ciety, will devote one day in September 

 to entertaining the Gardeners' Club at 

 his place. 



President Bauer gave a smoker and 

 refreshments; he received a vote of 

 thanks. 



Various Notes. 



G. A. Lotze, Glen Burnie, sent to the 

 Jamestown exposition a large collection 

 of sweet peas, for the Baltimore day. 



Lehr Bros., Brooklyn, are repairing 

 the damage done by the recent hail 

 storm. Over 150 boxes of glass will be 

 used. 



Miss Elsie Beall, of Baltimore, and 

 R. E. Akehurst, of White Marsh, were 

 married June 26 and are on a trip 

 through the south and west. 



Competition among members of the 

 Baltimore Chamber of Commerce, in 

 growing fine flowers, has become more 

 pronounced this summer. Every day 

 displays of handsome blooms are shown 

 on the floor. Members of the Cham- 

 ber of Commerce Ploricultural Society 

 are E. Hewes, C. D. Reid, Luther M. 

 Jackson, T. H. Botts and J. L. Vincent, 



J. H. Arndt, Arlington, displayed a 

 choice box of his Orem strawberries at 

 the last club meeting. .1. Oler & Bro. 

 also liad an extra fine box of straw- 

 berries of the same variety at the club. 



J. L. T. 



Haklak, Ja. — W. M. Bomjaerger re- 

 ports an exceedingly busy season. He is 

 preparing to increase his output. 



Salem, O. — William Mundy, who con- 

 templates moving his greenhouses to his 

 recently acquired property' along the 

 Stark electric railway, west of the city, 

 is at work, two buildings of residence 

 form being already under way. The lo- 

 catior. is a pretty residence and green- 

 house site.
