BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



Trade for this time of the year is 

 keeping up nicely. Funeral work is keep- 

 ing up fairly well and a few wedding 

 orders are booked. Roses are still ar- 

 riving in good quantities. Carnations are 

 getting rather short in supply and the 

 stock is a little poor. Gladioli and as- 

 ters can be had in large quantities. 

 Phlox is plentiful, the white varieties 

 being the most called for. Dahlias are 

 still coming in very slowly and the qual- 

 ity* is poor. Ferns are making their ap- 

 pearance. The supply of greens of all 

 kinds is enough to meet the demand.
