Amerpohlii has been awarded the highest honors wherever shown, and all the 

 critics, growers and retailers are enthusiastic about its beauty as a pot plant and its 

 usefulness as a cut frond. At all exhibitions where we have shown it the opinion is 

 never divided. You, too, will like it.

TheMa^et 



Trade last week kept up fairly well. 

 Many funeral designs were made up and 

 used a great deal of the large quantity 

 of cut blooms that was on the market. 

 We have had a little frost, but could 

 not find that any damage had been done 

 yet. On making a trip to Vincent's last 

 Tuesday, I found his dahlia fields one, 

 mass of blooms and thousands could be 

 cut. The firm was still making ship- 

 ments of cut dahlias and is now potting 

 up thousands of geraniums. 



Boses and carnations are arriving in 

 fine condition. The early chrysanthe- 

 mums are abundant, selling well, and the 

 only drawback is the lack of outside 

 blooms, such as dahlias. In cosmos the 

 city market had quite a rush last Satur- 

 day and the public seemed eager to buy. 

 Some dealers were sold out early in the 

 evening. Violets are coming in slowly. 

 Greens are enough to meet the demands. 

 Wild fern leaves are plentiful. 



Home Cominf Week. 



Our city is now entertaining thousands 

 of strftPgers and home comers and the 

 decorations are gorgeous. The public 

 buildings are nearly all brilliantly il- 

 luminated and at night are transformed 

 into great blazes of light. The city mar- 

 ket florists are well pfitroni^ed, selling 

 many cut flowers, aijd from the indica- 

 tions the flower business will get some 



benefit. At present little decorating 

 with plants is going on, but many 

 bunches will be used in the parades. G. 

 Siddons generally makes up hundreds 

 of bunches and has his men on the 

 streets, and they dispose of them easily. 

 This will be a busy week. Large recep- 

 tions and entertainments will be held, 

 calling for decorations. The doors are 

 open and you are welcome. 



Variottt Note*. 



G. V. Smith, of Waverly, is installing 

 a new boiler. 



G. A, Lotze, of Glen Burnie, Md., has

Isaac H. Moss, of Govanstown, Md., is

 the plants are in every way encouraging.

 exhibition Tuesday, October 8, at their

 ready many are cutting them by the hun- 

 dreds, ;

 his new raujge of houses at Hunters'
