The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Afbil 30, 1908. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market 



The reports of the florists are any- 

 thing but satisfactory in regard to their 

 Easter business. Financial returns are 

 far below those of last year. There 

 was plenty of good stuff that went to 

 the dump. There is plenty of bulb stock 

 still coming into the markets. Bedding 

 plants, especially geraniums, are selling 

 well. Sweet peas and lilac are a glut. 



The bulb agents are getting the cold 

 shoulder wherever they go and the orders 

 they get do not satisfy them at all. 

 There will be twenty-eight to return 

 home May 1 from New York. 



The florists have started a petition to 

 have the fakers removed from the streets 

 adjacent to the markets. There has been 

 much ill feeling on this matter for some 

 time. There are plenty of stalls idle 

 which they can rent, and in this way 

 prices will be regulated to some extent. 



Various Notes. 



J. Bolgiano & Son started their spring 

 sales of plants April 23 and are doing 

 an immense business, both in plants and 

 seeds. They have about twelve sales- 

 men just to handle the bedding plants. 

 They handle about 18,000 geraniums 

 alone. 



Israel Bosnosky, representing the Hen- 

 ry F. Michell Co:, was in town Satur- 

 day and reports business good, especially 

 with the new lily, Formosa Lilium longi- 

 florum. 



The park commissioners have begun 

 to propagate the cherry laurel in large 

 quantities at Patterson park, using about 

 five large houses. They are shipped from 

 down south in lots of 10,000 wrapped in 

 moss. Q. 



CuNTON, Mass. — Patrick Burke, em- 

 ployed by Edward W. Breed, has been 

 reappointed by the board of selectmen as 

 forest warden. As yet the town has not 

 made any provision for the payment of 

 the warden and there seems to be some 

 uncertainty in regard to the nature of 

 his duties, although it would appear that 

 the law instructing municipal authorities 

 to appoint forest wardens was enacted 

 especially to meet conditions in towns of 

 small population where there is a large 

 forest area and where the fire fighting 

 forces are not organized.
