The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Mat 7, 1908. 



BALTIMORE. 



General Conditions. 



We are having cold weather for this 

 time of the year. The temperature has 

 gone down to 34 degrees on several 

 mornings and was kept from going lower 

 only by a strong wind, which has been 

 playing havoc with the flowers on the 

 stands in the market. There is little 

 planting going on, except carnations, 

 which are nearly all planted. There will 

 not be as many planted this season as 

 there were last. Carnations were over- 

 done this season and the returns have 

 been poor, for a great many of the grow- 

 ers. There have been a great many bed- 

 ding plants grown this year and the 

 street peddlers are going from door to 

 door with them and seem to be doing 

 well. 



The park superintendents have started 

 their men planting the squares and parka 

 with geraniums and cannas, of which 

 they grow a great many. Each superin- 

 tendent has to produce enough stock for 

 his district. 



Various Notei. 



Prof. Corbett, of Washington, gave an 

 interesting talk on soils and their various 

 uses to a large gathering of members at 

 the last meeting of the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club at its rooms in the Balti- 

 more Florists' Exchange building. F. 

 C. Baur exhibited one of the finest vases 

 of valley that has ever been seen here. 

 It contained twenty-five spikes and every 

 one had from twenty-two to twenty-four 

 bells and measured eight inches from 

 the first bell to the top bell. It created 

 quite a sensation. Mr. Baur has been 

 improving his valley for the last four 

 years and has had excellent success. He 

 also grows a great many seedling lilies 

 and has a whole house planted with 

 them. There is not one that has any 

 sign of disease. He planted a large tract 

 with them last fall and every one hiis 

 come up and is about six inches tall. 

 He had a fine collection of amaryllis ex- 

 hibited also. John Cook exhibited two 

 vases of his new rose, My Maryland, 

 and another one that has not been named. 

 It is a very pretty shade of pink and 

 surely will make a hit when it is ex- 

 hibited this fall. Q. 



Whitman, Mass. — Maurice L. Belcher 

 is a voluntary petitioner in bankruptcy, 

 with liabilities amounting to $967 and 

 assets valued at $40. 



North Woburn, Mass. — Adam Foster 

 has commenced work on two more green- 

 houses. Mr. Foster is one of the most 

 successful market gardeners in this lo- 

 cality.
