BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



Business has taken on its summer at- 

 tire, and there is not much doing outside 

 of occasional funeral work. Koses are 

 holding up well, considering the season, 

 and have a fair demand. Carnations are 

 becoming quite small and these are 

 mostly from outside plants. Asters are 

 beginning to come in, but are poor. The 

 markets are glutted with hardy phlox. 

 Gladioli are more plentiful, but are 

 mostly in dark colors, which do not meet 

 with a ready sale. 



Qufo Meetiflc:. 



The club held a meeting at the club 

 rooms on Monday, August 10, which was 

 well attended, considering the hot spell 

 which we are having now. There is only 

 one meeting each month during July and 

 August. Quite a crowd went to the con- 

 vention this year. The members left on 

 the 8:. "55 train Monday morning, on the 

 B. & O., which also had the Washington 

 florists on board. There are about forty 

 members present from Baltimore. 



Louis P. Eyer was elected a member 

 of the club. 



W. O. Stran had a fine vase of Crego 

 asters on display. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Hamilton, of Mount Washing- 

 ton, has just finished a cold storage 

 building, 20x40 feet and two stories high. 

 Mr. Hamilton does an extensive whole- 

 sale business in cut flowers and has fin- 

 ished another house for asparagus, 30x- 

 100 feet. C. M. Wagner is manager for 

 Mr. Hamilton. 



Carroll Hoffman, of Park Heights ave- 

 nue, is building two small houses for 

 carnations and violets. 



Frederick Beitz, of Franklintown, Bal- 

 timore county, was fired upon by a col- 

 ored man whom he found sleeping in his 

 hay loft. Mr. Beitz had a desperate 

 struggle with the man and only saved 

 himself by knocking his hand upward, 

 which sent the bullet wild. The negro 

 jumped down the steps, ran across the 

 road and disappeared in the woods on 

 the opposite side. 



Mrs. Perry, the mother of J. J. Perry, 

 manager of the Florists* Exchange, is 

 critically ill at Frederick. Mr. Perry 

 went to her bedside Tuesday and had 

 not returned, and it was feared that he 

 might not be able to go with the boys to 

 the convention. Q.
