The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Septbmbbh 17, 1908. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



There are ripples of business here and 

 there on the quiet summer sea of busi- 

 ness, indicating that fall has come. and 

 acting as forerunners of increased 

 activity. There are good days and bad 

 ones, with just enough of the former to 

 keep the latter from becoming unduly 

 ^pressing. There is an excess of ar- 

 rivals, which makes cleaning out more 

 than a problem, and much goes to the 

 ash barrel. Asters rule the market and 

 there is a good sale for white and pink, 

 but purple and red are at present en- 

 tirely too numerous to keep pace in price 

 with the lighter shades. 



Dahlias are scarce and find ready sale. 

 The shortage is due mostly to the dry 

 season, which caused them to make poor 

 growth. One of the largest growers of 

 dahlias has not shipped any so far and 

 has poor prospects of shipping any, on 

 account of the aster bugs. 



Some fine blooms of My Maryland 

 have been sold at the Florists' Exchange 

 and were eagerly bought up. This rose 

 seems to meet all the requirements of 

 the commercial grower. 



Various Notes. 



The park board has decided to abandon 

 the greenhouses at Carroll park, and 

 expects to offer them for sale in the 

 near future, believing that enough plants 

 can be grown in the other districts to 

 take care of Carroll park district. The 

 range of glass is a large one, and it 

 also has a large collection of cacti which 

 belongs to the Cacti Club, housed in sev- 

 eral houses. , 



The Florists' Exchange has handled 

 a large number of carnation plants and 

 finds a steady demand for the leading 

 varieties. It handles a full line of flo- 

 rists' supplies for the greenhouse, and 

 the plant department is filled with a fine 

 variety of decorative plants, 



Hugo Walther, of Park Heights ave- 

 nue, has been cutting extra fine asters 

 and finds a ready sale at his stand in 

 Lexington market. 



A. C. Snyder, of Towson, is building a 

 small conservatory, 18x50 feet. Q. 



Stafford Springs, Conn. — J. J. 

 Braun has resumed the management of 

 the Baker greenhouses.

 home from a pleasant outing in camp 

 at the Snow islands, at the head of Lake 

 Michigan.
