BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



Last week was ideal as to weather, but 

 the market was weak. It was high tide 

 on the chrysanthemum river, and all its 

 tributaries seemed to empty into the Bal- 

 timore market. Prices dropped below real 

 values. In consequence, every retail store 

 was decorated, the Exchange was full of 

 fine stock, and the street corners were 

 made veritable flower shows by the gentry 

 of the pavements. 



Eoses are lower and of better quality, 

 which seems an unfair condition, and one 

 that weather alone can remedy. All vari- 

 eties of flowers felt the overabundance of 

 chrysanthemums. Carnations are plenti- 

 ful and seem druggy. Some fine lilies are 

 seen, which find ready sale. There are 

 large quantities of greens, especially as- 

 paragus and smilax. Wild smilax has 

 been tabooed in the large department 

 stores by the fire underwriters, who claim 

 that when dry it is inflammable. This 

 embargo should be removed at once, as 

 there is absolutely no danger from this 

 form of decoration, at least much less 

 than from the bunting and other light 

 cotton goods that are constantly used for 

 decoration and display in all the large 

 stores. 



Various Notes. 



The school board has ordered plans pre- 

 pared for the Agricultural High School 

 to be built at Glencoe. This will be the 

 first institution of the kind established 

 in Baltimore county. Besides the ordi- 

 nary branches, a thorough agricultural 

 course will be taught. 



Halliday Bros, have a house of fine 

 poinsettias which will be about right for 

 Christmas. 



Andrew L. Black, aged 67 years, died 

 Wednesday, November 18, of infirmities 

 of old age at his home at Lutherville, 

 where he had been engaged in business 

 for many years. He formerly had a large 

 range of glass on Chase street, but dis- 

 posed of it for residence purposes, keep- 

 ing a store at the old location. He is sur- 

 vived by a widow, one daughter, and three 

 sons, who were associated in business with 

 him. Mr. Black was a native of Scot- 

 land. 



C. C. Hoffman has some of the finest 

 callas to be seen anywhere and is cutting 

 large quantities of blooms. Q.

Interior Painting is a Nuisance 



And right there is another U-Bar strong point, for all the interior 

 iron parts (and that means practically every interior part but 

 the doors) are given a coat of gltetening aluminum paint— a 

 paint that continues to glisten and is just as good years after- 

 ward—not even a speck of mildew is in sight in one of our 

 houses painted six years ago. 



But that is only one U-Bar strong point — to it, add increased 

 lightness, unmatched productiveness, greatest endurance— these 

 in combination go to make up the highest type of greenhouse 

 construction— the U-Bar. Send for catalog. 



The ideal construction for private estates, parks, 

 public institutions and florists' showrooms.

At the 

 First National Flower Show 



The Cypress Greenhouse captured almost 9 out of 10 

 of the prizes offered. In some classes the Cypress 

 houses took all the prizes offered. Exhibitors com- 

 peted from all parts of the country and the result 

 shows beyond all doubt that the Cypress house can 

 produce as high grade stock as the iron-frame house, 

 or any other kind. 



Don't build another house until 

 you investigate our construction.
