BALTtMOSE. 



The Market 



We have had a week of wintry weather, 

 the mercury coquetting with the zero 

 mark for several mornings. This is in 

 marked contrast with the most of the pre- 

 ceding weeks. But so far there has been 

 little sunshine, and the poor quality of 

 the flowers offered shows the effect of 

 these untoward conditions. Trade has 

 been fairly maintained and the only 

 drawback has been the impossibility of 

 supplying the cut flowers. 



Boses are improving in quality all 

 around. So, zdso, are violets, which find 

 ready sale, especially those offered by 

 the street fakers, who handle large con- 

 signments on each Saturday. Carnations 

 seem to be off crop with a number of 

 the growers. Daffodils are improving 

 and some good Golden Spur are to be 

 seen, but not in large quantities. Freesias 

 are arriving in fine shape. Sweet peas 

 seem to be overdone; (everybody has a 

 bench in bloom and they are only bring- 

 ing 40 cents to 50 cents per hundred. 



McBanley day seemed to have no in- 

 fluence here on carnation sales. One or 

 two of the street fakers invested in a few 

 hundred blooms, but this was about the 

 only evidence of the advent of the day, 

 except that the heroic bronze bust of 

 McKinley, in the lobby of the city post- 

 office, was decorated with some handsome 

 garlands of his favorite flower. 



Variota Note*. 



The coming season seems to promise 

 to be an active one in building opera- 

 tions, and in every direction there are 

 preparations for new houses or extensions 

 of existing plants. 



Halliday Bros, are propagating carna- 

 tions by the thousands and expect to 

 plant more houses the coming season. 

 Some of the finest blooms seen any- 

 where were cut at their place. 



J. Bolgiano & Son report business far 

 above last season's trade, especially in 

 seed orders in both the flower and vege- 

 table departments, and they are making 

 preparations for a large spring trade in 

 potted plants. Q. 



Beistol, Tenn. — By making the neces- 

 sary amendment to its charter, the D. S. 

 Simpson Floral Co. will change its cor- 

 porate name to the Bristol Floral Co.

Dear Sir : I believe that oar Kreenbouse 

 men are keeping their houses more free from 

 }ice and insects, with less expense, by using 

 TO-BAK-INE Powder than they did when 

 they were using tobacco dust. We have quit 

 trying to sell tobacco dust since they are 

 using TO-BaK-INE products.
