The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Jdnb 24, 1909. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market 



Few words are required to describe 

 the conditions of the cut flower trade. It 

 is a thing of shreds and patches; what 

 is wanted no one has, and what one has 

 nobody wants. Good roses are- scarce, 

 and even the poor ones are not more 

 abundant than satisfactory. Those which 

 come over from the City of Brotherly 

 Love are in the same condition. Com- 

 mencements are over, and now there re- 

 main only the few customary summer 

 decorative demands, and the never re- 

 mitting, but always irregular, calls for 

 funerals. 



For the last ten days we have had al- 

 most daily heavy downpours of rain. 

 Outdoor stock has been much damaged. 

 Carnations have begun to show the ef- 

 fects of the hot weather. 



The commencement season, which is 

 about over, took a great many flowers. 

 It would seem that all the colleges and 

 schools had larger classes than usual, 

 and there is no disposition to hold back 

 the floral tokens which bespeak the good 

 wishes and felicitations of loving friends 

 to the young folks. A few institutions 

 frown on the custom, but there is an ap- 

 propriateness in giving flowers which 

 makes them still the favorite means of 

 expressing the interest and pleasure of 

 their senders. 



V«fioui Notes. 



G. A. Lotze, of Glen Burnie, had one 

 of his finest patches of sweet peas ruined 

 by hail on Thursday, June 17. He has 

 been cutting about 10,000 every morning 

 and the hail cut all the young growth off. 



Certain varieties of mum stock seem 

 to be exceptionally scarce this season, 

 due mostly to having stock frozen in 

 coldframes. 



Halliday Bros, have planted about 20,- 

 000 asters inside this season, which are 

 looking exceptionally fine. They have a 

 large stock of their new fern, Thomas- 

 onii, which is creating quite a sensation. 

 It will take several houses to hold them 

 when they are repotted. They have had 

 several fine offers for the entire stock. 

 They have one specimen which is in a 

 12-inch pot and any number in 6-inch and 

 8-inch pots. 



The picnic of the Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club, which is to be held July 15, 

 rain or shine, at Bay Shore Park, will be 

 one of the largest gatherings the club 

 has ever had, and the bowlers will have 

 the time of their life. 



Eobt. L. Graham and wife are to take 

 a trip to Yellowstone Park and the Pa- 

 cific coast. 



The park board is about to award the 

 contract for 70,000 pansy plants. Q.
