The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Januabz 20, 1910. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market 



The weather, upon which the florists' 

 trade so closely depends, continues wintry 

 and exceptionally trying, the records of 

 the weather bureau showing that this 

 winter has been exceedingly severe from 

 December 1 to January 15. The average 

 temperature for this time has been 26.3 

 degrees, which is 5 or 6 degrees below 

 the normal mean temperature for that 

 period. In ordinary seasons in this sec- 

 tion, after a cold spell of two or three 

 days, there is a thaw, followed by a 

 spring-like interval of a few days, but 

 this year the cold has been unremitting 

 and snow has covered the ground for 

 weeks. Fortunately, one favorable fea- 

 ture was the few cloudy days, the atmos- 

 phere generally being clear and inspiring. 



Koses are coming in better and are 

 moved without much trouble. Carnations 

 seem to be in full crop with a great many 

 growers, judging by the appearance of 

 the street fakers on Saturday, who were 

 loaded down with them at 25 cents per 

 dozen. Sweet peas are coming in large 

 quantities and are eagerly .sought after. 

 Daffodils have arrived and some extra 

 fine Golden Spur are to be had at 3^^ 

 cents. Violets are not so good as they 

 were before Christmas. They are chiefly 

 from New York and are mostly of the 

 single varieties. 



Various Notes. 



The Baltimore Florists' Exchange held 

 its annual meeting and election on Jan- 

 uary 10 and the following directors and 

 officers were elected for the ensuing year : 

 President and director, I. H. Moss; vice- 

 president, F. C. Bauer; secretary, P. B. 

 Welsh; treasurer, C. E. Akehurst; di- 

 rectors, F, C. Burger, Wm. Lehr, E. L. 

 Graham. Manager J. J. Perry reports 

 that this year's business was the largest 

 and most profitable in the history of the 

 concern. 



At the club meeting January 10, F. C. 

 Bauer had on exhibition President Taft 

 begonia, which was much admired, as was 

 also some of his new seedling mignonette, 

 which was of immense size and stem. 



James Hamilton gave a talk on green- 

 house heating. He has just finished a 

 large cement propagating bench, 150 feet 

 long, for carnations. Q. 



Wheeling, W. Va. — Zane & Son be- 

 long to an historic family. Ebenezer 

 Zane's log cabin, built in 1769, was the 

 first building put up in Wheeling, and it 

 was to this cabin Elizabeth Zane made 

 her famous dash for powder during the 

 siege of Fort Henry by the British and 

 Indians.
