E. A. Corson }ias a well arranged 

 store near the railroad depot and busi- 

 ness here continues satisfactory. 



BALTIMORE, MD. 



The Market.. 



Durin;^ the last week business has 

 shown a decrease over that of the week 

 before. Beauties were in good demand 

 the early part of the week, but during 

 the latter days sales were few. Valley 

 ■was in pretty much the same way, and 

 the price on this has advanced to $5 per 

 hundred. Beauties of second grade were 

 used in place of good pink roses, which 

 were not to be. had. Asters are about 

 over, none of any size being seen. White 

 roses and good pink, such as Radiance 

 and Maryland, were in good demand, 

 but in limited supply. Killarney is of- 

 fered at low figures for good stock, but 

 with few buyers. Dahlias are much bet- 

 ter than formerly, due to the cool nights 

 and a good rain the early part of last 

 week. Carnations are longer in stem, 

 but still small. They are faijrly well 

 bought up. There was a strong 'demand 

 for lilies, due to the scarcity of other 

 white flowers for funeral work. In sum- 

 mary, the week's business showed a 

 good demand for the better grades of 

 stock, with fair prices, but for ordinary 

 stock there were low rates and few 

 buyers. 



Club Meeting. 



One of the most interesting meetings 

 held by the club in some time was 

 called to order by President Johnston 

 September 28. There was a good at- 

 tendance. The main topic for the eve- 

 ning was whether the American Bose 

 Society should be invited to hold its 

 annual spring exhibition and meeting in 

 this city. The committee appointed at 

 the last meeting reported that after the 

 matter fiad been thoroughly discussed it 

 was deemed inadvisable to invite them 

 at the present time. The secretary was 

 instructed to so notify the proper au- 

 thorities. Treasurer Burger read his 

 quarterly report, which showed the club 

 to be in a substantial financial condi- 

 tion. The subject of delinquent mem- 

 bers was brought up by the financial 

 secretary and it was decided to notify 

 all members in arrears for one year's 

 dues that if they are not paid in thirty 

 days their names will be dropped from 

 the roll. In the meanwhile they stand 

 suspended' by the action ■ of the club. 

 Thomas Barker was elected a member. 



Edward Kress had some flowers of 

 different varieties of red roses suitable 

 for outdoor culture on the desk for the 

 benefit of those interested. Charles 

 Hochstead had on exhibition a hand- 

 Some silver loving cup which was 

 awarded him as first prize in the floral 

 auto parade held during the recent Star 

 Spangled Banner Centennial Celebra- 

 tion. 



It was decided, on motion of I. H. 

 Moss, to invite Cfity Forester Maxwell 

 t« address the club on the subject of 

 tree and shrub planting and kindred in- 

 terests at the next meeting. The ques- 

 tion box. was opened and some valuable 

 information gained. This is one of the 

 most interesting parts of the club's 

 meetings and should be more widely 

 used than it has been, for through it 

 questions on any subject of interest to 

 the trade can be taken iip and answered. 

 The subject of making the members at- 

 tend the meetings more regularly will 

 be maVIe "a special order for the neit 



meeting, when it is hoped a good crowd 

 will turn out. 



Various Notta. 



Lehr Bros, are sending some of the 

 first cuts of their new rose, Aurora, to 

 the Leo Niessen Co. This variety is a. 

 light pink ^ort of Maryl&hd. This'iib 

 the first season for it in this city. 



Samuel Feast & Sons had a fine lot 

 of Advance mums in the store window 

 last week. 



The first shipment of violets this sea- 

 son was received last week by the S. ,S. 

 Pennock-Meehan Co. Some extra fine 

 Beauties were also shown by this com- 

 pany, with stems forty-eight inches long 

 and blooms in proportion. 



Halliday Bros, had an attractive win- 

 dow decoration, composed of single 

 dahlias, snapdragons and goldenrod. 



Announcements of the marriage of 

 Sol. Uhlfelder and Miss Regina Truea- 

 man are being sent out. The bride- 

 groom is a familiar figure around the 

 wholesale stores and handles only the 

 better class of stock, such as Beauties, 

 valley, violets and orchids. >
