BALTIMOBE. 



The Market. 



Mothers' day was the feature of the 

 cut flower market during the week 

 ending May 13. The success of this 

 anniversary was remarkable. Last 

 year it made a pronounced hit, but 

 this year the popular observance so 

 far exceeded last year that there was 

 no comparison. The demand was so 

 great that the supply was entirely in- 

 adequate, despite the special prepara- 

 tion by our wholesale florists. 



The demand for white carnations 

 was greater than at Christmas or at 

 Easter, and of course this greatly 

 helped the cut flower market in other 

 lines, by bringing flower buyers to the 

 stores at a time when they were badly 

 needed. 



The rose crops are extremely heavy 

 just now, and it requires a good deal 

 of Exertion on the part of the growers 

 to keep the stock moving. Sweet peas 

 are less abundant, but some extra fine 

 ones are to be had in limited quanti- 

 ties. Good Darwin and other late tu- 

 lips are still seen and outdoor valley 

 is now at its best and, as its quality is 

 much ahead of the forced article, it is 

 in good demand. Good gladioli can 

 now be obtained. 



The bedding plant trade has taken 

 on new life and growers are kept on 

 the jump. Geraniums are still the 

 leaders and promise to be none too 

 plentiful, because of the scarcity of 

 stock last fall in this locality. 



Various Notes. 



Chas. Seybold is busy planting sev- 

 eral large private estates and finds 

 good stock exceedingly scarce. Mr. 

 Seybold is interested in the vacant lot 

 gardens. School children will be in- 

 structed as to the care and treatment 

 of all kinds of flowering plants and 

 each one will be given a chance to 

 win one of the numerous prizes offered 

 for the best appearing vacant lot 

 gardens. Q. 



Belfast, Me. — Willis E. Hamilton be- 

 gan business here twenty-six years ago 

 and has built up a substantial, prosper- 

 ous trade in cut flowers, plants and 

 vegetables. In the management of the 

 business he is ably assisted by Mrs. 

 Hamilton and their son, Everett. He 

 has two greenhouses at Cedar and 

 Franklin streets, and five greenhouses, 

 with two and one-half acres of land, 

 on Congress street.
