The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mat 25, 1911. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. ' * • ' Iv, 

 Last week the somewhat overdue an- 

 nual spring glut put in its appearance, 

 and practically all lines of stock be- 

 cariie overabundant. Carnations held 

 their own fairly well until toward the 

 end of the week, when prices melted 

 away. The overstock was most serious 

 in roses, and carnations led the proces- 

 sion downward. It is noteworthy that 

 the crops have been fairly heavy and 

 that the quality has deteriorated until 

 only a small part is really first-class. 



This week started with carnations at 

 a rather lower level than at any time 

 last week, and with no improvement 

 in the rose situation. Sweet peas also 

 congest the market, but the better 

 grades are selling remarkably well, 

 when the general situation is taken 

 into account. There are large receipts 

 of excellent peas and satisfactory prices 

 are received for them. 



Peonies are not in heavy supply at 

 present, but the outlook is promising 

 for Decoration day, which will soon 

 be upon us. The prospects for a rat- 

 tling good business have never been 

 better, and with anything like good 

 weather there ought to be a good sup- 

 ply of first-class stock of just the kind 

 that the buyers want for that day. 



The last few years have taught us 

 that Decoration day business is good 

 business, and that it is wise to be pre- 

 pared for it just as well as for Easter 

 and Christmas. Each year this business 

 has grown till now it usually cleans out 

 everything that comes into the market. 

 Owing to the extremely dry weather, 

 the peony crop will not be quite as 

 heavy as in previous years, but we 

 hope to have enough to take care of 

 the business. Q.
