BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The Memorial day business began in 

 earnest on Saturday, both in pot plants 

 and cut flowers. The general opinion 

 is that the volume of business will ex- 

 ceed that of all previous years. Prices 

 are lower, but the satisfaction to the 

 retailers and to the general public is 

 much greater than usual. Koses, car- 

 nations and peonies have formed the 

 bulk of the supply. Flowering shrub- 

 bery, often so important a factor for 

 Memorial day, was neglected this year, 

 possibly because everybody had his own. 



The crop of peonies was timed to a 

 day, good judges estimating that seventy- 

 five per cent of the local crop was ready. 

 The ruling price for good stock ranged 

 from $30 to $40 per thousand. Fancy 

 stock of P. festiva maxima and Prince 

 Nicholas brought exceptionally fine 

 prices. Something like two-thirds of the 

 flowers were white, while the remainder 

 of the supply was of the various shades 

 of pink. Few reds were to be seen. 



Carnations, unlike peonies, were 

 wanted in colors. A large proportion, 

 however, were white, which sold excep- 

 tionally well. Owing to the immense 

 crop of peonies, the prices on carnations 

 were lower than last year. Roses were 

 also more popular in colors than in 

 white, and a large demand was made for 

 pink of all shades. 



Some excellent lilies are in the mar- 

 ket. The quality stimulates the de- 

 mand. Sweet peas are in heavy supply, 

 but are not wanted, as they are faded 

 and hardly last a day. 



The bedding plant men have had an 

 excellent season, considering the long dry 

 spell. Many of the growers are prac- 

 tically sold out and much more stock 

 could have been sold for Memorial day 

 if in flower, but everything showing 

 color, particularly in the geranium line, 

 had been picked out as fast as it opened 

 during the last two weeks, so that much 

 of the stock delivered was not at all 

 showy. 



Various Notes. 



J. Bolgiano & Son report one of the 

 largest seasons in potted plants that 

 this firm has ever had. Their out-of- 

 town trade in potted plants has grown 

 to immense proportions. Over 60,000 

 potted roses have been sold this season, 

 besides 48,000 geraniums, and of scarlet 

 sage and pansies there is no end. 



R. A. Vincent reports one of the larg- 

 est seasons the firm has had in potted 

 plants and roots. Q.
