The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



June 8, 1911. 



BALTIMOBE. 



The Market. 



Last week's business was fair as to 

 volume, with the seasonable and in- 

 evitable dowhward tendency of prices, 

 and the stocks on hand at the end were 

 closed out by liber'al concessions on 

 figures, but we now seem to have 

 reached the acme of dullness. At this 

 writing, June 3, the Baltimore Flo- 

 rists' Exchange is loaded up with all 

 kinds of flowers, with few buyers, and 

 the street men are wary of purchasing 

 in heavy lots. Peonies are to be had 

 at a low figure and are arriving from 

 every point of the compass. 



While there are a number of small 

 wedding decorations called for, the big 

 jobs are few and far between. A num- 

 ber of our society buds are being mar- 

 ried, but they are not making as much 

 show this year as in the past. With 

 all holidays now behind us, and only 

 commencement exercises and June wed- 

 dings to foilow, the present season is 

 coming to an end, after which time 

 alterations, vacations, etc., are in order. 



Various Notes. 



Halliday Bros., who conduct one of 

 the oldest florists' establishments in 

 Baltimore, have disposed of all of their 

 greenhouses and land, and the prop- 

 erty will be improved with cottages. 

 Halliday Bros, were among the largest 

 growers of carnations in Baltimore. 



Q.. 



WATERBUEY, CONN. 



The Market. 



Business last week was most satis- 

 factory, l^ineral work has been 

 heavy. June weddings are now de- 

 manding large supplies of peas and 

 valley, both of which are scarce. Not 

 only is business active, but prices re- 

 main up. Peonies are abundant. 

 Memorial day business was much 

 greater than most florists looked for- 

 ward to. Everything in cut flowers 

 and bedding plants was readily sold. 

 Lilacs were gone. Some iris and snow- 

 balls were about all the garden stock 

 obtainable. 



The florists are now looking forward 

 to the June weddings and high school 

 commencements. 



Various Notes. 



Alexander Dallas had his stores on 

 Grand street and North Main street 

 prettily arranged for the Decoration 

 day trade, which kept his help on the 

 jump for a few days. 



The Flower Shop, at 144 Bank street, 

 did a big business in cut flowers. 



Saxe & Floto certainly got their 

 share of sales, both in cut flowers and 

 bedding plants. B. 



Bluffton, Ind. — Myers & Co. 's spring 

 business has far exceeded that of last 

 year, especially in bedding plants.
