Our clay is mined from the old Morrow County Beaver Swamp, which enables tia to furnish florista with 

 pots noted for strength, porosity, beauty in color, lightness in weight and smoothness in surface, making 

 them especially adapted to the successful growth of plants. 



Our factory is equipped with new and up-to-date machinery. Our capacity is greater and our ware- 

 house full of stock. We are ready to give all orders prompt attention. Give us your order and we will

BAliTIMOBE. 



The Market. 



Last week was one of the most dis- 

 agreeable in the history of June, with 

 continuous heavy rains and chilly 

 nights, a direct reversal of the exces- 

 sive heat at the beginning of the month. 

 This being the commencement season, 

 however, there was more activity than 

 would otherwise have been the case, 

 and a large number of weddings and 

 receptions, with a good demand for 

 funeral work, all contributed to round- 

 ing out a good week. 



The unseasonable weather has been 

 injurious to bedding stock, and there is 

 a good demand for plants to replace 

 those previously set out, which have 

 failed to start oflf well, but the local 

 supply of good, sturdy plants is nearly 

 exhausted. 



One of the noticeable improvements 

 this season has been the large number 

 of rose bushes that have been sold. 



Various Notes. 



This city was visited by a disastrous 

 hail storm, Monday, June 12. Nearly 

 one-half of the florists were hard hit, 

 some places losing three-fourths of their 

 glass. Isaac H. Moss suffered damage 

 amounting to $8,000, James A. Hamil- 

 ton lost nearly $10,000, and F. C. Bauer, 

 Stevenson Bros., M. Thau, G. M, Cook 

 and C. J. Gregorius were also sufferers. 



The heaviest storm was around 

 Govanstown and Towson, where the hail- 

 stones were as large as walnuts. Thou- 

 sands of dollars' worth of plants were 

 ruined by the falling glass. Carnations 

 and all kinds of outdoor plants were 

 mowed to the ground and shrubbery 

 looked as though it had just been 

 pruned. There is a short, supply of 

 glass in Baltimore and a good deal of 

 it will be ordered from out of town. 



A. Spath, Jr., & Son, at Embla Park, 

 in this city, report considerable damage 

 to their greenhouses from the terrific 

 hail storm of Monday evening, June 

 12. About 1,500 panes, 16x18, were 

 broken out, but practically no growing 

 stock was damaged, as the storm came 

 just at the time when the greenhouses 

 were empty, prior to being filled with 

 mums and other fall crops. The dam- 

 age was estimated at about $500. An 

 order has been placed with the Pitts- 

 burgh Plate Glass Co. for sixty-one 

 boxes of 16x18 glass, with the putty and 

 other necessary materials, and the work 

 of rebuilding will begin at once. This 

 firm has been in Embla Park for only 

 two years. 



Deny, N. H.— W. J. Kingsbury's 

 Franklin street greenhouses were well 

 patronized during the Memorial sea- 

 son. Every flower that he could cut 

 was required for bouquets.
