BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



Business has fallen off considerably 

 and so also has the stock of flowers, 

 the exception being sweet peas, which 

 appear to be rather plentiful and are 

 .selling at from 25 to 40 cents per hun- 

 dred. Carnations are beginning to 

 shorten up and those that arrive are 

 exceptionally poor in most cases. 



The copious rains of the last few 

 days, when as much as three inches 

 fell in twenty-four hours, have ham- 

 mered the life out of outside stock. 

 The temperature has been in the neigh- 

 borhood of 90 degrees every day, and 

 it is not hard to guess what this is 

 doing to stock in greenhouses. Many 

 growers are throwing out the carna- 

 tions and the roses are so small that 

 it hardly pays to cut them. There is a 

 little good stock coming in, but even 

 that does not sell well, and if it were 

 not for the school commencements of 

 last week there would be practically 

 nothing doing. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. James Glass sailed for Ireland 

 Saturday, June 24, with her three chil- 

 dren. Mrs. Glass will be gone about 

 ten weeks. 



Charles Seybold and wife are in Ger- 

 many on a pleasure trip. 



Mrs. G. A. Lotze, of Glenburnie, Md.,

 but is improving and will be able to 

 be taken to her home in a few days.

MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Last Aveek was, indeed, a busy time 

 for all. The supply in all lines was 

 large, but with tlie numerous com- 

 mencement exercises, plus the wedding 

 and funeral orders, stock was cleaned up 

 in good shape. This being the last 

 W'eek iu June, many of the florists' 

 best friends will leave for their sum- 

 mer homes, thus putting the finishing 

 touches on the season ]91()-11. 



Various Notes. 



Last W'eek we experienced the hottest 

 "weather thus far this season. .Tune 23 

 the thermometer registered 98 degrees 

 in the shade, helping to give those who 

 attended the singers' convention a 

 warm reception. Among the many 

 thousands of visitors the following flo- 



These Are the Little Liners That Do theBosiness 



rists called on their friends: Wm. F. 

 Kasting, Buffalo; A. Ringier, with W. 

 W. Barnard Co., Chicago; Fred 

 Rentschler, Madison, Wis., and Bernard 

 Koebele, Detroit. 



Thursday, July 6, is Florists' Club 

 meeting. The Quiet House, the former 

 meeting place of the club, is now a 

 thing of the past and new quarters 

 have not vet been chosen. 



The Mueller & Schroeder Co. still is 

 cutting carnations of really good qual- 

 ity; no red spider on them either.
