Inclusive of his newly acquired prop- 

 erty, Mr. Best now owns greenhouses 

 that cover 50,000 square feet. During 

 the two years he has been in Sheridan 

 he has built greenhouses that cover 

 45,000 square feet and the remainder 

 he has acquired by this purchase. Mr. 

 Best will use the newly acquired build- 

 ings exclusively for winter tomatoes 

 and cucumbers. Lettuce, radishes, on- 

 ions, parsley, mint, cauliflower and spin- 

 ach will be grown in the other green- 

 houses. He will continue to grow cut 

 flowers and potted plants. 



Mr. Loucks will retire from the flo- 

 rists' business. The Sheridan Music & 

 Floral Co., of which Mr. Caple is man- 

 ager, will become the exclusive city 

 representative of the Best Floral Co. 



BALTIMOBE. 



The Market. 



Business, wholesale and retail, is ex- 

 ceedingly dull. August was a draggy 

 month, with an abundance of stock go- 

 ing to waste. At present cut flowers 

 are a glut, with loads going to the 

 dump. Asters are little called for; 

 stores and markets are pversupplied 

 and the flowers are sold at any price. 

 Boses are in good shape, but little 

 called for; the best fetch only $4 per 

 hundred. Dahlias are coming in heavily 

 and in only a short time the market 

 will be overstocked. Gladioli are ex- 

 tremely heavy in supply and many 

 are going to waste. 



Various Notes. 



E. A. Seidleich, of Woodlawn, is of- 

 fering his place for sale. He stood in 

 Lexington market for many years and 

 had a fine trade.

Frederick Beitz, of Franklintown, has 

 gone to California. He was one of the 

 largest bulb growers here. The busi- 

 ness will be carried on by his wife on 

 a smaller scale. 



The great Timonium Fair opened 

 September 4. Quite a few growers ex- 

 hibited flowers. John Cook entered 

 some fine garden grapes. 



H. Walters, of Arlington, has a nice 

 place that he is offering for sale, with 



his stand in the Lexington market. 

 The Eutaw Floral Co., 224 North 

 Eutaw street, opened its doors to the 

 public August 31; the store is an ideal 

 one, roomy and with a large show win- 

 dow. It is only half a block from Lex- 

 ington market and on one of the busiest 

 streets in the retail district. The open- 

 ing attracted large crowds. Many in 

 the trade called during the day, with 

 good wishes. Dan Blackiatone sent a
