BALTIMOBE. 



The Market. 



The Memorial day demand for cut 

 flowers was large. Indeed, the volume 

 of business was only limited by the 

 supply. These unusual conditions were 

 dne to the cool, cloudy weather, with 

 several heavy wind storms which played 

 havoc with outside stock, especially pe- 

 onies. Friday and Saturday found 

 heavy demands for cheap grades of all 

 kinds of cut stock. The weather was 

 exceedingly warm, with the thermome- 

 ter registering around 80 degrees. 



Carnations were in heavy supply and 

 brought from 1 to 2 cents each. Their 

 average quality was only fair. All col- 

 ors were wanted; even those who usu- 

 ally have their own carnations were 

 buyers. Peonies were to be seen on 

 every stand, but were in bad shape, 

 being too ripe and badly bruised by 

 the wind. Anything resembling roses 

 or carnations, tied up in bunches, sold 

 well. There were plenty of callas and 

 longiflorums, which sold remarkably 

 well. Sprengeri, plumosus, sniilax and 

 ferns were in demand. 



Pot plants were eagerly sought after 

 and the supply was small. In this class 

 of stock, geraniums, hydrangeas and 

 rose bushes in bloom took the lead. 

 For several years there has been an 

 increasing custom of purchasing potted 

 plants in bloom for Memorial day pur- 

 poses. The fact that Memorial day 

 this year came on Monday greatly ac- 

 celerated this demand and the supply 

 of bedding plants of all kinds was al- 

 most exhausted. In years past, small 

 potted geraniums, heliotropes, verbenas, 

 petunias and similar selections have 

 suflSced to meet the popular cry; this 

 year there has been a constant call and 

 ready sale for potted plants, such as 

 hydrangeas, roses and rhododendrons 

 of the better class. 



The month of May M'as a highly sat- 

 isfactory month for business. The sales 

 of plants ran far ahead of last year, 

 and the same held true with cut flow- 

 ers. Crops were good and stock held 

 out well. There was an oversupply of 

 rain, plenty of high winds and enough 

 sunshine. The heavj' rain May 24, with 

 one of the worst wind storms^ did great 

 damage to fruit and shade trees. The 

 market gardeners who had crops plant- 

 ed in low places were hard hit; other- 

 wise mark<>t products look promising.
