BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The weather during last week was a 

 record-breaker for rain and cold nights. 

 With a temperature of 45 degrees, every- 

 thing in the planting line was at a 

 standstill. 



The cut flower business, as is usual at 

 this season of the year, has been greater 

 in volume than in monetary value, al- 

 though there has been some funeral 

 work which made heavy calls for good 

 stock. The June weddings, also, are 

 fairly numerous and some have calls 

 for elaborate floral displays. 



The quality of roses is not improving 

 and many that come in are hard to 

 move. From now on growers will be 

 pulling them out and shipments will 

 necessarily diminish. The dealers on 

 the streets are selling them at 1 cent 

 each. Carnations are still abundant 

 and in fairly good shape, but this is due 

 wholly to the cool weather. 



Various Notes. 



Thomas H. White will give an ad- 

 dress at the meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club, June 13, on "Fer- 

 tilizers for the Greenhouse." 



Richard Vincent, Jr., has arrived 

 home from his trip to Belgium and Hol- 

 land, where he inspected some of the 

 largest nurseries there. He will give 

 the club an illustrated lecture on his 

 trip and what he saw at the Haarlem 

 show and the bulb fields. He is work- 

 ing hard on the summer outing of the 

 Maryland State Horticultural Society, 

 which is to be held at Harrison's 

 Nurseries, at Berlin, Ind., in the near 

 future. Mr. Vincent has planted thirty 

 acres in dahlias this season. 



James Hamilton, of Mount Washing- 

 ton, has had one of the busiest seasons 

 in pot plants that he has known for 

 many months. He is shipping thousands 

 of mums all over the country. Q. 



Wichita, Kan. — Carter Bros., of this 

 city, have purchased sixteen lots at the 

 corner of Pearce street and Central 

 avenue, in the northwest part of the 

 city, and will there erect a large resi- 

 dence and a range of greenhouses. Four 

 greenhouses, each 30x150, will be built 

 at once, and will be among the finest in 

 this part of the state.
