The Weekly Florists' Review* 



OcTOBEm 28, 1900. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



Last week was marked by a continua- 

 tion of good business, and the prospect 

 is that there will be no let-up. While 

 some days are better than others, the 

 general average is well up to other years, 

 if not a trifle better. Funeral work con- 

 stitutes the main demand and it is the 

 general report from all retail stores that 

 society is unusually quiet this fall. 



The mums are holding the lead, as is 

 usual at this season of the year. They 

 are coming in nicely. Some of the fine 

 ones brought $3 per dozen, wholesale. 

 The market is well supplied with nearly 

 all colors and sizes. Pink seems to be 

 a little scarce and consequently sells out 

 best and averages the highest in price. 

 Carnations are coming in more abun- 

 dantly just now and are being handled 

 in large quantities. Roses are overplen- 

 tiful and are hard to move at any price, 

 but are handled by the thousands on the 

 street corners. Violets are arriving in 

 large quantities and are in fine shape. 

 They are mostly single. 



Ferns are being supplied by nearly 

 every grower and are hard to move. 

 Wherever you look you see a large back- 

 ground of ferns, both in market and in 

 the department stores. 



Various Notes. 



Eobert L. Graham, one of our promi- 

 nent growers, gave a talk on his western 

 trip at the club meeting on Monday 

 night, October 25, which was well at- 

 tended. A fine display of new mums was 

 shown. 



G. A. Lotze, of Glen Burnie, has been 

 sending in some of the finest mums seen 

 this season. 



The park board will plant large quan- 

 tities of bulbs and pansies in the parks 

 and squares this fall. Clifton park will 

 have a large mum show in about ten 

 days, with about 1,400 pot plants of all 

 varieties. This is expected to be one 

 of the finest displays ever seen in any 

 of the public parks. Q. 



Atlanta, Ga. — This city was visited 

 by a terrific hailstorm, Thursday, Octo- 

 ber 14, and the greenhouses were prob- 

 ably the heaviest sufferers. The storm 

 was the worst ever recorded here. The 

 Dahl Floral Co., at Boulevard and For- 

 rest avenue, reports a loss between $2,500 

 and $3,000. The Brookwood Co., the At- 

 lanta Floral Co. and the Westview Green- 

 houses also sustained a heavy loss from 

 breaking glass. The Ponce de Leon Flo- 

 ral Co., according to its owner, J. P. 

 Matthiessen, suffered damage that will 

 probably reach $5,000.

SEEING IS BELIEVING 



Therefore we ask everyone interested in Carnations to come and see 

 our new white Carnation Shasta growing. Plants benched early in 

 August are in full crop now, carrying from 10 to 20 buds per plant. 

 Have been cutting good blooms since Sept. 15. As a money making 

 carnation it has no equal. The quality is right, too. Scored 85 points 

 at Indianapolis, April 11, 1908; 85 points, Indianapolis, Jan. 12, 

 1909; 89 points, A. C. S., at Indianapolis, January 27-28, 1909. 

 Traveled to Boston, Mass., in Feb., 1909, and scored 87 points; 89 

 points at Springfield, 111., in March, 1909. Never scored less than 85 

 points. You can see it growing at either Indianapolis or Tewksbury.
