BALTIMORE. 



The Market 



There has been a good business done in 

 chrysanthemums this fall, but that the 

 supply has exceeded all demands is indi- 

 cated by the low average prices main- 

 tained. Stores and market stalls have 

 been full, and the street dealers have had 

 quantities to sell through the entire sea- 

 son. There seems to be a scarcity of 

 extra fine stock, the general run being of 

 medium grades. There will be one com- 

 mon note of satisfaction when they are 

 over. In quality and size some have ex- 

 ceeded anything seen here before. As to 

 the profits in their cultivation, many 

 growers believe the smaller sizes are 

 more satisfactory than the giants, which 

 find few uses, except for large decora- 

 tions. 



Roses are in excess of daily demands, 

 but the quality is advancing, and several 

 shippers are sending in stock they are 

 entitled to be proud of. Carnations are 

 more plentiful, and move fairly well. 

 Violets are neither abundant nor fine. 



The weather has been variable, but 

 generally bright some portions of each 

 day. There have been no rains and few 

 fogs. We have had several heavy frosts 

 which nearly caught some of the growers 

 who were taking chances on the weather 

 report. 



There have been some large weddings, 

 which called for some extra fine stock. 

 The fashionable balls will soon begin. 

 The funeral work makes up a large pro- 

 portion of the daily business. Q. 



Springfield, Mass. — Lewis Daniel 

 Robinson, Jr., was married November 

 3 to Miss Edna Smith Nash, of Ludlow, 

 Mass. They will return, after the wed- 

 ding trip, to their home at 175 North 

 Main street and will be at home to their 

 friends after January 1.

A good TUNE COMES out 



of AN OLD FIDDLE 



Do you want to be Buited? 



Do you need advice? To 

 whom will you go? Certainly 

 to the wise, experieneed, well- 

 known head, who got gray- 

 headed in the many years of 

 service in his profession, the 

 florist business. Godfrey Aschman, 

 the Philadelphia hustler, ia the man 

 who makes a special study of 

 the wants of his customers. He 

 always hits the nail on the head, 

 he knows the pocket book, the 

 means and the exact wants of 

 his customers and raises his 

 plants for them accordingly. 



TESTIMONY FROAI MICHBLL. 



I personany visited Mr. Aschmann's greenhouses September 21, 19C9, and found that the Aran- 

 cariaa. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, Boston, Wbitmani, Scottli^Amerpohlli, Todeaoldea 

 ferns, Kabber Plants, Kenttas and Arecas are indeed A No. 1. Have never seen any better 

 plants. The Gloire de Lorraine begonias in 6-in. pots are a perfect wonder, bushy and clean. Have 

 never seen bis greenhoufiefi filled with plants as good as they are now.
