ThcWcckly Florists^ Review. 



December 21, 1911. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The Christmas rush promises to equal, 

 if not exceed, that of last year. Every- 

 body appears to have as much as he 

 can attend to, even with extra help. 

 The stores are all bountifully decorated, 

 their wealth of red wreaths and bells 

 making a great show. Made-up baskets, 

 hampers and pans of poinsettias are 

 much in evidence, some of the creations 

 being quite pretty, and should sell 

 rapidly. 



The stock of cut flowers promises to 

 be equal to the demand. After the ex- 

 perience of last year, when the market 

 was cleaned up so thoroughly the day 

 before Christmas, it is hard to predict 

 that it will not happen again. 



Prices on all stocks will probably 

 range about the same as last season, 

 with the exception of immortelles, which 

 will not be handled so extensively on 

 account of the high prices. Carnations 

 will be high and scarce for Christmas, 

 bringing from 4 to 8 cents, while good 

 roses have been scarce and are bring- 

 ing from 5 to 8 cents. Violets are 

 bringing from $1 to $2 per hundred. 



Greens are good and in big demand, 

 but holly is not as good as last season 

 nor as heavily berried. Mistletoe is 

 good and well berried. There is a heavy 

 demand for good ferns of .all sizes. 

 Cyclamens are not overplentiful this 

 season and fine plants are hard to find 

 at any price. 



Various Notes. 



James Hamilton, of Mt. Washington, 

 is placing orders for material for an- 

 other large greenhouse like the one he 

 erected this season. It is one of the 

 finest ever put up in the state and is 

 used for roses. Mr. Hamilton is one 

 of the largest growers of roses and 

 carnations around Baltimore. Chas. M. 

 Wagner is manager for him. 



E. A. Vincent, Jr., & Son's Co. is 

 shipping cannas by the carload and re- 

 ports one of the best seasons this fall 

 for early orders to be shipped at once. 

 Their geranium stock is extra good and 

 many orders for all kinds of bedding 

 stock are being received. Q. 



Mittineague, Mass. — George Cooley is 

 installing a big new boiler in his green- 

 houses. 



St. Stephen, N. B., Can.— J. R. Seder- 

 quest has moved into new quarters ad- 

 joining the Windsor hotel.
