The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Januaby 11, 1912. 



BALTIMOBE. 



The Market. 



At last a real touch of winter ia 

 on us, and the thermometer is flirting 

 with the zero point. A blizzard came 

 down on us January 5, with a heavy 

 snow and high winds, and continued 

 low temperatures prevail. Trade still 

 is holding its own. There has been a 

 great deal of funeral work and this 

 has kept everybody hustling. 



Soses have been a little off crop 

 lately and the continued cloudy weather 

 has made stock extremely soft. Carna- 

 tions are coming in nieely, but the de- 

 mand more than equals the supply, espe- 

 cially in white, which has been in heavy 

 request for work. Sweet peas are not 

 any too plentiful and the demand is 

 good. 



The sale for potted plants has been 

 quite heavy and a nice lot of plants is 

 moved right along. Azaleas, cyclamens 

 and primroses are the favorites at pres- 

 ent. There is also a good call for ferns, 

 in which the Bostons, Piersoni and 

 Whitmani take the lead. Greens have 

 been a little scarce for the last few 

 weeks, and it is hard to get enough to 

 go around. 



Various Notes. 



E. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., of White 

 Marsh, Md., is contemplating the erec- 

 tion of a modern building for the stor- 

 ing of dahlia and canna roots. It will 

 be built so as to make it possible to 

 ^rive teams through the center. The 

 company has had difficulty in finding 

 space to store the enormous quantities of 

 bulbs and roots. The building will be 

 60x300 feet, with a glass roof. The 

 <;oncern also will erect several new 

 greenhouses. About forty acres of 

 cannas will be planted next season. 

 The demand hsis been exceptionalliy 

 heavy this fall. E. A. Vincent has 

 been suffering from an attack of the 

 grip, but was well enough to go to 

 Detroit this week. 



James Boone, assistant superintend- 

 ent of parks, was presented with a 

 sterling silver fruit dish by the Mary- 

 land State Horticultural Society, as a 

 token of appreciation of the way the 

 plans were laid for the recent horticul- 

 tural show held in the Fifth Eegiment 

 armory. Q. 



New Hamburg, N. Y. — Henry Oster- 

 houdt, superintendent for W. P. Clyde, 

 speaks highly of Carnation Princess 

 Oharming, both for yield and beauty. 

 Bountiful is still the best white here. 

 A house of 600 Enchantress produced 

 a cut of 1,600 blooms during Decem- 

 ber, which is believed to be a record.
