The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Fbbbdary 22, 1912. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The Valentine's day business served 

 to give the wholesale market renewed 

 strength, for the volume of sales was 

 quite satisfactory, considering the 

 stormy weather which we have been 

 having. While large quantities of stock 

 were moved, prices did not advance 

 greatly, because of the large supply in 

 practically every line except roses. 

 The number of violets sold was some- 

 thing tremendous. Practically every 

 retailer made some special effort in the 

 way of window decorations of heart- 

 shaped and other boxes of flowers and 

 business done at retail was satisfactory. 



Carnations are in oversupply and 

 jjrices are on the down grade, although 

 flowers are of fine quality. Sweet peas 

 are a glut, but of excellent quality, with 

 ten to twelve inches of stem; thousands 

 were sold on the streets Saturday. 



Bulbous stock is in heavy supply and 

 prices are lower. Some good narcissi 

 are now coming in, and, tulips are arriv- 

 ing with better stem,s and move fairly 

 Avell. All bulbous stock is cheap and 

 it is no wonder th&t the bulb sales- 

 njeii from Holland, who now are so 

 numerous in town, find the buyers slow 

 to place orders. 



Various Notes. 



The twenty-fifth anniversary^bf the 

 Florists* Club will be celebrated with 

 a banquet at Mt. Holly Inn March 11. 

 It is expected that about 300 will at- 

 tend, including the ladies and a large 

 number of out-of-town guests. Robert 

 li. Graham, president of the club, was 

 ambitious to see 200 members in the 

 <lub before March 11, and since this 

 has been accomplished he has been 

 more than pleased. 



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

 Marsh, reports one of the heaviest de- 

 mands for geraniums that they ever 

 had, shipping thousands daily.
