Baltimore and go in a body. All those 

 who would like to go in this way 

 should communicate with Mr. Vincent 

 before May 5, as -Mr. Vincent will on 

 this date confer with the florists of 

 Washington. 



Various Notes. 



Geo. V. Smith, whose store at 2118 

 Madison avenue will be taken over by 

 Pierce & Co., has opened another store 

 at 1130 West North avenue, in the 

 vicinity of his former store. 



F. J. Michell, of the H. F. Michell 

 Co., Philadelphia, called on the trade 

 here last week in the interest of his 

 firm. 



Great interest is being shown by the 

 local trade in the flower mart which 

 is to be held May 12 at Mount Vernon 

 place. A large number of florists have 

 signified their intention of erecting 

 booths and making a large display. As 

 this movement is about to be copied 

 by at least two large eastern cities, 

 which will send representatives to 

 view the display, it is to be hoped that 

 every florist in the city will be in at- 

 tendance with a good exhibit of both 

 plants and cut flowers. Booths will be 

 furnished free by the Women's Civic 

 League, which has the affair in charge. 

 A commission of twenty per cent on 

 the gross sales is all that is asked, 

 which, compared with the fifty per cent 

 asked on former occasions, should be 

 an inducement to those who hereto- 

 fore have not been represented. 



The Walter R. Siebrecht Co., of New 

 York, which has conducted a whole- 

 sale commission business at 200 West 

 Mulberry street, has withdrawn from 

 business in this city, and in its place 

 the Baltimore Wholesale Cut Flower 

 Co. will carry on the business. This 

 concern was recently incorporated, with 

 a capital stock of $25,000. Those 

 named in the incorporation papers were 

 Walter A. Siebrecht, of New York; 

 Irving Jaffee and Thos. F. McMahon, 

 of Baltimore. J. A. Barker will con- 

 tinue as manager for the new firm. 



The Meyer-Stisser Co. reports a 

 large business in seeds and poultry 

 supplies. 



The Baltimore News, through its 

 various agencies, has disposed of over 

 25,000 packets of assorted flower seeds 

 during the present spring. These are 

 sold at 1 cent per packet, to promote 

 the growing of flowers in the back

Beaver Falls, Pa. — J. J. Bolton finds 

 his two places none too big to accom-

COLEUS FOB CIBCUIiAB BED. 



I have two large, round flower beds 

 to make up this spring, about twenty- 

 two feet across. The central part of 

 each circle is to be red and to contain 

 the word "Lorain." The outside is to 

 be as nearly all white as possible and 

 to have the words "Safety First" 

 worked in. The bed is to be made up 

 of coleus. Can you give me the names 

 of the best coleus plants for the pur- 

 pose and also tell me how closely they 

 should be planted. J. W. G. 



I do not know of any coleus that
