BAI.TIMOBE. 



The Market. 



Trade at the present writing is good, 

 but stock is extremely scarce and 

 Aver^thing in the cut flower line is sold 

 at sight, and it is a difScult matter to 

 obtain enough stock for orders. Asters 

 are done for, and we are now waiting 

 £or chrysanthemums to put in their ap- 

 jiearance, which will be in about a 

 week. They will be decidedly welcome. 



Boses are only fair in quality, as a 

 great many are mildewed. We are re- 

 ceiving some nice carnations, but they 

 are not in sufiScient supply to meet the 

 demand. Dahlias are in moderate sup- 

 ply, and ferns are the best sellers at 

 present. Cosmos has made its appear- 

 ance and was a welcome addition on 

 Saturday, 



Various Notes. 



The dahlia show of R. Vincent, Jr., & 

 Sons Co. this year was a great success. 

 These annual events have come to be 

 regarded as the floricultural feature of 

 the autumn in this community, and 

 many visitors are attracted. The Gar- 

 deners' & Florists' Club attended the 

 show Tuesday, September 27, In all, 

 over 7,000 visitors saw the display, 

 whieb was marvelous, considering the 

 extremely dry season. 



There has been much building in hand 

 this fall, in spite of the high cost of 

 materials and the scarcity of labor. B. 

 Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co. has the biggest 

 job on hand, which is being rushed to 

 completion for geraniums. It consists 

 of two houses, 35x250 each, to be heated 

 by a large Furman boiler. 



At the regular meeting of the Gar- 

 deners' & Florists' Club, October 10, 

 Mr. Vincent will give an illustrated 

 lecture on his trip to the various flower 

 shows in Belgium and Holland. Over 

 300 slides are to be shown. It will also 

 be ladies' night. 



.Philip B. Welsh, of Glen Morris, Md., 

 has been cutting some extra fine Golden 

 Glow mums and shipping them to the 

 Baltimore Florists' Exchange. 



Henry Eichholz, of Waynesboro, Pa., 

 displayed some plants of his new red 

 carnation, Christmas Cheer, at the Flo- 

 rists' Exchange at Baltimore recently.
