The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



March 24, 1910. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



There was a decided improvement in 

 business last week. .The best quality of 

 roses and caih^ions was quite scarce' and 

 was quickly disposed of. Good carna- 

 tions are meeting with large demands, 

 especially white, which seemed to be ex- 

 ceedingly scarce here Saturday, March 

 19. 



Bulbous stock has sold especially well 

 this week. There is not such a large 

 amount grown this season; in fact, one 

 department store wanted to place an or- 

 der for 3,000 purple hyacinths in 4-ineh 

 pots, but was not even able to get 1,000 

 here. The blooms, also, do not seem to 

 be as large this season as usual. Tulips 

 are exceedingly good, especially the Mu- 

 rillo and Couleur Cardinal, which are ex- 

 ceptionally fine. Violets have enjoyed 

 an unusually fine season, and there is a 

 heavy demand, but for singles only. 



Shamrocks had a good call this sea- 

 son, which was caused by one of the 

 largest parades for fifteen years being 

 held here on St. Patrick 's day. Each 

 one in line had small pieces pinned on 

 his coat. 



Jonquils have been in heavy supply for 

 the last three weeks and could be had for 

 5 cents a dozen. They are from the 

 south and are grown outside. 



Various Notes. 



The Gardeners' Club of Baltimore held 

 its annual banquet Monday, March 14, 

 with about seventy-five members of the 

 club participating. Eobert L. Graham 

 acted as toastmaster, and among those 

 who responded to toasts were: George 

 Morrison, George O. Brown, William 

 Christie, N. F. Flitton, William Fraser, 

 James Hamilton, Wm. J. Johnson, Geo. 

 S, Kalt, I. H. Moss, J. J. Perry, Chas. 

 L. Seybold, E. A. Seidewitz and Philip 



B. Welsh. Before the banquet, the an- 

 nual election was held, and the following 

 oflScers were chosen for the ensuing year : 

 President, George Morrison; vice-presi- 

 dent, William Christie; secretary, N. F. 

 Flitton; financial secretary, George Tal- 

 bott; treasurer, F. G. Burger; librarian, 



C. M. Wagner. 



Richard Vincent, of White Marsh, will 

 visit the Belgium and Holland spring 

 show. He will start April 9, on the 

 Caledonia from New York to Glasgow, 

 due there April 23, and will be accom- 

 panied by his wife and daughter. Mr. 

 Vincent will be gone for two months, and 

 although his trip is for pleasure, he ex- 

 pects to bring back a fine set of ge- 

 raniums of an entirely new type.
