The Weekly Florists' J^eyiew. 



May 12, 1910. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



Tne first week in May brings rather 

 unusual conditions. Owing to the cool, 

 dark weather which has prevailed for a 

 fortnight or qiore, flowers, where they 

 have been cared for, are in excellent con- 

 dition, being exceptionally good values 

 for the prices obtained. There is, of 

 course, considerable rubbish of little or 

 no value. 



Business has fallen off, the demand 

 being rather weak and irregular, espe- 

 cially on colored stock. Carnations were, 

 rather scarce Saturday, especially white, 

 which brought 3 cents wholesale, as the 

 demand was heavy on account of Moth- 

 ers' day. 



Pot plants are moving slowly, because 

 of the exceEsive rain, and on Wednesday, 

 May 4, we had a light frost, which hurt 

 the strawberry crop in certain locations. 



Valley is plentiful this season and can 

 be had for 25 cents per hundred. Daisies 

 are in large supply and have a heavy de- 

 mand, especially the yellow. Ferns and 

 asparagus are exceedingly scarce. Hy- 

 drangeas are plentiful and move slowly. 

 Some peonies are to be had, but only in 

 small lots. 



Various Notes. 



R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co. is 

 planning several more modern houses, to 

 be erected shortly for geraniums. 



The parks and squares have been 

 planted with 40,000 pansies, which were 

 grown by a local florist. 



J> Bolgiano & Sons gave away 7,000 

 white carnations Saturday, May 7, for 

 Mothers' day. Every person entering 

 the store was presented with one neatly 

 wrapped. In one of their windows were 

 over 500 small chicks, four or five days 

 old, which were hatched in incubators at 

 the store in full view of the public. 



Q. 



Peru, Ind. — Ecntz & Son say pros- 

 pects are excellent, especially for Deco- 

 ration day. Their stock is in fine shape 

 4nd moving well. I. Tucker is the grower 

 in charge. 



Ballston Spa, N. Y. — Richard 

 Schafer has opened a greenhouse on 

 Church avenue, which he will conduct 

 under the name of the Church Avenue 

 Florist.
