The Market. 



The market remains under the influ- 

 ence of the Lenten season, but on the 

 whole is satisfactory, cleaning up in al- 

 most every line, and very little goes to 

 the ash barrel. Quite a few events of a 

 social character took place last week, and 

 the florists' trade has benefited thereby. 

 Forty days of inaction in society circles 

 means a long pull and few among society 

 people are equal to the demand; conse- 

 qoently some business is created through 

 lapsing vows, and other departures from 

 the orthodox observance of Lent. 



A heavy ciit is on in roses and, from 

 all reports, there will be a heavy cut for 

 Easter. Bride and Maid are quite plen- 

 tiful, but prime values are practically 

 unchanged and such cleaning out as is 

 necessary is confined to stock of inferior 

 quality. There is a certain demand — 

 quite limited, too — for the highest grade 

 of stock, and when this is supplied, fig- 

 ures to be realized are toward the mini- 

 mum. Carnations are not quite so plen- 

 tiful, and concessions in consequence are 

 not so frequent. Violets are not strong 

 in point of demand, but values are steady 

 as quoted. With the Easter season so 

 close, today's prices may be some crite- 

 rion of the values to be expected during 

 Easter week. 



Vafious Notes. 



■Charles Cook, of Mosher street, has 

 been looking over several pieces of prop- 

 erty near Catonsville and expects to close 

 a deal in a day or two. His present 

 place is too small for his increasing trade. 

 He w^ill build several new houses this 

 season. 



The Gardeners ' and Florists ' Club was 

 treated to a geranium show by E. Vin- 

 cent, Jr., & Sons Co., of White Marsh, 

 March 22. The club room was one mass 

 of blooms, as there were 150 varieties on 

 exhibition, some of which measured over 

 six inches across. Mr. Vincent gave a 

 talk on geraniums and their require- 

 ments. M. Hannigan had a handsome 

 vase of Ulrich Brunner roses on display. 

 The park board has begun setting out 

 thousands of pansies in the parks and 

 squares, and they make a pretty show, as 

 most of them are in bloom. Q.
