BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



Trade continues about the same as 

 for the last few weeks. City trade 

 has amounted to almost nothing for 

 the last week, funeral work making 

 practically the only demand on stock. 

 Not until the people begin to return 

 from their summer outings will busi- 

 ness iihprove to any extent. 



Society will again take up its abode 

 in the city after the middle of Sep- 

 tember, and the subsequent social af- 

 fairs will improve business conditions 

 considerably. 



Stock continues to improve and 

 roses are being received in large quan- 

 tities, but the several days of heavy 

 rains have hurt outside stock ma- 

 terially. Carnations are beginning to 

 make their appearance, but are of 

 rather poor quality and short-stemmed. 

 Asters are being overdone, as usual, and 

 can be had at any price and, with the 

 advent of dahlias, there will be plenty 

 of color to the window displays and 

 market stalls. Q. 



Club Meeting. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Club 

 of Baltimore held a meeting August 

 28, at the Florists' Exchange, St. 

 Paul and Franklin streets. Eobert L. 

 Graham, president of the club, pre- 

 sided. 



It was voted that the club subscribe 

 $100 toward defraying the expense of 

 the Fifth Eegiment's visit to Atlanta, 

 Ga. It was also resolved that the club 

 take steps to organize a women's 

 auxiliary society in connection with 

 the organization. The Washington 

 club has recently been successful in 

 doing this, and it is thought by the 

 members that it will not be a difficult 

 matter for the Baltimore club to ac- 

 complish. 



Noah Flitton, secretary of the club, 

 read the report of the committee of 

 final resolutions of the convention, in 

 which it was stated that the conven- 

 tion had been the most successful ever 

 held in the twenty-seven years of the 

 organization. The report concluded 

 with the statement that the committee 

 had noted with pleasure the display of 

 banners and other decorations of wel- 

 come throughout the city during the 

 convention. 



When Mr. Flitton had finished read- 

 ing the report a certificate of merit 

 was awarded to Edward Kress, of this 

 city, who introduced the new deep 

 crimson seedling rose which was bo 

 much admired by the visiting florists. 



On Wednesday, September 27, the 

 members of the club will leave Mount 

 Royal station at 8 o'clock in the morn- 

 ing to attend the fifth annual dahlia 

 and flower show, which will be held 

 at the dahlia and canna farm of R. 

 Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., Cowenton, 

 Md. The party will leave on a spe- 

 cial train and will be met at the sta- 

 tion by teams, which will convey them 

 to the farm. 



Waterbury, Conn. — Saxe & Floto have 

 the new range planted to carnations and 

 chrysanthemums. The Lord & Burn- 

 ham latest idea of concrete and iron 

 will be adopted in the future.
