BALTIMOitE. 



The Market. 



Thanksgiving trade in all its features 

 was highly satisfactory to all con- 

 cerned. The" weather was clear and 

 warm, making an ideal day for buying. 

 The heaviest buying was done on 

 Wednesday, but the demand continued 

 well into the forenoon of Thursday to 

 t- surprising extent. The busitess of the 

 week did not develop any unusual fea- 

 tures to distinguish it from the same 

 period last year, except the increased 

 demand for large mums, and the em- 

 barrassment of many dealers who were 

 unable to supply the demand for carna- 

 tions and violets, for which the local 

 market- was entirely inadequate. 



Chrysanthemums were on the market 

 in great quantities and all the really 

 good stock was sold out at remunerative 

 prices, while much of that offered was 

 poor and met with its well merited fate. 

 Eoses were in good demand, but the 

 supply of good stock was short, as was 

 that of all other varieties, and it had 

 the effect of advancing the prices of 

 the available stock. The remaining 

 stock of mums now on the market in- 

 cludes little that is really good, and 

 this week will mark their total disap- 

 pearance from the retail counters and 

 in their Btead will be the increased 

 stock of cataations now visible and the 

 seasonable supply of bulbous stock. 



Various Notes. 



The annual exhibition of the Mary- 

 land State Horticultural Society and 

 kindred societies opened at the Fifth 

 Eegiment Armory, Monday afternoon, 

 November 28, and will continue the 

 whole week. This year's exhibition 

 gave promise of being the largest ever 

 held by the society. The entire floor 

 of the huge building was covered by 

 tables bearing exhibits and even the 

 company rooms were utilized to accom- 

 modate them. The public parks made 

 an attractive exhibit in the form of 

 beds planted with bedding stock and 

 foliage plants. E. A. Vincent, Jr., gave 

 an interesting lecture on the opening 

 night on his trip abroad. Q. 



Hanfield, Ind. — Mrs. Alfred A. 

 Hacker is growing a choice grade of 

 carnations and disposes of them 

 readily. 



Boulder, Colo — It is reported that S. 

 Knudsen is planning to go into the 

 business of growing orchids for the

Catlettsburg, Ky. — Ida Hitchcock &

 treasurer, and John D. Hitchcock, sec- 

 retary.
