BAI.TIMOBE. 



The Market. 



Demand is lifeless. There is practi- 

 cally nothing doing as far as the stores 

 are concerned. The fakers have full 

 swing of the market, and they are mak- 

 ing prices to suit themselves. Some of 

 the growers report • that the supply of 

 flowers is beginning to shorten up, and 

 we all hope that the glut of carnations 

 will soon be over. Eoses are piling up, 

 as the demand is slow, except for the 

 best. 



Blooming plants are. selling satisfac- 

 torily. Many fine azaleas and hydran- 

 geas are to be seen at some of the 

 stores! Hyacinths in pane are selling 

 exceptionally well. 



There will be all kinds of lilies on 

 the market for Easter, some particular- 

 ly fine ones and some especially poor 

 ones, just as in former years. Some of 

 the plants will be quite short of stem. 

 Giganteum and Formosa lilies are the 

 only ones which are giving universal 

 satisfaction. 



The British Visitors. 



« 



Twelve of the leading horticulturists 

 of England, who are touring the United 

 States, visited Baltimore March 20. A 

 banquet was held at the Hotel Eennert 

 by the Gardeners and Florists' Club. 



Earlier in the day the Britishers had 

 visited the greenhouses of E. Vincent, 

 Jr., & Sons Co., at White Marsh. After 

 looking over the range of glass the visit- 

 ors were entertained at luncheon by. 

 Mr. and Mrs. Eichard Vincent, Jr. In 

 the afternoon the party returned to Bal- 

 timore, where they were taken in auto- 

 mobiles through the leading parks. 



The visitors present were: J. S. Brun- 

 ton, of London, organizer of the trip to 

 this country; James and William Brown, 

 of Stamford; E. Barker, of Manchester; 

 W. A. Cull, C. Engelmann, J. L. Gunn, 

 L. M. Graves and G. Prickett, all lead- 

 ing horticulturists of England and fel- 

 lows of the Boyal Horticultural Society, 

 and C. Pratley, S. South and .T. Simp- 

 son, of London.
