BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The feature of last week was a tre- 

 mendous glut of carnations, which, how- 

 ever, were cleaned up Saturday by mak- 

 ing considerable sacrifice in prices. 

 There was a great oversupply in all 

 varieties except, perhaps, the white, but 

 with a number of the growers they are 

 going oft crop and will be a little short 

 for Easter. 



Roses of good quality are holding up 

 fairly well. Quite a number of inferior 

 quality are seen on the market, but this 

 has been due to the long spell of cloudy 

 weather. However, every day shows some 

 improvement. Some few violets are 

 still to be had, but they are of inferior 

 quality. 



Of daffodils there seems no end, and 

 the price has been cut to two dozen for 

 5 cents and over 30,000 were left on 

 the street Saturday night. The trade 

 in pot plants is picking up and fine 

 large specimens of spiraeas, rhododen- 

 drons and azaleas are to be seen in the 

 windows. Hyacinths and tulips are mov- 

 ing fairly well. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Richmond, the superintendent of 

 exhibits of the S. A. F., reports a heavy 

 run on floor space for the coming con- 

 vention. He sold over 7,000 square feet 

 at the Boston show and still has a few 

 prominent spaces left. Q. 



MARKET FOR PROVIDENCE. 



About a dozen flower growers in 

 Providence and adjoining towns are talk- 

 ing up a scheme to form a flower ex- 

 change, such as is successfully operated 

 in Boston and other large cities, and 

 while the plan has not got beyond the 

 paper stage, there is a probability that it 

 will be carried out. 



Growers have been dissatisfied with 

 the methods that have to be employed 

 now. Unless they have a ready and 

 constant market for their flowers they 

 are forced to go to the different retail 

 florists and try to sell whatever they 

 want. The scheme which has been 

 talked up is to hire some suitable quar- 

 ters in the wholesale district of the city 

 and there the growers will congregate 

 every morning with the flowers they 

 have for sale. The local retail florists 

 would then go to the exchange, flnd 

 more readily what they want from the 

 supplies of several growers and the 

 work for both the grower and the retail 

 florist would be greatly facilitated.
