The Weekly Florists'" Review*

BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The Eaater business was the best in 

 years and local florists are well pleased; 

 never before were there so many plants 

 to be had and stock in general was 

 good. With regular summer weather, 

 there was no trouble in getting stock 

 in on time; cool cellars and sheds were 

 greatly in demand to hold stock that 

 was too far advanced, as the thermom- 

 eter registered 88 degrees Saturday, 

 April 6. Wednesday, April 3, we had a 

 severe rain and wind storm, which did 

 an enormous amount of damage to the 

 stock on the streets. 



Easter lilies were the most in de- 

 mand and the supply was a little short, 

 though more locai growers handled 

 them than before. Carnations looked a 

 trifle sleepy and were about equal to 

 the demand. Good roses were in fair 

 supply and cleaned up. Violets were 

 bad; little good stock was to be had, 

 but some good sweet peas were in evi- 

 dence and met with a heavy demand. 

 All kinds of bulbous stock were in 

 heavy supply and moved slowly the 

 first part of the week, but made up 

 for it Saturday, as nearly everyone 

 cleaned up at fairly good prices. 



There was nothing startling in the 

 way of decorating, but all plants to be 

 had were in the various churches. 

 Green goods were about equal to the 

 demand. In the way of blooming 

 plants one could get almost anything 

 wished for. Some good azaleas, lilacs 

 and rhododendrons were seen and 

 cleaned up nicely Easter, in spite of 

 a heavy wind and rain storm which 

 kept up all the afternoon and night. 



The florists all made excellent win- 

 dow displays, which were commented on 

 by everyone. 



The street men did a flourishing 

 business and several opened stores for 

 the Easter rush, selling violets for 15 

 and 20 cents per bunch and roses and 

 carnations for 25 cents per dozen. 



Various Notes. 



Monday night, April 8, Wallace R. 

 Pierson gave an address on "Roses" at 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club. Jesse 

 P. King, of Mt. Airy, Ind., gave an 

 address to the club March 25, telling of 

 his trip to the large western growers.
