. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 51G The American Florist. Sept. 2S, Baltimore. OUTDOOR STOCK PLENTIFUL. After a week of summer weather we are having heavy autumnal rains, though so far there have not set in any decid- edly lower temperatures, the mercury of the past ten days ranging from 90° to 60". Outdoor stock is over abund- ant as is usual at this period, though damaged by rains and the dahlia output seems to overstock every market. In- door flowers are not yet abundant, nor of extra good quality. Roses improve, but carnations are neither plentiful nor good. Some of our growers are, natur- ally with tlie existing conditions, troubled somewhat with mildew, which will disappear as regular firing is prac- ticed. NOTES. The dahlia show of R. Vincent, Jr. & Sons Co. of this year was a great suc- cess. These annual events have come to be regarded as the floricultural fea- ture of the autumn in this latitude and many visitors are attracted. This firm, as is well known, makes specialties of vegetable plants, geraniums and other stock and one of the daily papers re- ports that so far this year there has been shipped: Tahba^e plants .' 2,269,125 Egg plants 111,000 Celerv plants 182,000 Pepper plants 207,000 Tomato plants ,830 Besides this, large quantities of lettuce. sweet potatoes and other stock too nu- merous to mention, more than 100,000 dahlias from pots and uncounted bushels of tubers have been sent out. There has been much building in hand this fall in the face of the high cost of materials and the scarcity of labor. The R. Vincent. & Sons Co. have the biggest job on hand, and their neighbors, C. Akehurst & Son, have also several large houses approaching com- pletion. J. E. Bartell, Waverly, put up six moderate sized houses this season, and Kerr and Green, on the Falls road, added quite a fine house, for mixed stock, to their equipment. J. .\. Ritter, a well known florist of North Baltimo
