' Last Summer's Lessons. The summer is now over, the harvest is ended, and, for the florist who had the forethought to study conditions— that is, the man who watched the mar- ket not only in his own city but all over the country—the harvest has been a bountiful one. During the last sum- mer the writer has made a careful study of the Baltimore market, has compared conditions there with those reported from other markets in the columns of The Review and found they were much the same all over the country; that while there were some dull times re- ported, yet, on the whole, last summer's business surpassed anything in history.
