JUNE 2, 1898. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



With the rush attending Memorial 

 Day orders it is diflficult to interview 

 the craft, who are praying for fine 

 weather to enable them to carry out 

 their orders, which do not seom to be 

 so elaborate as usual. The hitherto 

 stereotyped instruction to ''Duplicate 

 my order of last year" is not so prev-. 

 alent. but it is, "Fill up as cheaply as 

 possible." There are exceptions, of 

 course, as ' T. O'Connor r3marked. 

 where a handsome latania or similar 

 plant can be placed. There will be 

 abundance of cut flowers. 



T. Johnston has cornered a big -batch 

 of spiraea. Johnny Wood has cornered 

 another store and is making things 

 hum. W. S. Hogg has a grand block of 

 hydrangeas. Planting out is back- 

 ward this season and those who do 

 considerable outside work hardly 

 know which way to turn. 



W. Butcher, W. Appleton, Jr., W. 

 Chappell and W. Flanagan, all four 

 sweet Williams, make use of their 

 namesakes in borders of annuals. 



M. Sweeney has the best record for 

 landscape work which, while keeping 

 him busy, is not so brisk as usual at 

 this season. 



Messrs. John and Farquhar Macrae 

 are sending in some bang up carna- 

 tions, chiefly Scotts and Daybreaks. 

 Will Hazen is about through with vio- 

 lets, which have been very fine this 

 season. 



Geo. Johnson & Son have li corner 

 on — not in — a cemetery close by, at 

 which much replanting is being done. 

 Alec Johnson is superintendent. The 

 hale old veteran, who is the head of 

 the concern, never looked heartier; 

 says he has no excuse to go to Europe, 

 but intends to go to Omaha instead; 

 'tis nearer the Klondike. W. M. 



COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. 

 Colorado Springs was visited by a 

 regular wild west hail storm on Tues- 

 day, May 24. The first ten minutes 

 were given up to the larger sized 

 stones, which were egg shaped and 

 measured from one to two niches iu 

 length, and these were followed by a 

 perfect deluge of smaller hail which 

 lasted another ten minutes. Consid- 

 erable damage was done to gardens. 

 and the greenhouses of William Clark, 

 the florist, were relieved of about four 

 thousand lights of glass, other Horists 

 faring about the same. J.
