PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market 



A decided modification in the temper- 

 ature last week resulted in a noticeable 

 improvement in market conditions, the 

 supply of almost everything increasing. 

 Boses and carnations now are arriving 

 in larger quantities and better quality. 

 There has been a slight drop in prices, 

 although the scale has been well main- 

 tained by the unusually large quantity 

 of funeral work. Narcissi, daffodils 

 and tulips have made their appearance 

 in good quantities, which also eases the 

 market. 



While Carnation day, held in memory 

 of President McKinley, was not gener- 

 ally observed in this city, there was 

 enough demand to cause much activity 

 in carnations, and before noon buyers 

 were scurrying to obtain their supply. 

 There was a stiffening of prices on car- 

 nations for that day. 



The Annual dub Banquet. 



The annual banquet of the Florists' 

 and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island 

 was held in the clubrooms at 98 West- 

 minster street, January 24, with one of 

 the largest gatherings that have attend- 

 ed a similar affair in several years. The 

 meeting was called to order at about 

 8 o 'clock, following an excellent dinner, 

 by the retiring president, Cornelius 

 Hartstra. After a brief address of wel- 

 come President Hartstra called the new- 

 ly elected president, James Dillon, to 

 the chair, after which the other officers 

 were installed. They are: Vice-presi- 

 dent, William Steele; secretary, William 

 E. Chappell; treasurer, James Hockey. 

 All are Providence men excepting Mr. 

 Hockey, who comes from Pawtucket. 



After the business session music and 

 addresses were in order. One of the 

 pleasing features of the evening was 

 the presentation to the retiring presi- 

 dent of a silk umbrella, as a mark of 

 appreciation of his work during the 

 year. The committee in charge of ar- 

 rangements consisted of Robert John- 

 son, Alexander Macrae and Eugene Ap- 

 pleton.

We are not trying to see how cheap 

 a hanging basket we can make — 

 but how gfood. Naturally there 

 must be some difference in prices 

 as between the best basket one 

 can make and the cheapest— but 

 there's a whole lot more difference 

 in the quality than there is in the 

 price. If you seek a good article, 

 send us a trial order.
