PEOVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Business was about normal last week, 

 the supply and demand being well pro- 

 portioned. Funeral work continues 

 good and furnishes most of the activ- 

 ity. There is an air of optimism among 

 the growers and the dealers as to Eas- 

 ter business, and everybody is bending 

 his energies in that direction. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Louis J. Eeuter and 

 Oeorge L. Stillman, of Westerly, were 

 among the visitors to the National 

 Flower Show at Philadelphia. 



The Westminster Greenhouses fur- 

 nished the table decorations for a large 

 banquet at Infantry hall, March 25. 

 About 500 carnations and 2,000 daffo- 

 dils were used. 



E. L. Lemery, landscape gardener of 

 Woonsocket, has returned from Flor- 

 ida, where he has been for several 

 weeks on business. 



Joseph H. Burchard, a greenhouse- 

 man of Woonsocket, died last week at 

 the age of 72. For several years pre- 

 vious to his last illness he was em- 

 ployed at the greenhouses of Drabble 

 Bros. He is survived by his wife and 

 an adopted son. 



Secretary John J. Dunn, of the state 

 board of agriculture, is having consid- 

 erable trouble in securing men to fight 

 the brown-tail and gypsy moths. 



Ed. L. Gavitt, Westerly, is booking 

 a large number of orders for outdoor 

 work. 



J. K. M. L. Farquhar, of Boston, ad- 

 di^essed the Bhode Island Horticultural 

 Society on "Gardens of Italy," at the 

 March meeting. His lecture was il- 

 lustrated with slides showing old and 

 new world examples of these gardens. 

 Preceding the lecture, the nominating 

 committee submitted the names of Ed- 

 ward A. Burlingame and Charles W. 

 Byer as trustees for five and two years 

 respectively. They were unanimously 

 elected. E. K. Thomas and Thomas 

 Hope were appointed to make a report 

 at the next meeting on the literature 

 of gardening in the magazines, reports 

 of the Department of Agriculture and 

 the experiment station pamphlets.

 here will be managed by his sons dur- 

 ing his absence.
