PROVIDENCE, E. I. 



The Market. 



Memorial day proved another busy 

 day for the florists and growers and al- 

 most everybody cleaned up on both cut 

 flowers and potted stock. A noticeable 

 feature this year was the greatly in- 

 creased demand for magnolia wreaths 

 with artificial flowers. Small potted 

 plants, especially geraniums, found a 

 ready sale. Prices were slightly ad- 

 vanced, but not so much as in previous 

 years, the strain being relieved by the 

 use of the artificials. Saturday, June 

 3, was preparedness day, and for this 

 occasion several of the enterprising 

 downtown florists offered red, white and 

 blue bouquets of carnations and 

 bachelor's buttons. 



Various Notes. 



The florists' business was well repre- 

 sented in the preparedness parade, about 

 100 men marching in the florists' di- 

 vision. Kobert Johnston, of Johnston 

 Bros., was the marshal of the division, 

 with James Dillon, L. Dickinson, Wil- 

 liam H. O'Connor, Laurence Hay, Alex- 

 ander Macrae and Herbert West as 

 assistant marshals. 



Oakley & Powers is the style of a 

 new concern on Empire street. 



E. E. Howard has opened an ofl&ce 

 at 267 Weybosset street for the sale 

 of shrubs, fruit and shade trees, potted 

 plants, etc.

 quarters in the Arnold block. Main 

 street, Apponaug.
