PEOVIDENOE, E. I. 



The Maxket. 



The local market affords but little 

 to report at the present time. There is 

 the seasonable lethargy ahiong the re- 

 tailers, although the growers and green- 

 housemen attest some activity. Over- 

 hauling, repairing, renovation and re- 

 benching are the chief occupations at 

 present. 



Carnations are alinost entirely ab- 

 sent. Eoses are of fair quality and 

 quantity. Gladioli are coming in nice- 

 ly, but move slowly, and early asters 

 are of indifferent quality, the field 

 blooms having been badly handicapped 

 by the excessive rains. 



An Octogenarian. 



Alfred L. Warner, the oldest florist in 

 Rhode Island, if not in the country, 

 still pursues his occi^iation in his 

 greenhouses on East sjfreet, Pawtucket, 

 despite his many years. July 28 he ob- 

 served his eighty-second birthday. 

 There was no celebration, the event be- 

 ing marked only by the octogenarian's 

 strict adherence to his business affairs 

 and the exchange of congratulations by 

 his numerous friends. 



Mr. Warner was born July 28, 1834, 

 in Webster, Mass. Early in life he 

 went west, where he was given a thor- 

 ough training in farming. Later he 

 returned to Pawtucket and became a 

 machinist, until failing eyes and health 

 caused him to follow the sea for recu- 

 peration. For many years he pursued 

 the life of a mariner, advancing step by 

 step until he became master. When 

 he finally married, his wife prevailed 

 upon him to give up his life at sea. He 

 entered the greenhouse business and 

 has followed the vocation for the last 

 thirty-seven years. 



Varioiw Notes. 



John A. . Macrae has added another 

 car to his delivery department. 



Samuel Woodrow, of New York, was 

 at Narragansett Pier last week in the 

 interests of his branch store there. 



Fred C. Green, superintendent of 

 parks of this city, will attend the an- 

 nual convention of the American Asso- 

 ciation of Park Superintendents at 

 New Orleans in October. 



Mrs. P. F. Conley, of Updike street, 

 has thrown out her last house of carna- 

 tions and made renovations preparatory 

 to rebenching. W. H. M. 



Bath, N. Y.— William W. Orcutt, for 

 several years a grower of fiowering 

 plants outdoors, is planning to erect a 

 greenhouse this month.
