The Market. 



In sharp contrast with that of the 

 few preoeiling weeks, business last week 

 was unusually good and practically 

 everything in sight was cleared daily. 

 Asters are longer, stronger and, gen- 

 erally, better, and in consequence there 

 is an increasing demand for them. 

 Gladioli also are a strong feature of 

 the market. 



Various Notes. 

 The claim of George H. Johnson, of 

 the Elmwood Greenhouses, against the 

 estate of Charles Mohr for flowers and 

 plants amounting to $67.22, was heard 

 last week before a commissioner. The 

 case was continued until September 7. 

 James B. Warren, superintendent of the 

 North Burial Ground, attended the an- 

 nual convention of the Association of 

 American Cemetery Superintendents, of 

 which he was president, held last week 

 at Norfolk, Va. 



Smith, the Florist, 25 Washington 

 street, has repainted the interior of his 

 store. 



George A. Saunders, superintendent 

 of parks of Pawtucket, who has been 

 seriously ill of late, has recovered suf- 

 ficiently to be out and attend to his 

 duties. 



Albert L. Warner, the octogenarian 

 florist of 102" East street, Pawtucket, 

 has the sympathy of the trade in the 

 death of his wife, Mrs. Emma J. 

 Warner, August 22, after an illness of 

 several months. She -^^^ in her sixty- 

 ninth year and would have celebrated 

 her golden wedding anniversary Au- 

 gust 26. 



The large greenhouse of the Park 

 Greenhouses, on Broad ^ street, is being 

 torn down to make way for tenement 

 houses, which J. G. Jensen proposes to 

 erect. The mate-rial from the large 

 structure will be rebuilt into a number 

 of small houses at the rear of his 

 property. 



The iElmwood Greenhouses report an 

 unusual quantity of outdoor work and 

 are calling for additional men. 



Several of the landscape gardeners 

 have given notice of an advance in 

 price of labor, now charging 30 cents 

 per hour for lawn work and 3-5 to 40 

 cents per hour for tree-trimming. 



The decorations for the annual cos- 

 tume ball at the Narragansett Pier 

 Casino were designed and in cliarge of 

 Peter S. Byrnes, of Wickford. 



Eugene ^NlcCarron is having his range 

 of houses on Hope street thoroughly 

 overhauled and repaired. W. H. M.
