PROVIDENCE, E. I. 



The Market. 



Last week was an exceedingly busy 

 one. Numerous social affairs created a 

 good demand for cut flowers, baskets, 

 bouquets and decorations. 



Chrysanthemums now are asserting 

 themselves and are in sufficient num- 

 ber and variety to appease all demands. 

 Prices range about normal. Violets 

 are still shy, but gradually increasing 

 in supply, the growers refraining from 

 poshing them hard until after the 

 mums have made their exit from the 

 stage. Carnations are improving rap- 

 idly in quality and roses are quite 

 plentiful. There is little room or call 

 for novelties at present. 



Various Notes. 



T. O'Connor reports a busy .week, no 

 less than three of the leading social 

 weddings of the week falling to Jhis 

 care. 



James Hacking has been reelected 

 superintendent of the Moshassuck ceme- 

 tery, at Central Palls. 



The management of the Westlninster 

 Greenhouses has rebuilt several of its 

 houses this season. 



Miss Ellen O'Connor had several 

 good decorations for weddings last 

 week, both house and church. 



Several of the downtown florists are 

 talking of having a get-together ban- 

 quet during the coming winter, with 

 one or more good speakers from out of 

 the city. 



The wife of Charles Smith, the Wash- 

 ington street florist, who was operated 

 upon in a "private hospital at Boston 

 several weeks ago, is reported improv- 

 ing. 



James B. Canning, who has been 

 spending the summer with his family 

 at his seaside cottage at Highland 

 Heights, on Narragansett bay, has re- 

 turned to the city home. Mr. Canning 

 is much improved in health. 



Eugene McCarron has overhauled his 

 greenhouses on Hope street. 



T.J.Johnston & Co., Edward Brooke, 

 manager, are to give up the store on 

 Weybosset street, which they occupied 

 for more than twenty years, and will 

 take up larger quarters on Washington 

 street at an early date. W. H. M. 



WESTERLY, R. I. 



The Washington Trust Co. has taken 

 charge as trustee of the gpreenhouses 

 of Samuel Eankin, who disappeared 

 September 12 while on a trip to New 

 York. The houses contain about 25,000 

 feet of glass and are well stocked with 

 roses. 



Louis J. Renter, of S. J. Eeuter & 

 Son, Inc., was a business visitor to 

 New York last week. This concern 

 has just received a large supply of 

 tulip and daffodil bulbs. 



Conrad Schultz has made extensive 

 improvements at his range of green- 

 houses on Beach street. 



George L. Stillman was a visitor to 

 New York last week, combining busi- 

 ness with pleasure. W. H. M.
