The Market. 



"With a tremendous business, well dis- 

 tributed, St. Valentine's day gave the 

 local market a decided impetus that 

 gladdened the hearts of llorists not- 

 withstanding that tliey were unable to 

 olitain all the red roses and red carna- 

 tions tlioy desired. Violets and sweet 

 peas, however, served to fill out. The 

 abundance of bulbous stock has lifted 

 tiie strain on other cut flowers and sent 

 the prices tumbling. Funeral work con- 

 tinues to be brisk and several florists re- 

 port almost record-l)reaking numbers of 

 designs made up daily. 



Various Notes. 



Joseph E. Koppclman still is confined 

 to his house at Kiverside by the serious 

 afVection of one of his eyes. 



The Flower Growers, 317 Westminster 

 street, is organizing a delivery system 

 of boys with wheels that promises well. 



Several of the downtown florists had 

 attractive St. Valentine's day windows. 

 Among these were Smith the Florist, 

 Johnston Bros., T. J. Johnston & Co., 

 Macnair and Bowers. 



Charles Smith was a visitor in Boston 

 last week in search of novelties. 



Alexander 11. Johnson, doing business 

 as George Johnson & Son, 521 Elmwood 

 avenue, has sold the florist, nursery and 

 forestry business to Hugo De Wild, 

 who will continue the business under the 

 same name. 



Edward F. Ely, one of the Providence 

 park commissioners, has been elected a 

 director of the Swan Point Cemetery 

 corporation and Daniel S. Thurber has 

 been reelected superintendent. 



W. J. Sevigne, of Harrisville, reports 

 the booking of a large number of com- 

 missions for pruning, spraying and trim- 

 ming of trees and slirubs this spring. 



J. & P. Coats Co. has erected a house 

 23x40 at Pawtucket for a propagating 

 house. W. H. M. 



Cicero, 111. — The other day George 

 Kaspar, tiring of so-called single bless- 

 edness, embarked on the matrimonial 

 sea, his mate being Miss Edna Corejt, 

 The intention of the couple was to sur- 

 prise the parents of the groom, but on 

 arriving home it was apparent that 

 there had been a "leak" — the old folks 

 had advance notice.
