PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



The supply of cut flowers was greatly 

 increased all along the line last week, 

 bulbous stock coming to the front in 

 great quantities. There has been a good 

 demand for everything, so that a gen- 

 eral clean-up occurs each day. Roses 

 and carnations continue good and sweet 

 peas are steadily increasing in supply. 

 Plants are selling well, the bulbous 

 kinds being most in evidence. 



Various Notes. 



The greenhouses of the Laphani Floral 

 Co., at Pawtucket, were broken into one 

 night last week. A large palm was car- 

 ried off. 



William B. Hazard is on the job again 

 after a severe attack of the grip. 



W. M. Sloan, representing the New 

 England Florist Supply Co., of Boston, 

 has been calling on the trade in this 

 vicinity. 



It is understood that an effort is to 

 be made to recruit members for the Flo- 

 rists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode 

 Island, so as to include in its member- 

 ship all eligibles throughout the state. 

 The club has an interesting and credit- 

 able history, dating back to about 1890. 



Herman G. Dolbeck, designer for 

 Vose's, of Woonsocket, was in New 

 York last week in the interests of the 

 firm. 



Mark A. Cassidy & Co. have removed 

 from the Strand building, Washington 

 street, this city, to 78 Dorrance street. 

 The new quarters are larger and more 

 centrallv located. W. H. M. 



KNOXVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



There has been a marked change in 

 the weather during the last two weeks, 

 and from all indications the worst part 

 of winter is over. This sounds rather 

 well after one of the severest winters of 

 a number of years, and the florist in par- 

 ticular is glad, especially if he is one 

 of those who did not have their winter's 

 supply of coal put in last summer, and 

 who have been paying a double price 

 for it, with no assurance that they would 

 be supplied with all they needed. 



Business during the last two weeks has 

 been good; in fact, trade has been so 

 good and stock has been so scarce that 

 there has been a continuous struggle for 

 stock enough to fill orders. There seems 

 to be a scarcity of stock throughout the 

 country, as it has been almost impossible 

 at times to buy from other markets. 

 However, if the weather continues 

 bright and clear, stock will become more 

 plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The sudden death of D. R. Mayo, 

 which occurred February 16, is recorded 

 in this week's obituary column. 



Among last week's visitors were S. 

 Nelson, of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chi- 

 cago, and W. E. Harris, representing 



Wertheimer Bros. 



of New York.
