PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



The approach of Easter is being vivid- 

 ly foreshadowed by the increasing num- 

 ber of department stores, corner gro- 

 ceries and fruit stands that are display- 

 ing potted bulbous stock. Few lilies 

 have yet put in an appearance, but it is 

 understood that the supply will be fully 

 adequate to meet all demands. The cut 

 by the outsiders is being felt already 

 by the flower stores, but the unusually 

 large call for funeral work tends to 

 equalize the market. 



In view of the city 's successful plant- 

 ing day last spring, when thousands of 

 rose bushes and other plants were put 

 into the ground, Mayor Gainer has is- 

 sued a proclamation to the people of the 

 city, setting aside April 21 as Planting 

 day in Providence this year. The ar- 

 rangements for the planting day are be- 

 ing made by a special committee of the 

 Providence Chamber of Commerce, 

 which has unanimously agreed upon the 

 bush honeysuckle, or Lonicera Tatarica, 

 and golden bell, or Forsythia Fortune!. 

 Superintendent of Parks Frederic C. 

 Green, City Forester Alexander H. John- 

 son, Prof. E. K. Thomas, of the Ehode 

 Island State College, and Secretary 

 John J. Dunn, of the State Board of 

 Agriculture, are assisting in the cam- 

 paign. Last year 23,000 Dorothy 

 Perkins climbing roses and spiraea were 

 distributed. 



Various Notes. 



The town budget of Bristol, adopted 

 last week, contained an appropriation of 

 $150 for parks and $800 for the care

One of the greenhouses belonging to 

 the range of James B. Canning, on 

 Smith street, had a narrow escape from 

 fire a few days ago. Fortunately, the 

 flames were extinguished before they 

 had attained much headway, but several 

 hundred dollars' worth of damage was 

 done to plants by smoke. 



The annual appropriations of the 

 town of North Attleboro, made last 

 week, included $150 for public parks;

 fires, and $2,500 for gypsy-moth depart- 

 ment. 



James Eodger has been elected tree 

 warden of the town of Warren.
