PROVIDENCE, E. I. 



The Market. 



Except funeral work, there is com- 

 paratively little activity in flowers, 

 aside from anything red. All the stores 

 report- exceptionally heavy demands for 

 Ohristmas greens and reds, and already 

 orders for later deliveries are stacked 

 high on the hooks. Azaleas, poinsettias, 

 begonias, Jerusalem cherries, ardisias 

 and other plants are arriving in large 

 quantities and command ready sale at 

 satisfactory prices. 



Various Notes. 



Otto Hassett reports a heavy run of 

 funeral work. 



William Appleton, of Broadway, had 

 a large number of pieces for the funeral 

 of William Haven. 



Drabble Bros, are conducting a branch 

 store for the holidays in the Crowell 

 block, Main street, Woonsocket. 



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

 manager, are preparing to remove from 

 171 Weybosset street to their new place 

 on Washington street directly after 

 New Year's. 



F. Macrae & Sons are cutting 1,000 

 Easter lilies daily for shipment to the 

 New York market. 



Charles Smith, the Florist, reports an 

 unusually heavy run on Christmas 

 greens of all kinds. 



Thomas Curley has been bringing in 

 some extra fine poinsettias, both cut and 

 in pots. 



Johnston Bros, have been busy with 

 work for weddings and social functions. 

 Their Christmas business has exceeded 

 that of any previous year. 



Superintendent of Parks Frederic C. 

 Green, City Forester Alexander H. 

 Johnson, Prof. E. K. Thomas, of the 

 Rhode Island State College, and Sec- 

 retary John Dunn, of the state board of 

 agriculture, are members of the ad- 

 visory committee in connection with the 

 second annual planting day in this city 

 under the auspices of the Providence 

 Chamber of Commerce. W. H. M.

 Satisfaction 



AiwKym mentton the Florists* Review 

 wben wiitlnB advertisers. 



Mr. P. H. Burton, of Glenside, Pa., was 

 so highly gratified by the results he 

 achieved with his first Metropolitan green- 

 house that he specifically instructed us 

 to plan his new one identically the same 

 as the other. 



After a whole year of experience with 

 Metropolitan construction, he decided that 

 no change could possibly improve upon it. 



His duplication proves his satisfaction. 

 We can do as well for you.
