 continue* of good quality 'and in good 

 quantity, while sweet peas, freesias. 

 Paper Whites and daffodils are coming

Fire wrecked a section of the Hamp- 

 den Meadow Greenhouses at Hampden 

 Meadows last week, causing a loss of 

 nearly $2,500. It is believed that hot 

 ashes from the furnace in the basement 

 started the blaze and before the firemen 

 reached the scene one large house was 

 in ruins. The flames were checked, how- 

 ever. James Ennis, of Providence, is the 

 lessee of the property, which belongs to 

 Moulton Stone and Frank Field. There 

 was no insurance on the property. 



H. Howard Pepper, of the Melrose 

 Rose Gardens, is in California for a sev- 

 eral months' stay.

 New York. 



Charles Smith made two hurried trips 

 to Boston last week.

 ber of funeral orders during the last

 for a new arrangement of his houses, to 

 be made during the coming summer. 



Joseph E. Koppelman is rejoicing at 

 the arrival of a 10 pound son in his 

 home last week. 



Samuel Rcsnick, who has been in the 

 Rhode Island Homeopathic hospital for 

 seven weeks, has returned to his duties 

 with J. E. Koppelman & Co. 



The home of Charles E. Cannon was 

 broken into last week and jewelry, sil- 

 verware, etc., were stolen. W. H. M. 



Paterson, N. J. — Edward Sceery was 

 reelected president of the park com- 

 mission for the seventh consecutive 

 time at the 1917 organization of the
