August 2, 1917. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



Business with the Providence florists, 

 especially with those in the downtown 

 district, was good in spots during the 

 month of July. A few weddings and a 

 fair volume of funeral work kept busi 

 ness a trifle above the normal for this 

 season. The work was fairly divided, 

 although some houses Avore favored witli 

 one or two special calls. 



Prices of coal have not eased oft' to 

 any appreciable extent, but the green- 

 housemen are placing their orders for 

 the winter supply wherever possible, 

 taking a chance on prices. 



A campaign has been started to se- 

 cure a good attendance from Ehode Is- 

 land at the convention of the S. A. F. 

 at New York. 



The Budlong Eose Co. is sending large 

 shipments of roses to the Boston and 

 New York markets daily. 



Harry Swanson, of Swanson Bros., 

 was a member of Battery A, which 

 mobilized last week. 



The Hoxsie Greenhouses have com- 

 pleted two new greenhouses. Mr. Bour- 

 gaige is on a visit to relatives on the 

 Isle of Gruernsey. 



V, J. Berarducci is spending the sum- 

 mer at his cottage at Highland beach.

 opened a store on Atwells avenue.

NEWPORT, R. I. 



Members of the Newport Garden 

 Club last week held their first business 

 meeting in the new club house on Belle- 

 vue avenue. The schedule of the club's 

 summer lectures has been announced. 

 Usually these have been free, but this 

 year it has been decided to make a 

 charge of $1, the proceeds to be do- 

 nated to the Eed Cross. 



Andrew S. Meikle has been appointed 

 by Mayor Burdick a member of the 

 board of park commissioners, for the 

 term expiring in 1922. 



William J. Gardnear, of New York, is 

 here for the rest of the summer season, 

 associated with Wadley & Smythe. The 

 floral decorations for the recent Red 

 Cross concert at the Casino theater 

 were by Wadley & Smythe.

 usuallv busy season in outdoor work.
