The Florists^ Review 



NOVVMBBB 1, 1917. 



PBOVIDENOE, R. I. 



The Market. 



The chrysanthemum season is on with 

 a bang; the blooms find a ready sale 

 at good prices. Snapdragons have made 

 their first appearance; they attract a 

 good price and demand. Carnations are 

 better than last week, and roses move 

 satisfactorily, Violets sell sluggishly 

 and will not hold the market so long as 

 the mums are in evidence. Providence 

 is a good muni town. 



Various Notes. 



Oi-in Smith, of Pawtucket, has been 

 spending a few days' vacation at Point 

 Judith.
