The Market. 



Business is about normal for this sea- 

 son of the year, with a sufficient supply 

 to meet all demands. Asters are better 

 in quality and quantity and gladioli 

 are also improving. Carnations con- 

 tinue on the decline and roses are short- 

 ening in supply. 



Various Notes. 



The handicap of the street-car strike 

 was greatly felt by the retailers in ob- 

 taining their supplies from the growers. 

 The latter have been using the trolleys 

 during the curtailed cuts while their 

 motor cars were being overhauled. But 

 Friday, August 8, an even worse condi- 

 tion presented itself because of the 

 railroad strike. The Budlong Rose Co., 

 of Auburn, had to ship all its roses 

 for New York and Philadelphia from 

 this city by New York boat and sent 

 all its supply for the Boston market 

 in automobile trucks. J. E. Koppelman 

 shipped all his cut for the Boston mar- 

 ket by trucks. 



Fred S. Davis has been elected a mem- 

 ber of the Providence Chamber of Com- 

 merce. 



Mendell Koppelman, who has been as- 

 sociated with his brother, Joseph E. 

 Koppelman, at his greenhouses in East 

 Providence, left Saturday, August 9, for 

 New York en route to Palestine. He is 

 accompanied by his sister, Mrs. Nathan 

 Max. 



John Lindblum, for several years with 

 the Hope Greenhouses, and Alfred Frey, 

 foi several years with the late William 

 Butcher, have purchased a farm near 

 Tarkiln, in Smithfield, where they are go- 

 ing to grow plants and early vegetables 

 for the market. 



Max ViJler, wlio was a sergeant in the 

 Quartermaster Department, has returned 

 from twenty-one months' service in 

 France. Before going overseas, he was 

 with Smith the Florist. 



S. S. Skidelsky, of New York, was a 

 business visitor in this city last week. 



Mr. and Mrs. Willett P. Carpenter, 

 who conduct the stand at the Union 

 station, left last week for Chicago en 

 route to Alberta and Winnipeg:, on their 

 annual visit. 



Mark Cassidy, who conducted a re- 

 tail store on Dorrance street at the time 

 of his enlistment, has arrived home. He 

 was with a forestry unit in France.

Mr. Grower: 



In introducing my new plant and bloom support, 



pBJDuiG "WIRE TIE," I am placing before the trade 



a long felt want and much needed by the grower. 



"WIRE TIE" is a labor-saving device. 



The cut shows the *TIE" open and ready to be placed in position on 

 any plant or bloom needing support. 



They can be successfully used on any plants needing support and are 

 practically a necessity for Chrysanthemums; absolutely no danger of 

 breaking stem. 



They make a neat appearance and you can tie up five times as many 

 Mums with** WIRE TIE" as you can by tying up plant with cord. 



Send stamp for enough samples to give them a good try-out. 

 $2.00 per 1000. $9.00 per 5000
