PROVIDENCE, E. I. 



The Market. 



Usual midsummer conditions prevail 

 in this city and vicinity with every- 

 thing connected with the florists' busi- 

 ness practically normal. There is a suf- 

 ficiency of all kinds of stock to meet 

 demand, which depends largely upon 

 funeral work. Asters and gladioli are 

 the most conspicuous offerings at pres- 

 ent, the latter having gained in popu- 

 larity by immense strides in the last few 

 years. Asters, while showing much im- 

 provement, are hardly up to standard, 

 but a run of clear, hot weather will soon 

 eliminate imperfections. 



Vacations among the retailers and 

 their clerks, alterations and renovations 

 in the stores, repairs, expansions and 

 rebenching, with plenty of outdoor 

 work among the growers, summarizes 

 the conditions.
