The Market. 



Intermittent snow storms, with exces- 

 sively cold weather, has caused a mate- 

 rial depletion in the supply of cut flow- 

 ers in this market. At the same time 

 there has been a material increase in 

 the demand, to which several causes 

 have contributed. A large increase in 

 the number of funerals, which is rapidly 

 approaching the record established dur- 

 ing the influenza period of 1918, is re- 

 sulting in a heavy call for flowers. There 

 is also an unusually heavy social calen- 

 dar, which is adding to the burdens of 

 the situation. As a consequence, prices 

 are holding firm and high, the most 

 noticeable* shortage being in roses and 

 carnations. 



Horticultural Society. 



The annual meeting of the Rhode Is- 

 land Horticultural Society was held 

 Wednesday evening, January 28, at the
