FBOVIDENOE, B. I. 



The Maxket. 



Bhode Island has not yet recovered 

 from the worst storm that has visited 

 the state since the big blizzard of Nov- 

 ember, 1898. Traffic of all kinds has 

 been interfered with and a general tie- 

 up of business of every description has 

 resulted during the last fortnight and 

 it will be at least another week before 

 conditions become normal. 



The long spell of cold, dark and 

 cloudy weather put a decided crimp in 

 the cut on all kinds of flowers, with 

 the result that there has been a short- 

 age that sent prices up. Though 

 weather conditions materially reduced 

 the demand, the supply was far from 

 adequate to satisfy the call. 



Various Notes. 



At the range of Burke & Burns, on 

 Dyer avenue, the snow drifted against 

 one side of a greenhouse so that it cov- 

 ered the roof and crusted. Boys sliding 

 down the avenue mistook the drift for a 

 hill and, coasting over, broke nearly 

 fifty dollars* worth of glass. 



The weight of snow and ice broke in 

 one end of one of the houses of William 

 Crompton, at East Deerwich, causing 

 damage of about $100. 



Charles E. Moody, for more than 

 twenty years employed with J. A. Bud- 

 long Co., at Auburn, has resigned to go 

 into the real esate business for him- 

 self. 



Daniel S. Kelly, of Anthony, is con- 

 fined to the house with a broken bone in 

 his ankle. 



Johnston Bros, had a large decoration 

 at the Churchill house Friday, February 

 13. 



Timothy O 'Connor, who has been con- 

 fined to the house by an attack of the 

 grip, is able to be about again. 



Word has been received here that 

 John Ovsenick, for several years wire- 

 worker for Joseph E. Koppelman, of 

 this city, died recently in New^ York 

 while on a visit from his home in De- 

 troit. 



Frederick Dietz, of French street, 

 was a recent business visitor in New 

 York. 



William Crompton is confined to his 

 home, at East Greenwich, by a severe 

 attack of influenza. 



Henry Phillips, of Academy avenue, 

 has iust purchased a new automobile. 

 W. H. M. 



Passaic, N. J. — The Thurston Floral 

 Co. has been incorporated with a capital 

 of $25,000. The incorporators are 

 Charles Roth, of East Paterson; Alex 

 Hay, of Haledon, and David H. Thurs- 

 ton, of Paterson.

This photosraph was taken November 23, 1919, and will give a good idea of what HAMBURG LATE 

 PINK looks like when grown to single stems and planted six inches each way. 



HAMBURG LATE PINK CHRYSANTHEMUM 



is an improved late pink Maud Dean, having more petals and, if grown for 

 late, will hardly ever show an open center. 



The average grower of ChrysanthemuniB must have varieties which are easy to handle and 

 from which he can cut aB near 100% of perfect blooms as possible. UamburK Late Pink has 

 been grown for the last four years, and produces a very high proportion of good flowers. It Is 

 not an exhibition variety, but for late pluk Is one of the best for commercial purposes. It can 

 be had In bloom the latter part of November by taking an early bud, but some of the flowers 

 will show open ceuters. By selecting late buds, after October 1, most of the flowers are cut 

 during December, and would advise to select late buds, as the later buds will hardly ever show 

 an open center, and some flowers can be had even in January. 



Keeping qualities are excellent and where a graceful pink flower is wanted, Hambarc 

 Late Pink cannot be surpassed. 



Plants will be ready March 1, 1920, and all orders will be filled in rotation.
