PROVIDENCE, B. I. 



The Market. 



Several pleasant days last week 

 raised the hopes of the public that 

 spring had at last arrived, but, instead 

 of spring, came more snow. But while 

 the pleasant days lasted the florists 

 took advantage of conditions, and daffo- 

 dils, tulips, sweet peas and violets and 

 also bunches of pussy willows gave a 

 cheering appearance to the downtown 

 windows. Among the notable displays 

 were those of Macnair, T. J. Johnston 

 & Co., Johnston Bros., W. A. Bowers 

 and Timothy O'Connor. 



Prices for the week have been about 

 normal, with an ample supply of all 

 staples and the appearance of a few 

 novelties. Funeral work is active and 

 the trade is making final preparations 

 for the Easter rush.

When tying up Hyacinth and 

 all other plants you now tie to 

 a stake with cord, it is to your 

 advantage to use "WIRE TIE." 



"WIRE TIE" is a labor-saving device and was made especially
