PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



Tlie Market. 



Mothers' day this year was more 

 generally observed in this city than 

 ever before. The principal reason for 

 this was the advertising of the down- 

 town florists and the resulting busi- 

 ness was good. 



Trade has been exceptionally good, 

 especially on funeral work. Bedding 

 plants have experienced a good sale 

 and will without doubt continue to do 

 so until Memorial day. Already nu- 

 merous orders for that occasion have 

 been booked by the florists. This will 

 be the last remaining big day of the 

 season, as practically all the schools 

 will close with few, if any, decorations. 



Various Notes. 



Frederick Cole, of the Still Eiver 

 Gardens, has opened a store at 95 

 Snow street for the sale of trees, 

 shrubs and plants. 



The northern section of the state was 

 visited by a snow storm May 5. The 

 snow was more than an inch in depth 

 in many places. 



William N. Craig, of Brookline, 

 Mass., was the speaker at a meeting 

 last week of the Fruit Hill Improve- 

 ment Association, his topic being 

 "Kitchen Gardens." 



One of the most attractive display 

 windows recently seen in this city was 

 that of T. J. Johnston & Co., on Wash- 

 ington street. Palms and evergreens 

 were used, with a miniature fountain 

 irr the center and a score or more of 

 canary birds flying about. 



Willis Hoyt, a graduate of the New 

 Hampshire State College, has assumed 

 his duties as superintendent of home 

 gardens at North Attleboro. 



William E. Chappell, who has been 

 on the sick list for several weeks, is 

 reported to be improving. 



George Herrmann, of A. Herrmann, 

 Inc., New York, was a visitor last 

 week. 



An addition is being erected at the 

 range of the Hoxsie Nurseries, at Hox- 

 sie station. The concern expects to 

 add two or three new houses in the fall.
