The Rorists* Review 



Max 24, 1917. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



SEASONABLE STOCK 



The Market. 



Tlie growers and storekeepers are find- 

 ing little fault with the Warmer weath- 

 er, as the indications are that there 

 will be an unusual scarcity of outdoor 

 flowers for Memorial day. Already 

 many orders are being booked for that 

 occasion. As has been the custom for 

 a number of years, the demand is large- 

 ly for potted plants. A slight stiffening 

 in prices is already noticeable. Of cut 

 flowers there is a good supply, with 

 prices ranging about normal. 



Various Notes. 



The question of an adequate supply 

 of coal for the coming fall and winter 

 is holding the attention of the green- 

 housemen. It is a serious proposition. 



"How to Fertilize the Home Gar- 

 den," wag the subject on which Philip 

 Wessels, of the Ehode Island State Col- 

 lege, addressed the Rhode Island Hor- 

 ticultural Society at the monthly meet- 

 ing held last week. 



William H. Sawyer has removed his 

 store from 1920 to 1911 Westminster 

 street, directly across the square from 

 the old stand. 



The June exhibition of roses, straw- 

 berries and early vegetables of the 

 Rhode Island Horticultural Society will 

 be held at the Narragansett hotel 

 June 16. 



Thomas Callahan, who came here a 

 few days ago from New York to enter 

 the employ of the J. A. Budlong & Son 

 Co., at Auburn, was taken to the hospi- 

 tal May 13, following a sudden attack 

 of illness. 



Conrad Schultz, of Westerly, was in 

 the city last week, while on his way 

 to Boston. 



O. H. Williams is turning much of his 

 land to gardening this year. In the big 

 greenhouses, where for several seasons 

 at this period sweet peas were grown, 

 thousands of tomato plants are flourish- 

 ing. W. H. M. 



ChiUicothe, Mo. — The recent "flower 

 banquet" of the local business college 

 called for one of the largest decorations 

 of the season. Sefton & Son say the 

 late, cold spring has retarded the 

 growth of bedding stock in this locality, 

 but with bright sunshine and rising 

 temperature everything is coming for- 

 ward rapidly. The demand is good and 

 local florists are working overtime to 

 fill orders.

Our Dirt Bands are made from a 

 special heavy board stock and are 

 much superior to the flimsy, thin

 have been using the lock style, the 

 "Climax" Band will be much ap- 

 preciated, as there is no folding or 

 hooking required. A trial will con- 

 vince you.
