PROVIDENCE, B. I. 



The Market. 



The approaching Easter-tide was her- 

 alded last week by a gradual stiffening 

 in prices all along the line, roses and 

 carnations jumping from 5 cents to 25 

 cents each at wholesale. As the Holy 

 week approaches, reports do not give 

 any encouragement for a plentiful sup- 

 ply of first quality lilies; A-1 stock 

 promises to be one of the scarcest ar- 

 ticles in the local list. 



Potted bulbous plants are in evidence 

 everywhere in great quantities. The 

 last days of last week brought almost 

 a perfect avalanche of them, the warm 

 days having drawn the heads up to such 

 a size that the growers were forced to 

 unload at any price. The result has 

 been a low mark, but the public that has 

 thought to anticipate Easter and has 

 taken advantage of the low prices will 

 find themselves flowerless when Easter 

 Sunday comes. 



Violets are even scarcer than prime 

 lilies and will bring the best prices that 

 have been paid for violets in this city 

 in many years. There is considerable 

 demand for lily of the valley, espe- 

 cially potted pips, pans with six and 

 eight shoots selling at retail for 75 

 cents to $2. 



Various Notes. 



An organization has been perfected, 

 to be known as the Narragansett Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Association, and 

 ofScers have been elected. Meeting 

 nights have been set and plans are un- 

 der way for a midsummer flower show 

 in the south county. Meetings will be 

 held in the parish house of the Episcopal 

 church at Narragansett, on the first 

 Tuesday of each month, and all inter- 

 ested in horticulture have been invited 

 to affiliate themselves with the move- 

 ment. Chester O. Childs, of Peace 

 Dale, has been elected president; Con- 

 rad Vernstrom, of Wakefield, is vice- 

 president; James Mackie, of Narragan- 

 sett, is secretary, and James C. Garrie, 

 of Peace Dale, is treasurer. An execu- 

 tive committee, consisting of Chester 

 O. Childs, Conrad Vernstrom, James D. 

 Nail, John Cirwein and William Matson, 

 has been elected. 



Thomas Curley is busy with the pre- 

 paratory work about the state house 

 grounds, on Capitol Hill.
