PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



The fiiiiil days of the pri'-Lfnt.'ii sea- 

 son have been busy ones for the florists. 

 Sales in potted plants in bloom have 

 been active. While there has been a 

 slight shading off in wholesale priees, it 

 has not been reflected in any material 

 clianso in the retail figures. Although 

 there have been no large social func- 

 tions so far this season, as a whole, it 

 has been a fairly satisfactory one, the 

 larger number of small gatherings hav- 

 ing created a demand that has ke])t ]>ace 

 with the supply.

 are the Westminster Greenhouses, the
