NEWPORT, E. I. 



The Market. 



The numerous social functions among 

 the fashionable set during the last few 

 weeks have made business for the flo- 

 rists unusually brisk, while the dec- 

 orators have had their hands full. 

 Prices range well, with the usual scale 

 here. Orchids and lilies of the valley 

 appear to be more than usually plenti- 

 ful. 



Various Notes. 



One of the most unique decorations 

 seen at Newport in several years was 

 that for the Mother Goose, or fairy 

 tales ball, at Crossways, the summer 

 home of Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, and was 

 done by Ralph Armstrong. In connec- 

 tion with this function, a dinner was 

 given at EosecliflFe by Mrs. Herrmann 

 Oelrichs, where the elaborate table dec- 

 orations were by Wadley & Smythe. 



C. A. Schulz is planning to erect a 

 handsome residence on the Bruen es- 

 tate, which he purchased last fall. 



F. W. Smythe, of Wadley & Smythe, 

 has purchased the Chase farm, consist- 

 ing of about seventy-five acres, at Mid- 

 dletown, for nursery purposes.

James F. Barclay reports great re- 

 turns from 12,000 square feet of his 

 glass. When near the close of harvest- 

 ing an immense crop of sweet peas, 

 with such stems and flowers that they 

 brought double price, he put in potted 

 plants of Comet tomatoes close to the 

 roots of the peas. In two weeks from 

 the time the last peas were cut and the 

 vines were removed, he began picking 

 tomatoes and the crop appeared like 

 magic. He is selling them for 12 cents 

 per pound in 100-pound lots.
