PROVIDENCE, E. I. 



The Market. 



There was last week the most activity 

 in the local market that there has been 

 this season and the indications are that 

 the improvement will be noticeable each 

 week until the Lenten period. Three or 

 four large society weddings, with pre- 

 ceding receptions, teas, showers and 

 other functions, occasioned a lively de- 

 mand for cut flowers and decorations. 

 Funeral work has also continued a prom- 

 inent factor. Chrysanthemums are com- 

 ing in more plentifully and are larger 

 and better daily. 



Various Notes. 



Invitations have been sent out for the 

 marriage of "Willis S. Pino, the seeds- 

 man of Washington street, during the 

 coming week. 



Burke & Burns have made extensive 

 alterations and improvements in their 

 rose houses. All the interior woodwork 

 has been replaced by cement. Their cut 

 is fine and large. John Burke was in 

 Worcester and Springfield last week, 

 combining business and pleasure. 



George L. Stillman, of Westerly, won 

 first prize for the best display of dah- 

 lias, the only prize offered, at the big 

 fair at Danbury, Conn., last week. 



N. Darrell Harvey is building an ad- 

 dition to his greenhouse at 114 Water- 

 man street. 



James Shaw has installed an exten- 

 sive electric equipment at his range at 

 Slatersville, including telephonic con- 

 nections. 



Henry C. Neubrandt and his wife left 

 last week for a stay with relatives in 

 New York and Philadelphia. They at- 

 tended the world's series. 



L. J. Renter, of Westerly, recently 

 received certificates of merit from the 

 horticultural shows at Boston and New 

 York for the Red Prince rose, a product 

 of English soil, now being raised in 

 Westerly. 



William H. Tarbox, of West Green- 

 wich, familiarly known locally as the 

 dahlia king, has been at Danbury, 

 Conn., the last week, attending the an- 

 nual fair. He had a large exhibit of 

 dahlias and made an immense floral 

 horse entirely of white asters.
