The Market. 



As compared with last week, trade 

 has dropped off considerably and fu- 

 neral work is the chief outlet for flow- 

 ers. Carnations are holding out well, 

 though some varieties are showing the 

 ravages of the season. Boses are still 

 plentiful but of a depreciated quality. 

 Sweet peas show a slight improvement 

 in quality. Asters will soon arrive; 

 in fact, a few extra early asters are 

 already seen and find a ready sale. 

 Among the growers there is great ac- 

 tivity, but only in putting the houses 

 in shape, not in building. Some re- 

 modeling is being done. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Davis, superintendent of the 

 Eiverside cemetery, is building an iron- 

 frame house, 30x90, for the growing of 

 Wlt"flrrwers and bedding plants. Thomas 

 <^uinn, one of Mr. Davis' assistants, 

 slipped while pruning a tree recently, 

 falling a distance of twenty feet. He 

 is confined to his home with three 

 broken ribs. 



Mrs. Hoffman, wife of William Hoff- 

 man, St., is enjoying a vacation in the 

 mountains. 



The work of repairing benches and 

 glass is going on at J. J. Kelley's, of 

 Valley Falls. 



Mr, Meade, of the Fottler, Fiske, 

 Rawson Co., Boston, Mass., seedsmen, 

 called on the trade last week. 



Tree Warden E. O, Ronian, of Woon- 

 socket, has secured the aid of the fire 

 department in his war against the 

 brown-tail moth. 



Mr. Demers, of Jenks park. Central 

 Falls, reports to the police the theft of 

 many excellent S. A. Nutt geraniums 

 from the circular bed in the front of 

 the park. 



Charles W. Morey, of the Woonsocket 

 Hill Nurseries, Woonsocket, is receiv- 

 ing congratulations on the birth of a 

 son. 



William ^ Hoffman 's greenhouses, at 

 Pawtucket, will now be known as the 

 Frederick Hoffman Greenhouses. 



Charles Kane and Joseph Pierce, of 

 New Bedford, Mass., are spending their 

 vacations at Riverside^ R. I.

ST. JOHNS, MICH. 



On the unlucky date of July 13 a 

 terrific hail and rain storm visited this 

 vicinity and inflicted heavy damages 

 to the owners of crops of all kinds. 

 Everything outdoors suffered severely 

 eX«ept gladioli. Other plants were 

 beaten to the ground and theSr leaves 

 torn. The hail stones measured from 

 five to twelve inches in circumference; 

 many were as large as baseballs. 



Clarence E. Smith reports a heavy 

 loss in outdoor stock. In his green- 

 houses over 1,400 lights were broken. 



H. W. Holton lost about 300 lights in 

 his greenhouse. The heavy rain as well 

 as the large hail stones did much dam- 

 age to Stur n.
