PROVIDENCE, B. I. 



The Market. 



The usual summer quietness is now in 

 evidence, and while there is a slight de- 

 mand constantly for cut flowers, aside 

 from funeral work, there is compara- 

 tively little doing among the downtown 

 stores. Among the growers, however, 

 preparations are being made for a 

 greatly increased business next season. 

 Roses remain in good stock. Carnations 

 are nil, but aaters are beginning to 

 make their appearance and will fill the 

 wants during the next couple of months. 

 Gladioli are also abundant and find 

 ready sale. 



Building Operations. 



It is many years since this section 

 has witnessed so much new glass going 

 up as has been the case this spring. 

 On all sides new houses have just been 

 completed or are about finished. J. A. 

 Budlong & Son Co. has recently com- 

 pleted six new houses, each 250 feet in 

 length, in addition to the range off 

 Pontiac avenue, at Auburn. These will 

 be devoted almost entirely to roses, 

 one being put to Beauties alone. 



Joseph Koppelman is having two 

 large houses erected at East Providence, 

 where a few months ago he purchased 

 the entire property of the Brookside 

 Greenhouses. E. E. Howard, of Au- 

 burn, has one new house; Albert Hol- 

 scher, of Johnston, two new houses; 

 Samuel Kinder, one new one, on Hope 

 street, Bristol; William Pratt, a new 

 one, 40x100, at Long Meadow; Olney H. 

 Williams & Sons Co., two new ones at 

 their range on Hartford avenue, John- 

 ston; and Atidrew Olsen, one house off 

 TPawtucket avenue, near Silver Spring, 

 in East Providence. 



Various Notes. 



Louis J. Reuter, of S. J. Reuter & 

 Son, Inc., Westerly, wjiSi^.a business 

 visitor in New York last week. 



From all sections of the state come 

 discouraging reports of the invasion of 

 the army worm and its destruction. The 

 state, board of agriculture has taken 

 vigorous steps to assist in checking the 

 pest and several of the tree wardens and 

 others in the various towns are lending 

 their assistance. 



Neal Ward, tree warden at Cumber- 

 land, has just completed an inspection 

 of all the trees in the town streets aod 

 will soon purchase at least 100 to re- 

 place those taken out. 



Joseph Koppelman has transferred to 

 Lizzie Max land with improvements 

 thereon on Pawtucket avenue, East 

 Providence. 



The Supreme Court last week award- 

 ed the W. E. Barrett Co. $15,500 dam-

 alphabetical location, where full infor- 

 mation will be found in regard to it. 



SYNOP£IS OF PLANT KINGDOM. 



This is one of the most important fea- 

 tures of the new edition. It constitutes 

 a general running account of the 

 classes, orders and groups of plants, 

 with a brief sketch or characterization 

 of 215 of the leading families compris- 

 ing those that yield practically all the 

 cultivated plants. These family de- 

 scriptions give the botanical characters 

 and the number of genera and species 

 and the ranges.

 terms that are used in the work and 

 in similar works.

 tween 2,000 and 3,000 Latin words used

 page sepia halftones, and more than

 cure the best cultural advices for the 

 plants requiring peculiar or particular 

 handling.
