THE NEW LIGHT 



MAGENTA POMPON 



QUEEN MARIE 



We bare grown it four years and know it is a good money- being strong and stiff enough to support themselves. Flow- 

 maker. Very productive. Planted in June from 2- inch pots, [1 ers very double. Holds petals until dry. Plenty of foliage— 

 with two pinchings, you can get 15 to 18 sprays per plant, LI excellent as a pot plant as well as for cutting. We offer this 

 each spray carrying 15 to 25 flowers. Needs no tying, stems as a money-maker for florists. 



From 2-inch pots, $8.00 per 100, $76.00 per 1000. Delivery at once.

WOBCESTEB, MASS. 



The Market. 



Retail trade has picked up wonder- 

 fully in the last two weeks, in spite 

 of bad weather and no large functions 

 of any importance. Eegular trade has 

 been steady and the outlook is promis- 

 ing. There are several large wedding 

 decorations in sight and the public is 

 much more generous in its outlays for 

 flowers. Flowers in general are plenti- 

 ful and the quality is fine. There has 

 been a marked shortage in first-class 

 roses, but they are now becoming more 

 plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The florists' windows in general have 

 beautiful displays. Lange had a fine 

 window last week of pink tulips and 

 freesias, which he sold at popular prices. 

 Randall made a specialty of the differ- 

 ent sizes of Bird's-nest ferns. Little- 

 field's windows displayed spring plants 

 and flowers. 



Lange has the decoration at the Hotel 

 Bancroft for the Jewish order of the 

 L O. B. B., as well as several other ban- 

 quet decorations, this week. 



Madaus reports trade satisfactory and 

 is making a specialty of violets in small 

 bunches. H. L. 



PROVIDENCE, E. I. 



The Market. 



As the Lenten season approaches, 

 business shows a slight improvement, 

 numerous belated social functions call- 

 ing for decorations and cut flowers. The 

 growers are busy in their preparation 

 of potted stock for Easter. From pres- 

 ent appearances there will be a good 

 supply of all kinds of cut flowers and 

 potted stock. 



Various Notes. 



Smith the Florist, on Washington 



street, had a busy week, with flfteen 



designs for one funeral February 4. 



Wm. Cohen has resigned his position 



here. 



James E. Burke, gardener for James 

 A. Foster, was elected president of 

 the Antlers Club at Warwick last 

 week. 



The Providence Sunday Journal in a 

 recent issue had an interesting illus- 

 trated article on orchid raising at the 

 greenhouses of Edgar Nock. 



There was an unusually large number 

 of designs at the funeral of Frank Mc- 

 Fee, of Woonsocket, last week. A. Vose, 

 Drabble Bros, and W. H. Flye had the 

 major part of the work. W. H. M.
