The Market. 



Trade has been keeping up remarka- 

 bly well since Easter, especially on fu- 

 neral work. Stock has been quite 

 plentiful in the way of roses and car- 

 nations. Beauties are a little more 

 plentiful, with an increasing demand. 

 Some good stock is coming in. Some 

 fine Eichmond, Sunburst, Killarney, etc., 

 are seen. 



Carnations are fine, and they find a 

 ready sale, owing to the fact that most 

 of the bulbous stock is gone. Sweet 

 peas are fine, and some extra fancy stock 

 is to be seen. The demand has been 

 extra heavy on them, as they are used 

 more every day for corsage work. 



There is still a large quantity of lilies 

 among the growers, and it seems as 

 though some of them missed Easter by 

 a good many days. Violets are about 

 done. There are still some singles to be 

 had. There are still a few stragglers 

 in hyacinths. Valley is scarce again 

 for a few days; the demand is quite 

 good. Potted plants are moving quite 



. Various Notes. 



Sherman Stephens has been seriously 

 ill with gallstones for the last week or 

 two; at last report he was somewhat 

 better. 



Winters & Kramer are cutting some 

 extra fine sweet peas, especially some 

 Spencers, which have 18-inch stems and 

 find a ready sale at fancy prices. 



Mrs. Jones & Son are running the 

 cut flower business in the room formerly 

 occupied by Fred Bauman. 



C. A. Roth is now located at the 



Greenhouses, having moved everything 

 rom the store out there, where he can 

 take care of his telephone trade as well 

 as downtown. J, M. 



NEWPORT, E. I. 



John B. Sullivan was a business 

 visitor to Providence last week. 



Robert F. Melrose, superintendent of 

 the H. H. Rogers estate, and Miss Jen- 

 nie Boyd, daughter of James Boyd, for 

 many years gardener at Beechwood, the 

 Astor estate, were married at the Boyd 

 home recently. The young couple were 

 substantially remembered by their 

 many friends. 



The Newport Horticultural Society 

 held a ladies' night in Music Hall April 

 13, at which more than 100 members 

 and friends were present. The pro- 

 gram, arranged by the entertainment 

 committee, consisting of Andrew 8. 

 Meikle, John T. Allan and Frederick 

 <3arter, was interesting and diversified. 

 Vocal selections were given by Mrs. 

 Frank S. Hale, Miss Elaine Meikle and 

 John T. Allan, Jr., and violin selections
