NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



The outlook for Memorial day is 

 excellent. However, owing to the ad- 

 vanced season, a great many of the 

 usual outdoor flowers will be gone. Bed- 

 ding plants of all kinds are moving 

 well, geraniums as usual being the 

 favorites. 



Various Notes. 



Joseph V. Peirce is contemplating 

 the erection of a large greenhouse this 

 summer, to take the place of two 

 smaller ones that he will tear down. 



"William P. Peirce had an excellent 

 window the latter part of the week. 

 The subject was "Votes for Women." 

 Mr. Peirce carried out the color 

 scheme in yellow in a pleasing way. 



Post & Gray have opened a tempo- 

 rary stand in the Steiger-Dudgen Co. 

 department store. They are carrying 

 a line of wreaths and plants for the 

 Memorial day trade. W. M. P. 



PROVIDENOE, E. I. 



The Market. 



The development of the local mar- 

 ket is noticeable in the increasing de- 

 mand for flowers that up to within 

 two or three years were seldom, if ever, 

 seen on sale. This is the case with 

 gladioli, snapdragons and some other 

 varieties. In gladioli, especially, the 

 •demand has grown to considerable pro- 

 portions. The effects of Mothers' day 

 were felt well along into the week, as 

 the demand for that day required such 

 close picking that there was a dearth 

 of some flowers until after the middle 

 of the week. While there were no 

 large weddings or important social 

 functions during the week, the large 

 number of funerals made sufficient de- 

 mand to keep the supply well down. 



Various Notes. 



Alfred W. Vose, of Woonsocket, is 

 rejoicing in the advent of a bouncing 

 baby at his home on Cumberland Hill. 



Howard Almy, who has been at New 

 Smyrna, Fla., for several months, has 

 returned to his old home at Johnston 

 and is preparing to reenter the green- 

 house business. 



Charles H. Hunt, who has been suf- 

 fering from a severe attack of bron- 

 chitis, has recovered. 



Louis J. Renter, of S. J. Renter & 

 Son, Westerly, was in New York last 

 ■week on business.
