 ner roses with white sweet peas and 

 valley, tied with shell-pink ribbon. The 

 store force was kept hustling last week.

 geraniums and calendulas, all in bloom. 



J. H. Eanny was in an auto collision 

 last week, but escaped severe injury.

 quisite shades.

 commencement work and numerous 

 small weddings. At the Elmwood store.

PROVIDENCE, E. I. 



The Market. 



Members of the trade in this ^ city 

 and vicinity experienced some activity 

 last week, numerous .calls for gradua- 

 tions, weddings and other social func- 

 tions, together with a number of 

 funerals, materially increasing the de- 

 mand for bouquets, baskets and dec- 

 orative plants. This spring the down- 

 town stores, for almost the first time, 

 have been carrying large supplies of 

 wild azalea and rhododendron blossoms 

 to ready sales. Prices are slightly 

 above normal for this time of the year. 

 Hoses were decidedly short in quantity 

 during the week. 



Various Notes. 



The greenhouses of Samuel Kinder, 

 Giles S. Congdon, William L, McKee, 

 Le Baron Bradford, Frederick A. Geisler 

 and Edward Edgar, all at Bristol, and 

 a number of smaller greenhouses in that 

 vicinity, suffered damage in a hail 

 storm June 26, many hundreds of panes 

 being broken in the roofs and much 

 damage done to plants inside the 

 houses. The greenhouse on the estate 

 of Frederick A. Ballou, at Nyatt, was 

 wrecked by the storm and one of the 

 houses in Charles H. Hunt's range on 

 Burnside street, this city, lost many 

 panes. 



The largest June flower exhibition by 

 the Ehode Island Horticultural Society 

 in several years was held last week in 

 the ballroom of the Narragansett hotel. 

 The sweet peas, roses and peonies 

 shown were in splendid condition, while 

 an unusual display of orchids was in 

 evidence. The committee in charge con- 

 sisted of Eugene A. Appleton, Joshua 

 Vose, Cornelius Hartstra and two lay- 

 men. 



Mr. and Mrs. George L. Stillman, of 

 Westerly, left last week for California. 



Charles Smith attended the Zionist 

 convention at Boston last week. 



Eichard Hogan has the sympathy of 

 a. large circle of friends in the death
