PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



Tlie Market. 



A number of weddings last week 

 caused a slight business activity,) and 

 the fall exhibition of the Bhode Island 

 Horticultural Society brought about a 

 larger demand for cut flowers. It is 

 expected that the fall season will open 

 briskly about October 1, as a number 

 of society weddings are announced for 

 the early fall. Chrysanthemums are 

 arriving in large quantities. 



Horticultural Society Exhibition. 



The annual fall exhibition of the 

 Bhode Island Horticultural Society was 

 held at the Narragansett hotel, Septem- 

 ber 16 and 17. While the show was not 

 up to its usual standard in number of 

 entries, the quality of the exhibits was 

 satisfactory. Dahlias, asters and gla- 

 dioli were the principal features of the 

 flower show. 



The display of gladioli was far supe- 

 rior to anything ever seen in this city. 

 A large exhibit was entered by Car- 

 michael Bros., of Shannock, and A. P. 

 Lensen. The dahlias constituted the 

 larger part of the exhibition. The as- 

 ters fell behind, the exceedingly hot 

 weather causing them to droop. The 

 judges were William Gray, of Newport, 

 and Henry C. Neubrand, of Cromwell, 

 Conn. 



Various Notes. 



The flower exhibition at the King- 

 ston fair was the best ever held. This 

 was due largely to the magnificent 

 showing of gladioli by Carmichael 

 Bros., of Shannock, which was said to 

 excel any showing made during the 

 forty-one years the fair has been held. 

 Another factor contributing to the suc- 

 cess of this department was the exhibi- 

 tion of dahliEis, by George L. Stillman, 

 of Westerly. 



Among the larger exhibitors at the 

 Greystone Horticultural Society were 

 .1. Lewis Childs, Inc., Flowerfield, N. 

 Y.; Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, 

 and D. Black mar.
