The Rorists' Review 



NOVBMBBB 4, 1916. 



PROVIDENCE, E, I. 



The Market. 



The business done last week was by 

 far the best that has been experienced 

 here this season and, generally speak- 

 ing, everybody cleaned up well. While 

 there does not appear to be so large a 

 supply as usual at this season, there is 

 a sufficiency for the demand. There 

 has been an unusual demand for au- 

 tumn foliage for window decorations 

 and those florists who were forehanded 

 have added a tidy sum to their receipts. 



Chrysanthemums are the strength of 

 the market, both as to demand and 

 supply, with prices about the same as 

 this time last year.* Roses are coming 

 in well and carnations are showing con- 

 stant improvement. The vanguard of 

 violets have arrived but are making no 

 perceptible impression, nor will they 

 while the mums last.
