PROVIDENCE, R. L 



The serious aspects of the coal ques- 

 tion upon the prospects of the flcrists' 

 business was one of the principal topics 

 discussed at the monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode 

 Island, in Swart 's lodge hall April 16. 

 In the absence of President J. F. Schel- 

 linger, the meeting was called to order 

 by Vice-President William Hill. There 

 was a good attendance and after a dis- 

 cussion of the Easter trade and condi- 

 tions, reports were made on the Boston 

 rose exhibition and there was a general 

 discussion also of the ravages of the 

 gj'psy moth upon trees, plants and 

 shrubs. 



The hardships that were experienced 

 by the florists during the big coal strike of 

 1903 were retold by the various members 

 and it was stated that if there should 

 be any increase over the present prices of

 be unable to make a profit next season. 

 The matter of excursions to some of 

 the larger greenhouses of the state was 

 discussed and a committee will be ap- 

 pointed to arrange several of these, also 

 several outings during the summer. 



NORTHERN TEXAS. 



A week of fine weather has started 

 the planting fever, the greenhouses are 

 crowded with purchasers and stock is 

 rapidly decreasing. Easter business in- 

 creased more than one-half over last 

 year. The growers who were fortunate 

 enough to be able to keep their Harrisii 

 lilies, sold out at good prices. The caJl 

 was for cut flowers. Fancy baskets and 

 trimmed pot plants are as yet unknown 

 here, but the same pleasing feature is 

 enacted on Easter as at Christmas, that 

 of placing offerings on the graves of

 forget those gone before. 



Landscape work has received an im- 

 petus this year. More of that class of 

 work has been done than ever before, 

 and, judging by the inquiries from al' 

 over this section of the state and the 

 two territories, there will be a great 

 deal of work done next fall.
