 Gtentlemen:- 



Please stop our regular adv. moaing at present 

 and give us just enough of your valuable space 

 to keep our name before the trade. We are 

 drawing to the close of the most successful 

 season In the Florists' Department we have had 

 in years, and at the present time, w hile we have 

 a reasonable quantity of about everything that 

 Florists use, we have no surpluses to advertise. 

 „ With the present to encourage us we are 



laying pipe" for future business on a bigger 

 scale than ever before. 



W. H. D.-K. 



Yours very truly, 



JAMXS VICK'S BOVS. 



on any quantity of lilac, which would 

 answer some purposes just as well as 

 flowers they would have given their good 

 money for. 



The planting of trees is not yet com- 

 pleted for the season, although the bulk 

 of the work is done. The several New- 

 port nurserymen, especially Mr. Vanicek, 

 of the Rhode Island Nurseries, also deal 

 extensively in bedding plants. The 



slackening in the line of nursery work 

 will enable them to give required atten- 

 tion to sales and shipments of geraniums 

 and other kinds of bedding plants. The 

 season for bedding that class of mate- 

 rial commences in earnest early in June 

 and will continue without a break-up to 

 the middle of June. There are immense 

 quantities of that stock needed here and 

 it is seldom that the end of the plant- 

 ing season finds the growers with a sur- 

 plus on their hands. On the contrary, 

 often large numbers have to be pur- 

 chased by them to fill orders. 



English ivy suffered to an unexpected 

 degree this winter. Even that which 

 was not killed outright had all the 

 foliage killed, necessitating the removal 

 with the shears. The unusual mortality 

 of ivy causes, of course, a big demand 

 for it, especially for large plants three 

 feet or over in height. As luck or some- 

 thing else would have it, Galvin had on 

 hand a large number of that size, for 

 which he hi^ ready sale at remunerative 

 prices. About three years ago ivy suf- 

 fered much the same as it did this year, 

 and then there was scarcely a plant to be 

 had in town. There even was consider- 

 able difficulty experienced by those in 

 need of it to procure all they wanted 

 anywhere. There is one grower in New- 



port who strikes anywhere from 10,000 

 to 20,000 ivies every fall, every one of 

 which he disposes of without the slight- 

 est difficulty, in flats and in 3-inch pots 

 at from $3 to $5 per hundred, in the 

 early spring. This year Wadley & 

 Smythe took the whole lot this man had. 



Wadley & Smythe are doing an im- 

 mense business in the laying out of 

 grounds in various parts of the country, 

 and it would seem that if that part of 

 the firm's business goes on increasing in 

 the future the way it has in the last year 

 or two, the retail florists' department 

 will be to them but a secondary matter. 

 This week they made some heavy ship- 

 ments of evergreens from their Newport 

 nursery to Ohio, and it is understood 

 that their output from this nursery, 

 which they have but recently purchased, 

 will total up to a sum nearly equal to 

 two-thirds of the amount the whole nur- 

 sery, including stock and buildings, cost 

 them. 



This week F. L. Zeigler has been re- 

 ceiving exceptionally fine Beauties from 

 Carl Jurgens. Unlike many growers in 

 other sections of the country, Mr. Jur- 

 gens finds the summer months fully as 

 profitable as those of the winter, and he 

 has facilities and equipment for the sup- 

 plying of roses and lily of the valley 

 especially for the Newport season, which 

 commences in the middle of June. 



There is one class or kind of flowers 

 that is not at all grown by commercial 

 men, strictly speaking, in Newport. I 

 mean orchids, and the demand for them 

 is decidedly on the increase. There is 

 one private place which is not occupied 

 by the owner and where the plants and 

 cut flowers are marketed. Quite a num- 

 ber of orchids are grown there, but not 

 enough to supply the trade of one florist 

 on the avenue. 



The men who were roaming through 

 Newport looking for gypsy moths did 

 not find any, but if they had been in- 

 structed to look for the San Jose scale 

 they would not have the same kind of a 

 story to tell. May Reillt. 



FiTHiAN, III. — Albert Harris reports a 

 good stock and active demand for it.
