fhe retail flarists, whose cards appear on this and the two following pages, are prepared to fill orders from other florists for local delivery on the isul 



basis. If you wish to be represented under this heading, now is the time to place your order.

to obtain all the violets wanted at any 

 time and at a fair price. Whether the 

 growers will combine and cinch the store 

 men this coming season is impossible to 

 say at this time. The possibly lessened 

 demand which we are liable to face may 

 have the effect of making the Italian 

 growers more reasonable in their de- 

 mands. G. 



PROVIDENCE. 



The Market 



Everything is asters here at the pres- 

 ent time in the flower line. They are un- 

 usually fine and abundant, notwithstand- 

 ing the ravages done by grubs. The 

 light blooms find better demand and 

 prices than the darker, although the lat- 

 ter are worked in to good advantage in 

 many of the funeral pieces. The deli- 

 cate shades have also been much sought 

 for decorative purposes for weddings. 

 Carnations have been propagated by 

 nearly every grower hereabouts for large 

 crops, and all are looking healthy and 

 promising. They are just commencing 

 to flower, but are so short stemmed as to 

 be useless as yet for market. 



Various Notes. 



Donald C. Wilson, a well-known bogus 

 check operator, was arrested recently in 

 Springfield, Mass., and from the photo- 

 graphs sent out from that city it is be- 

 lieved that Wilson is the man who worked 

 bogus checks on S. J. Beuter & Son Co., 

 of Westerly, several days previously. If 

 Wilson is the man who swindled Beuter 

 & Son, he gave the name of James Web- 

 ster at that time. He ordered oak leaves 

 and palms for a wedding and presented 

 a check for $21.50 on the City National 

 bank, payable to Arthur J. Raymond, 

 and received a considerable balance in 

 cash. 



The greenhouse of the Norwood Flo- 

 ral Co., at Norwood, which was partly 

 destroyed by fire last February, is being 

 rebuilt. The office, in the center of the 

 building, is being enlarged and will be 

 constructed almost entirely of glass, and 

 the new structure will be a decided im- 

 provement over the old one. 



One of the automobile parties that 

 took luncheon at the Mathewson house, 

 Narragansett Pier, recently consisted of 

 Mr. and Mrs. Timothy L. O'Connor and 

 Miss Lillian J. O'Connor. 



George L. Stillman, at Westerly, has 

 over 300 varieties of dahlias under culti- 

 vation and is taking orders for the flow- 

 ers for spring delivery. 



Frank-^-S<'hellinger, of Riverside, has 

 returned from a vacation of two weeks 

 spent in Maine. 



Adrian Van Leeuwen, a landscape gar- 

 dener who conducts a large nursery near 

 Bellingham, Mass., was granted a mar- 

 riage license in this city a few days ago.

The structural work on the new green- 

 houses at Pine Grove cemetery, Woon- 

 socket, is about completed, with the ex- 

 ception of some glass still to be set near 

 where the old potting shed used to be. 

 John A. Payne, of Newark, N. J., is 

 doing the work. The new houses will 

 be 29x108 feet. Only one tempera) ure 

 was available in the old greenhouses, but 

 in the new range there will be three di- 

 visions, each separately piped. 



William E. Chappell is cutting some 

 fine asters for the local market, the yield 

 of his fields this year being remarkable. 

 He states that he has been bothered to a 

 considerable extent by grubs, finding 

 them much more numerous in new ground 

 than in old. He does not sterilize his 

 soil or manure, but uses the raw mate-
