PROVIDENCE, R. I, 



The Market. 



Trade is quiet here and will be for 

 a few weeks yet, until the sojourners at 

 the seashore and in the country return 

 and the outdoor gardens are depleted. 

 Funeral work has occasioned some busi- 

 ness, but that is about all. Asters, 

 dahlias and gladioli are abundant and 

 good. Roses are in excess of active de- 

 mand and carnations are showing great 

 improvement and strength. The growers 

 are completing the overhauling and reno- 

 vation of their houses and benching is 

 practically finished with the majority. 

 One downtown dealer, Saturday, adver- 

 tised 5,000 asters at 21 cents a dozen. 



Dahlia Show. 



The annual dahlia and aster show of the 

 Rhode Island Horticultural Society was 

 held in this city September 17 and 18, and 

 was the best in the society's history. 

 Benched under the direction of the exhibi- 

 tion committee, composed almost entirely 

 of practical florists, the display was satis- 

 factory. William Appleton was superin- 

 tendent of the hall. The exhibition of 

 dahlias, especially in the cactus vari- 

 eties, surpassed any ever made in this 

 city, and was contributed to by nearly all 

 of the specialists in this vicinity. Among 

 these were Mrs. H. A. Jahn, of New 

 Bedford; William Tarbox, of West 

 Greenwich; Joshua Vose, of Pontiac; 

 Herr Prest, of this city; E. E. Howard, 

 of Eden Park; George H. Walker, of 

 North Dighton, Mass.; Joseph Vance, of 

 East Providence, and William Appleton, 

 of this city. 



In the awards, Herr Prest received 

 first and second prizes for the best single 

 dahlias of any named variety in the 

 show, introduction of 1907 or later, with 

 Referee and Macmillan, respectively. 



For general display, 100 bottles, Mrs. 

 H. A. Jahn first, William Tarbox sec- 

 ond, George H. Walker third. Show
