and kept through the winter, and in the 

 spring set out and well cared for during 

 the summer until they go to seed, when 

 the crop is harvested. It is a business 

 full of details and must be learned by 

 long experience. To write out these de- 

 tails so as to be of use to your corre- 

 spondent would require a good-sized 

 pamphlet. It is an interesting work, 

 that of seed growing, but to be success- 

 ful it must be learned, just as any other 

 business is learned."

Cturent Comment. 



The cooler weather of the last few 

 days has greatly stimulated business and 

 Saturday, October 10, is reported gener- 

 ally as having been the best since last 

 Easter. Carnations and roses furnish 

 the bulk of the stock at present, though 

 violets and chrysanthemums are begin- 

 ning to make their appearance. Among 

 the former, Leonard Almy, of East 

 Providence, is contributing the finest, 

 although Albert Holscher and L. Wil- 

 liams are bringing in some good ones. 

 In chrysanthemums, Mr. Holscher is in 

 the van with his early Golden Glow. E. 

 E. King, of Attleboro; John Macrae, of 

 this city, and Mr. Almy are also cutting 

 some good blooms. The mums are bring- 

 ing $1.50 to $2.25 per dozen at retail.
