PROVIDENCE, R. L 



The Market. 



The new year opened with a rush of 

 work for the florists and decorators, the 

 numerous coming out halls, together with 

 receptions, dinners, teas and other social 

 functions, making a decided improvement 

 in tne local situation. Then, too, the in- 

 auguration of state officials, as well as of 

 the municipal governments of the five 

 cities, also stimulated the demand for cut 

 flowers and floral designs. It is conser- 

 vatively estimated that at the inaugura- 

 tions of 1908 more than $2,000 worth of 

 floral work fell to the florists, being well 

 scattered among the leading firms of the 

 five cities. Providence, naturally, receiv- 

 ing the cream. This year the record of 

 1908 was left far in the rear and few 

 years have witnessed such rich displays 

 as were to be seen when the new legisla- 

 tive bodies took up their duties. 



Viiriotis Notes. 



There were forty-six designs and bou- 

 quets at the funeral of Ira E. Goff, Jan- 

 uary 9. These included several emblem- 

 atic pieces from various associations with 

 which the young man was afUiated. Mrs. 

 A. Olsen, of East Providence, furnished 

 seventeen of the pieces. 



John Gunn, of the Pine Grove Conser- 

 vatories, Woonsocket, reports a big run 

 on potted plants and funeral pieces. 



Simon Colitz, of the Kustic Flower 

 Store, has removed from 75 Main street 

 to 306 Main street, Woonsocket. Previous 

 to his removal he conducted a successful 

 auction sale. 



Fred B. Luther furnished the handsome 

 floral arch of maidenhair and American 

 Beauties that was presented to Mayor 

 Fletcher on inauguration day by the Cen- 

 tral Club. 



W. B. Hazard furnished the immense 

 fac-simile of the state seal that was pre- 

 sented to Governor Pothier. The anchor 

 was of violets and the outline of the seal 

 was of carnations. 



Edward Brooks and O'Connor have 

 been especially busy with elaborate decor- 

 ations since Christmas. 



The floral pieces received by Governor 

 Pothier on inauguration day were sent 

 by him to the Church of the Holy Ghost 

 to decorate the altars on the occasion of 

 pontifical requiem mass for the repose of 

 the souls of those who lost their Uves in 

 the Italian earthquake. 



At the inaugurations of state and city 

 officers, O. H. Williams & Son had dght 

 bouquets and four baskets; John F. 

 Wood had six bouquets and four baskets;

Gkntucmkn:— Some years ago we bought 

 of you a flve-gallon Simplex Sprayer. Have 

 been using It constantly, with TO-BAK-INE, 

 since that time, with splendid success. We 

 find now that the plunger on the air pump is 

 worn, and want a new one. If you can sup- 

 ply It, would like to have you send us a new 

 one at once. Yours very truly
