Department, last week. More than forty 

 pieces were counted. Charles Hunt, of 

 South Providence, had several of these. 



The cold wave which struck here Jan- 

 uary 14 dropped the temperature to a 

 minimum of 5 degrees Saturday morning. 

 This is the first time that the greenhouse 

 men have had a serious pull on their coal 

 bins. 



Jesse B. Mowry, of Gloucester, has 

 been reappointed by the General Assem- 

 bly as State Commissioner of Forestry.

The Market 



Business is still dull. There is not 

 a great deal of stock, so it would seem 

 that if there were a little spurt in the 

 demand, there would not be enough flow- 

 ers to go around. If business improves 

 and the supply of stock does not increase, 

 there will be a good, stiff rise in prices 

 and things ought to go along at a merry 

 clip. 



The supply of stock is not heavy. 

 Keally good roses are scarce. Beauties 

 are selling well and red roses of other 

 varieties are in demand. The cut of car- 

 nations is increasing, but even with 

 the quiet business there is not an over- 

 supply of them. Sweet peas are com- 

 ing in larger quantities and are selling 

 at much lower prices and more slowly. 

 Violets, too, are coming strong and are 

 not selling so well. They are fine in 

 quality, especially some from the east. 

 Lilies seem to be more in demand than 

 anything else, and the price on them holds 

 up well. Judging from the reports from 

 other markets, I suppose we have no 

 kick coming, as they all report business 

 as slow. 



The charity ball failed to bring forth 

 the anticipated demand for violets and 

 sweet peas. The ball hardly created a 

 ripple, so far as the demand was con- 

 cerned. The market was well stocked 

 with this class of goods, in the hope that 

 they would all be sold out at high prices, 

 but there was quite a large supply left 

 over. 



Various Notes. 



Park Superintendent J. W. Rodgers is 

 in Columbus, O., attending a convention. 



William Dilger and Mr. Hinchman, of 

 the Park Board of Detroit, Mich., were 

 callers last week on their way to Vir- 

 ginia, 



The executive committee of the Cin- 

 cinnati Florists' Society met at E. E. 

 Gillett's, last Friday afternoon. They 

 got down to business at once and, 

 after some discussion, the chairmen 

 of the various committees to have charge 

 of the S. A. F. convention were named. 

 All of the appointments will be con- 

 firmed Saturday night, January 23, when 

 there will be a general meeting of the 

 society at Weiland & dinger 's, 136 East 

 Third street. It is expected that this 

 meeting will be largely attended, as busi- 

 ness of great importance will be trans- 

 acted. 



E. G. Gillett will attend the meeting of 

 the carnation convention at Indianapo- 

 lis next week. C. J. Ohmee.
