January weather is proving open. A 

 good deal of rain has fallen of late, 

 which will be welcome. Ice dealers have 

 as yet secured but little of their supply, 

 frost not holding for over a day or two 

 at a time. W. N. Craig. 



PROVIDENCE, R. L 



The Market 



There was a slight improvement in 

 general business during last week, al- 

 though the dark days were not auspicious 

 for cut flower business. Eoses and car- 

 nations remain the staple, but excellent 

 tulips and daffodils are arriving in good 

 numbers. Violets are improving and roses 

 are of better crop and better color. 

 Funeral work has been brisk and there 

 has been an increased demand for cut 

 flowers for social functions.

 Island Horticultural Society was held

 respective stations, Charles S. Macnair 

 presiding. On the president's table was 

 a large bunch of white and pink chrysan- 

 themums that attracted considerable at- 

 tention and were the subject of animated 

 discussion later in the evening. These 

 were shown by James Hockey, who re- 

 ported that he was cutting them con- 

 tinuously and that he had a large num- 

 ber yet to cut. He announced that he 

 thought he would have blooms for Eas- 

 ter, The blooms were NeUie Pockett and
