The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Fkbruaey 11, 1909. 



PROVIDENCE, R. L 



The Market 



After the unusual activity of the pre- 

 vious week, the business of last week ap- 

 peared especially dull. It was, however, 

 a fair average for the season. There 

 were few social functions and few funer- 

 als, so that the demand was largely cur- 

 tailed. There was a slight improvement 

 in the supply of about everything and the 

 prices sagged a little under those of the 

 week before. The dealers are complain- 

 ing that the week end sales on violets 

 have been badly cut into by the action 

 of one of the large drug stores, making 

 special Saturday bargain sales of violets 

 at 19 cents for bunches of twenty-five, 

 while a large department store has en- 

 tered the competition by offering similar 

 bunches for 15 cents. 



Various Notes. 



John Hay, caretaker for Mrs. William 

 Goddard at her summer estate at Potowo- 

 met Neck, Warwick, lost all of his house- 

 hold effects by the recent fire. Mr. Hay 

 was for several years florist and gardener 

 for several of the large private estates 

 in this vicinity. His brothers, William 

 and John, are in the greenhouse business 

 in this city and East Providence. 



Miss M. A. Cutler, for many years in 

 the retail florists' business in this city 

 and Woonsocket, is considering an offer 

 to enter the business in the latter city. 



The Newport Horticultural Society, 

 Monday evening, gave its eleventh an- 

 nual ball in Masonic hall, Newport, and, 

 as usual, the event was largely attended. 

 The ball room had been made into a floral 

 bower by the gardeners and decorators, 

 who are members of the society. The 

 floor was in charge of John T. Allen, who 

 was assisted by Daniel J. Coughlin, Her- 

 bert Bliss, P. F. Reynolds, Andrew S. 

 Meikle and John Urquhart. The com- 

 mittee of arrangements consisted of 

 James Robertson, Andrew S, Meikle, 

 John Urquhart, William F. Smith, John 

 T. Allen, Bruce Butterton, P. F. Rey- 

 nolds and Oscar Schultz. 



President Frank O. Field, of the Prov- 

 idence Board of Trade, has announced 

 the appointment of a committee of 200 

 of the leading business men of the city 

 to arrange for a mass meeting of 

 business men, which is to be heW later 

 this month for the purpose of organizing 

 a movement to boom the trade and in- 

 dustries of Providence. The florists' 

 trade is honored by the selection of a 

 number of those identified with the trade 

 as members of thfs committee. They are 

 as follows: William Appleton, James B.
