 can't be helped" said Benjamin 

 Franklin.

 consign stuff to the dump.

Trade Conditions. 



With a short supply and stiffer prices, 

 there is a stronger demand for cut flow- 

 ers in this market than is usual at this 

 season. One reason for this is to be 

 found in the largely increased number of 

 whist, bridge and other social parties, at 

 which it has become customary to have 

 vases of cut flowers, as well as decora- 

 tions and favors of choice blooms, mostly 

 roses and carnations, although in some 

 of the more exclusive and wealthy sets 

 orchids are much used. 



Bulbous stock continues to arrive in 

 excellent condition and finds ready sale 

 in pans. Funeral work is good and 

 decorative calls are numerous.

The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of 

 Rhode Island met at its rooms, 98 West- 

 minster street, on Monday evening,

 large attendance, with President Charles 

 Macnair in the chair. Harry Clarke, of 

 this city, and B. F. Colwell, of Barring- 

 ton, were elected to membership. An in- 

 vitation from the Florists' and Gar- 

 deners' Club of Boston, to be its guest 

 the following night, was accepted, and at 

 the appointed time a delegation consist- 

 ing of President Charles S. Macnair, 

 Secretary William E. Chappell, Treas- 

 urer James Hockey, Alexander Macrae, 

 John Macrae, David McCoid, Charles 

 Hartstra, William Appleton, William B. 

 Hazard and Michael Sweeney made the 

 pilgrimage. 



James B. Canning, chairman of the 

 "business boom" committee on flowers, 

 addressed the meeting at considerable 

 length and stated what was desired, and 

 in response to his call the contributions 

 were liberal and general.

 was given over to a meeting of the Rhode 

 Island Horticultural Society Wednesday
