PROVIDENCE, R. L 



Trade Conditions. 



Business holds up well, and with some 

 of the downtown stores the month of Au- 

 gust has been far better than that of a 

 year ago. Asters continue to hold the 

 center of the stage and are in good sup- 

 ply and quality. The lighter shades of 

 pink and the whites, together with deli- 

 cate lavenders, are the most popular. 

 Roses are coming better and carnations 

 have shown a marked improvement since 

 the rains of a week ago. Funeral work 

 kept nearly everybody busy last week, 

 and several large orders were filled. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Timothy O'Connor were 

 guests at the luncheon g^ven at the Nar- 

 ragansett Pier Casino August 16, by Dr.

Buckskin Greenhouse Hose 



%-lnob, ISo per toot, oonpl*d, f. o. b. Detroit. 



Furnished in continnous lengths of 500 feet, without seam, joint or 



connection, in }4 and U inch sizes only. An exceptionally high-grade 



Florists' hose; with a double woven jacket insertion instead of cotton duck, 



and with specially selected rubber in the inner tube and cover. 



The double woven jacket construction makes a stronger hose than can be obtained 

 from cotton duck, and absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening at seam— 

 a common cause of failure of garden hose made on cotton duck. This construction 

 also gives a more flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. 



Buckskin Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure of 500 pounds per 



square inch, although its bursting pressure is far in excess of this.
