PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



With an unusual number of funerals, 

 receptions, weddings and graduations, 

 and several dark, rainy days, last week 

 gave the florists a good call to meet the 

 supply, especially on carnations. In con- 

 sequence, on January 29 good carnations 

 were at a premium. This dearth was 

 made the more conspicuous because of 

 the call for this particular flower on ac- 

 count of McKinley day. In recognition 

 of this occasion a call was made for 500 

 Beacons for the dinner of the Economic 

 and Conservative clubs. Secretary of the 

 Interior Richard A. Ballinger being the 

 principal speaker. 



bulbous stock has furnished an accept- 

 able acquisition to the regular stock and 

 daffodils, narcissi, tulips and hyacinths 

 have helped out to a considerable extent 

 in filling funeral orders. In connection 

 with funeral pieces the recurring favor 

 of callas is very noticeable, and whereas, 

 for a couple of years past no callas have 

 been used for this purpose, they are now 

 in general, constant and increasing de- 

 mand. 



Various Notes. 



In the annual report which George H. 

 Webb, commissioner of industrial statis- 

 tics of Khode Island, submitted to the 

 general assembly last week, considerable 

 space is devoted to the consideration 

 of horticultural establishments in this 

 state. He reports that there are 137 

 horticultural establishments that are not 

 located on farms, but which return 

 more than $300 a year to their pro- 

 prietors. The number of square feet of 

 land under glass is given as 1,233,320. 

 The value of the products of these estab- 

 lishments for 1908 amounted to $423,176. 

 The average number of wage earners em- 

 ployed is given as 232, not considering a 

 proprietor an employee in "one man 

 establishments." Wages paid amounted 

 to $97,216, or twenty-three per cent of 

 the total amount of sales. The average 

 amount of sales per establishment is 

 shown to be $3,088. 



The Newport Horticultural Society, at 

 its regular meeting January 25, with 

 President James Robertson in the chair, 

 adopted a new policy for making the
