PROVIDENCE. 



The Market 



Business is good with all the retailers 

 -and a}l of the downtown stores are 

 making handsome and attractive window 

 ■displays. Funeral orders continue to be 

 numerous, and as a rule the character 

 of the pieces demanded is of a better 

 class than for a number of years past. 

 In larger pieces callas are increasing in 

 popularity, after having been a some- 

 what slighted flower for two or three 

 vears. Freesia is also increasing in its 

 popularity. 



Potted stock is coming along in good 

 shape and in increasing quantities. A 

 .majority of the growers report good 

 stocks and plants sufficiently advanced 

 to be ready for Easter. 



Various Notes. 



Stephen Green, for H. Bayersdorfer & 

 €o., Philadelphia, was here January 30 

 on his way home from a several weeks' 

 successful trip through New England. 



Last week Kepresentative Sheffield, of 

 Newport, presented two petitions in Con- 

 gress from the Rhode Island Horticul- 

 tural Society, one in favor of securing 

 the purity of the materials used in com- 

 bating the fungicidal insect foes of 

 fruits, flowers and vegetables, and the 

 other favoring the Lafean apple package 

 bill. 



H. L. DeBlois, 80 Broadway, Newport, 

 has just received a large importation of 

 palms and ferns. 



The annual banquet of the Ehode Is- 

 land Horticultural Society will be held in 

 the parlors of the Mathewson Street 

 Methodist church, this city, on Febru- 

 ary 16.
