PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Business has dropped off noticeably 

 luring the last week, Ash Wednesday 

 "larking a perceptible decline, and it is 

 '■\ident that from now on, for a time at 

 Joast, the lenten season is going to make 

 itself felt in the flower trade. There 

 ^re, however, a number of large social 

 -'unctions in sight following Easter. 



While the retailers are now having a 



•■spite from the drive and hustle that 



liey have been put to since Christmas, 



the growers are now bending their ef- 



'orts for Eastertide and some good 



showings are promised. There is an 



ample supply of all kinds of regular 

 stock and all in good quality. There is a 

 slight easing off in prices on a majority 

 of the supply. 



Newport Horticttltural Society. 



The plan of having several papers by 

 as many different members proved a 

 decided success at the meeting of the 

 Newport Horticultural Society, February 

 8. It drew out one of the largest crowds 

 seen at a regular meeting for a long 

 time and furnished a program that was 

 most interesting and instructive. An at- 

 tempt will be made to arrange similar 

 discussions for every meeting. The even- 

 ing topic was "Horticultural Exhibi- 

 tions" and five papers had been written 

 on as many phases of the subject. 



President James Robertson opened 

 the discussion by a paper on "Utility 

 and Missions," in which he gave a thor- 

 ough discussion of the matter and 

 pointed out the beneficial results that 

 follow a well put up and meritorious ex- 

 hibition, to all concerned, grower, re- 

 tailer and the public. John P. Ham- 



mond was the second speaker, his paper 

 being entitled "Preparing for the Ex- 

 hibition." He pointed out the great 

 care and attention necessary in connec- 

 tion with the initial steps for the exhibi- 

 tion and referred to some of the ridicu- 

 lous results that ofttimes attend these 

 shows. "Staging and Arranging of Ex- 

 hibits" was the subject of Bruce Butter- 

 ton's paper and this was rich in sugges- 

 tions as to changes and additions that 

 might be made to the advantage of the 

 exhibitions, and it is probable that sev- 

 eral of them will be adopted by the so- 

 ciety in its next appearance. "Judg- 

 ing ' ' was the title of a paper read by 

 Richard Gardiner and his long exper- 

 ience thoroughly qualified him for his 

 task. He drew attention to the import- 

 ance attached to the careful, conscien- 

 tious and intelligent judging of the ex- 

 hibits, stating that the value of the 

 awards was not so much in the possible 

 prize given by the society for the exhibi- 

 tion as in the relative merit of standing 

 that was attained. John Forbes 's paper on 

 "How to Secure the Attendance of the
