PBOVIDENCE. 



Tlie Market. 



There was a islight betterment in busi- 

 ness last week, as the returning of many 

 families from the seashore or the coun- 

 try caused an increase in the demand 

 for cut flowers for the house. A de- 

 cided fall in temperature somewhat 

 spoiled the outdoor flowers and the de- 

 ficiencies had to be made up from the 

 house stocks. Asters have been espe- 

 cially good in quantity and quality this 

 season and thousands have been sold 

 readily. Boses have held good all sum- 

 mer and gladioli have surpassed all pre- 

 vious years. 



Various Notes. 



~ A light frost, the first of the season, 

 was reported from the Oaklawn section 

 on the morning of September 9. 



The first annual show under the aus- 

 pices of the Esmond Horticultural So- 

 ciety was held last week and proved

 ers, lA/ft^ and vegetables by -the Gr^-
