PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



On every hand the report is the 

 same— "best ever." This refers to 

 the business on Memorial day. Prices 

 did not advance to such an extent as 

 has been the case some years, and all 

 along the line trade was good. Carna- 

 tions were unseasonably short, but 

 aside from that there was plenty of 

 everything. Southern peonies were a 

 novelty here this year and took well. 



All the growers now have their hands 

 full in outdoor work, while the green- 

 houses are being overhauled in readi- 

 ness for the early benching. Gradua- 

 tions will follow within the next two 

 or three weeks and, with the usual 

 plethora of June weddings, will keep 

 the retailers and decorators busy. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Morton had charge of nine 

 extra men at the greenhouses of C.~'HN^ 

 Hunt during the Memorial day rush. \ 



A. T. Bunyard, of New York city, 

 has opened his branch store on Belle- 

 vue avenue, Newport, for the summer. 



Frank Barker, of Warren, reports 

 that last season was the best he ever 

 had on violets. He will raise a much 

 larger crop the coming season. 



Mr. Willard, of the Taunton Green- 

 houses, of Taunton, Mass., was a recent 

 visitor. W. H. M.
