The Weekly Florists' Review* 



August 17, 1911. 



PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



The summer dullness is upon the city 

 and the florists are suffering the usual 

 dearth of business. A majority of the 

 flower buyers are away at the seashore 

 or the country and, except for the de- 

 mand for funeral work, the retailers 

 might just as well close their places. 

 Many of the growers have done but 

 little, on account of the excessively hot 

 weather, few having yet benched their 

 carnations, believing that they will 

 thrive better in the field than if trans- 

 planted. 



Various Notes. 



Michael J. Leach, of Pawtucket, was 

 a recent visitor in Boston. 



Peter Byrnes, of Wickford, has been 

 especially busy with decorations for 

 functions at Narragansett. 



Frederick Harrington, employed by 

 r the Everett Forestry Co., which is trim- 

 ming the big elm trees in Main street, 

 Manville, fell from one of the trees 

 recently and was bady shaken up. He 

 sprained one of his ankles.

 have returned from a visit with his 

 parents at Webster, N. Y.

 Park Superintendents at Rochester.

The Greystone Horticultural Society 

 will hold its first annual flower show in 

 the social club hall, September 9. 



A meeting of those interested in the 

 formation of a market in this city js 

 to be held in a few days, for the pur- 

 pose of organizing and getting every- 

 thing in readiness for the opening of 

 the fall season. 



Frederick B. Luther, of Oxford street, 

 has the sympathy of a large circle 

 of acquaintances in the death of his 

 mother last week. 



Max Viller, with Johnston Bros., is 

 spending all of his spare time this sum- 

 mer at a camp at Oakland Beach. 



A. Battinille has opened a retail 

 flower store at 192 Atwell's avenue. 



E. A. Johnston, who opened a retail 

 store at Narragansett Pier for the sea- 

 son, has closed it again. 



J. Frank Parker and T. S. Ware, of 

 the Rhode Island Nursery Co., have 

 been working in Westerly and vicinity 

 for several days on outdoor work. 



William H. Tarbox, of Pawtuxet val- 

 ley, reports having had much difficulty 

 in saving his dahlia and aster crops 

 this season on account of the drought. 



W. H. M. 



Clyde, O.— Le Roy N. Brown & Son 

 have ordered material for a new house, 

 20x102 feet, which they hope to have

''HANILTON-NADE'' 

 GREENHOUSE HOSE 



What our mark on hose means 



"Hamilton-Made" means superior quality in general and on© 

 thing in particular. The "one thing in particular" is this: 



On every length of "Hamilton-Made" hose you will notice a 

 mark not found on any other hose — "Guaranteed 750 pounds 

 pressure," or 700 or 500, etc., according to the grade. On our 

 "Hamilton" brand every length has been tested under pressure 

 of 750 pounds to the square inch. Any piece showing defect is 

 rejected. 750 pounds is five times the usual pressure in 

 steam boilers* Think of it ! Do you wonder that this hose 

 is strong; that it is stiff and will not kink ? 



"Hamilton" brand, our highest grade hose, selling at 25 cents 

 a foot, will last three to five years under ordinary greenhouse use; 

 it will stand three or four times as much wear as common hose. 



As often happens, the high grade is the cheapest. 



Under the same brands and of the same excellent qualities, we make 

 Hose for Suction, for Steam Service and for SprayluK. 



All made especially for the service to be done and satisfaction guar- 

 anteed.
