be subjected to any great hardship. This 

 letter further stated that one advantage 

 of getting white pine from abroad is 

 that the foreign trees are cheaper than 

 the domestic. 



T. B. Symons, of Maryland, chairman 

 of the joint committee of entomologists 

 and horticultural inspectors, said that 

 be approved the quarantine.

The Market. 



Business shows a slight betterment 

 since last week, the last few days bring- 

 ing the total for the period considerably 

 above that for several weeks previously. 

 This is the general report throughout 

 this section. The growers are busily en- 

 gaged in completing their benching, and 

 in nearly every instance their stock is 

 looking good. The early cuts of chrys- 

 anthemums are coming in and the first 

 violets made their appearance Septem- 

 ber 19. These are of good color, but 

 short of stem and rather soft. They 

 will come better in a short time, how- 

 ever. Carnations and roses are in good 

 quantity and promise well. 



Various Notes. 



Fifteen new names were added to the 

 membership list of the Bhode Island 

 Horticultural Society, including several 

 of the commercial florists, at the month- 

 ly meeting held September 18. John 

 K. M. L. Farquhar, of Boston, addressed 

 the meeting on "Italian Gardens," 

 illustrated by stereopticon slides. 



The first meeting after the summer 

 vacation of the Florists' and Garden- 

 ers ' Club of Bhode Island was held Sep- 

 tember 23. The expense of delivery of 

 trade products by automobile, as com- 

 pared with horse-drawn vehicles, was a 

 subject of especial interest. Several 

 dealers have purchased delivery mo- 

 tors, and claim that they are preferable 

 at the increased cost. 



Alexander T. Fraser, of Newport, will 

 be one of the delegates to the annual 

 convention of the National Association 

 of Gardeners, to be held at Newark, 

 N. J., November 19. 



The autumn exhibition of the New- 

 port Horticultural Society was held in 

 that city September 14 to 16. The show 

 was one of the best held by the society 

 in several years. The competition was 

 keen in several of the classes, and the 

 judges had their work cut out for them. 



Mr. and Mrs. Timothy L. O'Connor 

 returned September 23 from Narragan- 

 sett Pier, where they spent the summer. 



Fred C. Covill, manager of the flower 

 department of Shepard Co., was in New 

 York and Philadelphia last week pur- 

 chasing ferns, palms, etc. On his return 

 he resigned his position, to succeed L. 

 Engel in charge of the flower depart- 

 ment of L. Dimond & Sons, Inc. Mr. 

 Engel is to devote his entire time to the 

 Rosery. 



E. Carl had a large wedding decora- 

 tion last week. 



John W. Gibson, of Newport, is still 

 confined to his house by illness. 



Robert Craig, of Philadelphia, was a 

 visitor in this city last week. 



There was a large display of flowers 

 at the funeral of former Chief of Police 

 Patrick Egan, of this city, September 

 21. The work was well distributed 

 among the florists. W. H. M. 



Cambridge, Mass. — John Delay has
