Eose Society is a deserved compliment. 

 Like Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Farenvrald will 

 not be sidetracked. 



Smith, Lineaweaver & Co. report an- 

 thracite collieries running full time, 

 with a probabilit}' that output will be 

 restricted in June. Bituminous condi- 

 tions are normal, excepting in West- 

 moreland. 



Walter N. Yates will sail for Europe 

 in July, combining business and pleas- 

 ure. 



DeForest Ludwig, son of E. C. Lud- 

 wig, Allegheny, Pa., cheered the 

 Quakers with his presence a few days 



ago. 



W. E. McKissick reports the supply 

 of cornflower increasing. 



Walter P. Stokes has been sending 

 some magnificent giganteum lilies from 

 his Floracroft Nurseries. 



The display of window-boxes is par- 

 ticularly fine this season. Much choice 

 material is used. Phil. 



PEOVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Business has held up well during the 

 last week. There has been considerable 

 activity in connection with funeral 

 work, receptions, school exhibitions, a 

 few weddings and other social func- 

 tions, while in plants there has been a 

 considerable demand. Small bedding 

 plants are especially called for, and 

 potted stock for Memorial day is 

 handled almost as fast as it is brought 

 in. There has been an average supply 

 of everything except carnations, these 

 being off crop. Prices have ranged 

 about normal, but for next week there 

 will be a stiffening of from thirty-three 

 to fifty per cent.

tee was appointed to make the neces- 

 sary arrangements. 



The entertainment committee had no 

 regular program for the evening, so a 

 general discussion followed, concerning 

 spring work and landscape gardening. 

 The extermination of insect pests on 

 trees and shrubs was also discussed at 

 length. At the close of the business 

 the members were served with fruit 

 through the courtesy of the former 

 president, James Hockey. 



Various Notes. 



Joseph Kopelman is cutting fine 

 sweet peas from his farm at Oaklawn, 

 in all the light colors. He is cutting 

 several thousand daily and expects to 

 have about 50,000 for Memorial day.

 landscape work. They report a big in- 

 crease in this line of work this year.

 has started a campaign to plant young 

 trees about all the public school build- 

 ings and other barren places through- 

 out the city, and business firms have

 member of the Bulletin's committee in 

 charge of this work.
