The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Junk 9, 191o. 



PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



The florists of this vicinity are ex- 

 periencing the usual lull that invaria- 

 bly follows the Memorial day rush. The 

 growers welcome the respite, as it gives 

 them the desired opportunity of doing 

 necessary work about their houses ana 

 preparing for propagation for rebench- 

 ing in the fall. Funerals, June wed- 

 dings and receptions have afforded an 

 ample medium for the moving of ail 

 the stock that has come in, and from 

 now until the end of the month recitals, 

 school graduations and similar functions 

 will keep stock from any heavy ac- 

 cumulations. Prices are back to normal 

 and everything is settling down for the 

 summer lethargy, except for the grow- 

 ers. 



Various Notes. 



Joseph Leikens has opened his store 

 on Bellevue avenue, Newport, for the 

 season. 



It has leaked out that John Burke, 

 who has been with William Hay, the 

 rose grower, for a number of years, is 

 the jturchaser of the latter 's range of 

 greenhouses on Dyer avenue, Arlington. 

 The sale was made several months ago 

 through a broker, the purchaser to take 

 possession July 1. 



John M. Greene, 187 Harrison street, 

 has given up the branch store which he 

 recently opened at 218 Cranston street. 



Johnston Bros., Dorrance street, have 

 been awarded a commission to grow 

 100 pots of corn for the trades' proces 

 sion July 4 in this city. 



The Evening Bulletin's tree cani- 

 jiaign, which is being conducted by a 

 committee, of which City Forester 

 Alexander Johnson, of George Johnson 

 & Son, is a member, has reached nearly 

 2,000. The paper announces that there 

 are seventy streets in the city without 

 a tree of any kind thereon, and it de- 

 sires to secure 10,000 trees before the 

 close of the campaign. 



Ralph Armstrong, manager for Wad- 

 ley & Smythe, has been in Newport the 

 last week, arranging for the season's 

 opening. 



Timothy O'Connor had an order last 

 week of 10,000 lilies of the valley for 

 one of the wedding receptions on the 

 east side. 



H. J. Johnson, 1860 Broad street, is 

 considering making additions to his 

 range this season. 



Charles H. Hunt had several large 

 pieces for the funeral of Ex-council 

 man James K. Trask. Mr. Hunt's busi- 

 ness for Memorial day exceeded any 

 he has previously enjoyed. He had six 

 extra helpers. 



Vose & Son, 241 Main street, Woon- 

 socket, have 40,000 aster plants of 

 choice strains. 



George C. Kelly has the contract to 

 cut the grass at Hope Reservoir during 

 this summer. 



H. H. Pepper is setting out several 

 thousand rose bushes of the tea varie- 

 ties on his new show lot, corner of 

 Elmwood boulevard and Warren street. 



George Whitford, of Phenix, sold a 

 large number of bronze galax wreaths 

 for Memorial day, as well as an un- 

 usually large assortment of cut flowers 

 and potted plants. 



Walter Sword, of Valley Falls, .has 

 taken charge of the grounds at the city 

 hall in Central Falls, and is busily en- 

 gaged in setting out flowering plants.
