The Weekly Florists' Review. 



August 4, lOlo. 



a patr6E[ a question concerning the true 

 worth of our product? Simply because 

 he is of sane piind and recognizes that 

 in no other fine of business does this 

 insane practice hold good. He knows 

 he could not afford to ' sell a horse or 

 cow for its true worth and guarantee 

 said animal to live, or, in case of death, 

 replace with one just as good at one- 

 half the original price. The customer 

 thinks, and being stimulated to judge 

 us by this policy, arrives at the conclu- 

 sion that we charged him too much in 

 the first place, or that there is a "nig- 

 ger in the wood-pile." Either sugges- 

 tion tends to destroy confidence, the 

 basis of satisfactory trade relations 

 between the buyer and seller. 



We, and not the customer, are re- 

 sponsible for the way he feels toward 

 our business, for we have furnished 

 fuel to feed his fire of prejudice, fur- 

 nished this fuel without money and 

 without price, and some of us wonder 

 why there is this want of confidence. If 

 we had spent a few moments consider- 

 ing the result of this practice, surely 

 our conclusions would not have been 

 different from the customer's.

PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



And now it's asters! They are com- 

 ing in plentifully and the demand is 

 satisfactory. Sweet peas are still popu- 

 lar, but the fancy ones are passing for 

 the season. Carnations are off crop, but 

 roses are in good form. There was an 

 acceleration of business on Saturday, 

 July 30, from the conducting of Carna- 

 tion day for the benefit of Emily S. 

 Chase Memorial Home at Oakland 

 Beach, where children from this city 

 are given fresh-air vacations during the 

 summer. 



Various Notes. 



John Hays, of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., 

 of Philadelphia, is with his family at 

 Newport for the summer season. 



Nathan D. Pierce, of the Norwood 

 Greenhouses, has installed a new gaso- 

 line pump at his range, upon which he 

 will depend for his water supply. The 

 new apparatus is a powerful one and 

 draws the water out of an artesian well 

 ninety feet deep, carries it along the 

 service for a distance of 300 feet and 

 then lifts it up into a tank a distance 

 of thirty-three feet. The capacity of 

 the pump is fourteen gallons per min- 

 ute. The installing of the new pump 

 does away with the old windmill, which 

 has been a familiar sight in that sec- 

 tion for the last quarter of a century. 



H. Howard Pepper, proprietor of the 

 Melrose Rose Gardens, of this city, has- 

 been promoted from assistant secretary 

 to assistant treasurer of the Industrial 

 Trust Co. 



J. A. Budlong & Son Co. is throwing 

 out the carnations and replacing them 

 with violets at the range at Auburn. 



Charles Hunt is busy putting in new 

 glass to replace that broken in his 

 Burnside street houses in the heavy hail 

 storm of several weeks ago. 



W. H. Warburton, of Fall Eiver, was 

 in the city a few days ago purchasing 

 supplies, in the absence of his father, 

 C. Warburton, who has gone abroad. 



John C. Caswell, with the W. E. Bar- 

 rett "Co., is on vacation for two weeks. 



Johnston Bros, had several large 

 pieces for the funeral of Rev. Henry
