KNOBLE BROS., 



RHINEBECK, N. Y. 



The air is full of the odor of the vio- 

 let; one gets a snilf of it long before 

 reaching the source. At the time of the 

 visit of your correspondent, two of the 

 hustling comniissiQii men from New York 

 city were making the rounds, and they 

 were not the first. There will be lots of 

 blooms. Every grower, almost without 

 exception, has stock in fine shape. The 

 first 1,000 blooms were shipped to the big 

 city a few days ago, just to remind buy- 

 ers, as it were, that the main body of this 

 modest little flower would soon be in- 

 vading the stores. 



There are half a hundred establish- 

 ments that will supply the demand this 

 sesson. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



There was a general expression of 

 satisfaction among the florists here last 

 week concerning the improvement in 

 business. There was no boom or rush, 

 but just a good, liealthy increase. There 

 was a good number of funerals, from 

 which the orders were well distributed, 

 a ad several weddings assisted in helping 

 out the situation. From now on there 

 will be plenty of business. The mil- 

 linery and department store openings 

 are about due and these, with the social 

 functions, will contribute materially. 



All tlie growers report encouraging 

 prospects for the coming season, and 

 s-anc good stock in rosea, carnations, 

 dirysauthemums and violets is looked 

 for. Asters are beginning to show a 

 decline, but, while they have been un- 

 usually popular this fall, the demand is 

 weakening and the appearance of other 

 blooms is welcomed. 



Club Meeting. 



The first meeting of the Florists' and 

 (iardeners' Club of Rhode Island since 

 the summer vacation was held on the 

 evening of September 20, with a good 

 attendance. President Macnair was un- 

 avoidably absent. Secretary William E. 

 <;happell read an interesting and instruc- 

 tive paper on the history of the club, 

 dealing especially with the early days 

 of the organization and its entertain- 

 ment of the convention of the S. A. F. 

 ia the early nineties, with brief char- 

 acter sketches of some of those who 

 were active in the arrangements.

One name was added to the member-
