our little annual show until the latter 

 part of the month. After consideration, 

 the date -was set for the evening of No- 

 vember 19. The show will be held in the 

 Michigan Cut Flower Exchange. 



The kind invitation of J. E. Smith, of 

 Wyandotte, to be his guests was accepted 

 and the date set for Monday evening, 

 November 8. All the members of the 

 club are invited. The party will leave 

 the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange about 

 6:30 p. m. Mr. Smith has a whitefish 

 supper in store for his comp^pjvj and 

 those few who paid him a visit last year 

 know what that means. 



Mr. Plumb suggested that the recent 

 articles under heading of "The Em- 

 ployer and the Employee," which ap- 

 peared in the Eeview, be read at the 

 next meeting and then discussed. 



The meeting was adjourned early and 

 the members left in the hands of the en- 

 tertainment committee, who provided a 

 good time for all. 



Messrs. Karins, of Dreer's, and Green, 

 of Bayersdorf er 's, were present at the 

 meeting. 



Various Notes. 



One of the busiest men in the party of 

 Detroit florists at Adrian last Saturday 

 was Ferdinand Kolbe. Note book in 

 hand, Mr. Kolbe was making notes of 

 some good things to grow another year. 



The artistic abilities of E. A. Fetters 

 are known, not only in Detroit but in 

 other cities as well. Eecently Mr. Fet- 

 ters was called upon to make up a num- 

 ber of baskets of Killarney for the table 

 decorations of a swell affair in Fremont. 



Many employers made a wise move last 

 Saturday in taking their foremen or 



other head men along to Adrian. This is 

 encouraging to these men, besides giving 

 them a chance to broaden their knowl- 

 edge. 



C. H. Maynard is thinking of attend- 

 ing the coming show at St. Louis. 



B. Schroeter is showing many of 

 Aloys Frey's novelties in pompons and 

 anemone mums, and finds a ready sale 

 for them. H. S. 



PROVIDENCE, R. L 



The Market 



Business has shown a decided improve- 

 ment in this city, and everybody expe- 

 rienced a fair increase during the last 

 week. There is a fair demand for cut 

 flowers. Funeral work is brisk and calls 

 for social purposes are rapidly develop- 

 ing into a healthy and acknowledged fea- 

 ture of the situation. Carnations at 

 wholesale rule at 1% cents to 2 cents; 

 violets, 50 cents per hundred; roses, $2 

 per hundred and up, and mums at from 

 $1.50 to $4. The demand for the latter 

 is more active than the local supply can 

 compete with, and many of the mums 

 brought in by the local growers are only 

 about half ripe. As the season advances, 

 however, the supply will keep pace with 

 the call and this defect will be obviated. 



Various Notes. 



Frank L. Budlong, with J. A. Budlong 

 & Sons Co., Auburn, declined to run for 

 renomination as a member of the 

 Cranston town council this year. 



Richard H. Dunbar, of Bristol, reports 

 that he has located a quantity of window 

 glass and frames which were stolen from 



his greenhouses on Wood street some 

 time ago. He made an investigation of 

 a place some distance from his houses, 

 and discovered the missing glass secreted 

 at the bottom of an old cistern. 



Howard Vose, of Vose & Son, Main 

 street, Woonsocket, was passing round 

 cigars last week. It's a girl, and mother 

 and child are reported as doing well. 



William Hay had a number of large 

 pieces, including a $125 gates ajar, Octo- 

 ber 26, for the funeral of Aaron S. 

 Haven, town auditor of Cranston. 



F. Macrae & Sons are cutting some fine 

 Harrisii. Last week they shipped 1,000 

 to Philadelphia and secured a good figure. 



James Hacking has been reelected su- 

 perintendent of the Moshassuck cemetery, 

 at Central Falls. 



Johnston Bros, had several fine piecs 

 for the funeral of Mrs. William Halk- 

 yard, October 25.

 house, 16x50, in addition to its range vf 

 eight houses. 



J. G. Jensen, of the Park Greenhous- :?. 

 has commenced cutting some fine camr. 

 tions from his new houses. He has sp- 

 eral houses of fine mums coming on rap- 

 idly.
