PROVIDENCE, S. I. 



The Market. 



The demand for cut flowers last week 

 showed an increase over the preceding 

 one. It is interesting to note that so 

 far this season business as a whole has 

 been in excess of the corresponding sea- 

 son of a year ago. Funeral work con- 

 tinues active and well distributed, while 

 social demands add to the general run. 

 Preparations for St. Valentine's day 

 were prominent on all sides and numer- 

 ous special orders for the day were 

 booked early. 



Various Notes. 



Ernest Carl has the sympathy of a 

 large circle of acquaintances in the 

 death of his wife February 4. 



Robert Johnston, with Johnston Bros., 

 who has been on the sick list, is able 

 to be about again. 



The new rose, Prince E. C. d'Aren- 

 berg, which S. J. Renter & Son, of 

 Westerly, are introducing, is attracting 

 much attention and florists from all 

 parts of New England and the middle 

 states are visiting the greenhouses. 



Cornelius C. Sullivan, with T. O'Con- 

 nor, had a narrow escape from serious 

 injury February 7. One of the firm's 

 automobiles, in which Mr. Sullivan was 

 riding, collided with another machine. 



The sympathy of the trade is ex- 

 tended to Solon Astle, dahlia grower of 

 Auburn, in the loss of his wife last 

 week. 



James Burke, of Warwick, is on duty 

 again after a serious illness. 



Mrs. Timothy L. O 'Connor and daugh- 

 ter left last week for a month's stay 

 in the vicinity of Atlanta, Ga. 



Mrs. Fanny Butcher has sold to Eric 

 A. Bonevier the range of greenhouses, 

 with land and buildings, on Pitman 

 street, which the latter has mortgaged 

 back to Mrs. Butcher for $5,000. 



The Everett Forestry Co., to be 

 located in this city, filed articles of as- 

 sociation February 2 at the oflBce of 

 the secretary of "state. The concern 

 is capitalized at $50,000 and is to en- 

 gage in general forestry, nursery and 

 agricultural work. The incorporators 

 are Charles J. Everett, Hugh F. Cam- 

 eron and Arthur A. Thomas, all of this

BEVERLY, MASS. 



G. W. Glines has great success with 

 Carnation Pink Delight, which is more 

 prolific with him than Gloriosa. White 

 Wonder is his most profitable white. 

 One house, 50x300, was recently plant- 

 ed to carnations. Its record for one 

 year reads thus: 2,000 dozen let- 

 tuce set out in September and cropped 

 in January; followed by 600 bushels of 

 beet greens cleared by March 1; in 

 turn succeeded by a crop of 900 bushels 

 of Cucumber White Spine and 300 

 bushels of beet greens. Mr. Glines has 

 about 100,000 square feet of glass in 

 constant use. His health has not been 

 good for some time, but is now im- 

 proving. 



C. E. Caldwell is one of the largest 

 market gardeners in the vicinity of the 



Wholesale Cot Flower Prices. 



Hub. This year's crop calls for the 

 sowing of a half -ton of beets for greens 

 and the setting out of 5,000 cucumbers 

 of the selected White Spine variety. 

 From seed beds they are potted two in 

 a 5-inch pot and when about a foot 

 high they are planted out, two in a hill. 



The hills are four feet apart for spring 

 and three feet apart for fall cropping. 

 A. A. Pembroke tried the plan of re- 

 planting a house, 60x450, to carnations 

 in the same soil, adding some sheep 

 manure and removing the top. Judging 

 by the heavy crop, it is a success and 

 means a considerable saving in soil 

 and labor. A part of this house is 

 covered in with cheesecloth for the pur- 

 pose of protection from drafts and 

 makes an ideal propagating place. It 

 does away with a special house and the 

 cuttings make exceptionally fine 

 growth. Pink Delight, considered one 

 of the most difficult to root, has a loss 

 of ten per cent. White Wonder is an- 

 other highly profitable variety. Sales 

 slips show these two kinds have not 

 sold for less than 5 cents this season. 

 Rosette, Benora and Commodore com- 

 plete the list of leaders. Lady North- 

 cliffe is an excellent variety, both in 

 size and color, and will be grown more 

 extensively next season. A bed of 

 Calendula Orange King is a good in- 

 vestment. M.

The Market. 



The mild weather, which has pre- 

 vailed with hardly a break for three 

 weeks, has brought flowers along with 

 a rush and, with the single exception of 

 American Beauty roses, prices have 

 dwindled under heavy receipts and in-
