PEOVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



Business was a trifle slow last week, 

 but everybody is preparing for. the 

 Easter rush. There has been a general 

 overhauling and brightening up of the 

 retail shops and among the growers 

 there has been an increasing activity 

 in forcing potted stock. In many in- 

 stances the results of the excessively 

 cold spells in January and February 

 are noticeable ins the limited supply. 



Various Notes. 



The motor truck belonging to Joseph 

 Koppelman, operated by Aaron Cohen, 

 was struck by an electric car March 

 22 and somewhat damaged. Mr. Cohen 

 had a narrow escape. 



John Goodwin, for thirty-one years 

 foreman for the North Burial Ground 

 greenhouses, has retired and has been 

 succeeded by John Simpson, formerly 

 on the estate of Sir Henry Pellatt, 

 Toronto, Can. Mr. Goodwin began 

 work as a florist and gardener with 

 Johnston, on Rochambeau avenue, 

 forty-one years ago. 



Wilbur A. Fiske, of the W. E. Bar- 

 rett Co., who has been at the Rhode 

 Island hospital for several weeks, is 

 slowly improving. 



H. H. Pepper, of the Melrose Rose 

 Gardens, is contemplating a trip to 

 England the latter part of this month 

 to meet his wife, who has been visiting 

 her parents, who are missionaries in 

 India, for the last seven months.

 Greystone Horticultural Society was

 oflScers were elected: President, E. 

 Hodgson; vice-president, S. Wood;
