SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Business seems to remain about the 

 same; bulbous stock is nearly gone, car- 

 nations are scarce, while roses and snap- 

 dragons are quite plentiful. Sales are 

 held every Saturday on roses, at 50 

 cents per dozen. Pansy plants retail 

 at 35 cents per dozen and sell readily. 



The planting season is backward this 

 spring, on account of the cold weather. 

 Last Aveek the ground was frozen quite 

 hard on two mornings. The weather has 

 been cloudy and rainy; nevertheless, 

 some of the growers have put their car- 

 nations in the field. 



Various Notes. 



N. F. Higgins has sold his store at 

 150 State street to Sidney A. Saunders. 

 Mr. Higgins will remain as manager and 

 his greenhouses will continue to supply 

 the store. F. J. C. 



PAWTUCKET, R. I. 



The Market. 



After the rush of Easter business, 

 local florists are preparing for Memorial 

 day. The backward spring has had the 

 effect of keeping most of the outdoor 

 plants from blooming. It also has had 

 the effect of keeping the landscape gar- 

 deners out of work, but the weather 

 seems to be changing for the better. 

 Pansies are plentiful, but they are small 

 in size. 



Cut flowers are retailing in the de- 

 partment stores at an exceptionally low 

 price. Ked roses are selling at from 

 2 to 3 cents each; sweet peas at 15 cents 

 per bunch, and violets at 35 cents per 

 large bunch. 



Various Notes. 



J. J. Kelley, of Valley Falls, has a 

 large block of extra fine spiraea. He has 

 booked a large number of orders for 

 outside work. 



W. Sword, of Valley Falls, has com- 

 pleted his campaign against the brown- 

 tail moth. His army of twenty-five 

 boys collected about 80,000 of them and 

 were paid by the town at the rate of 25 

 cents per hundred. 



J, Patterson, of Ashton, has a large 

 bench of excellent Boston ferns. He 

 also has a block of azaleas in full bloom. 



The Shartenberg & Roberson Co., op- 

 erating Pawtucket's largest store, has 

 a large and beautiful display, consist- 

 ing of roses, sweet peas and violets. 



E. D. Tucker, of Central Falls, reports 

 a busy week. 



A. Vose, of Woonsocket, is successful 

 in his new and larger store. 



M. J. Leach & Sons have a beautiful 

 window display of potted plants and 

 cut flowers. They report business as 

 excellent. 



Neil Ward, of Lonsdale, has received 

 settlement on his claim against the ex- 

 press company for plants frozen in 

 transit. 



Elmer King, of Attleboro, reports a 

 busy week in both wholesale and retail 

 departments.

 for park purposes have been recorded

PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



The steadily increasing demand for 

 cut flowers and blooming plants affords 

 much satisfaction to the trade. As to 

 the market, but little is to be said. 

 Business is ahead of the corresponding 

 period last year, and the demand 



continues good. The supply is a trifle 

 ahead of the demand, if anything, and 

 prices are about normal. 



Various Notes. 



William H. O'Connor and two of his 

 assistants were injured in an automobile 

 collision, between this city and Attle- 

 boro, Mass., a few days ago. Mr. O'Con- 

 nor had gone to Attleboro to arrange an 

 extensive decoration for a wedding and 

 was returning, when he was run into by 

 another machine. Mr. O 'Connor and one 

 of the men were badly cut and bruised, 

 while the other had an arm broken. 



The J. A. Budlong Co., of Auburn, is 

 shipping a heavy supply of roses to the 

 Boston market. The best varieties are

 menced repairs to its range of sash 

 houses that were broken by the toppling 

 over of a large tree during the winter.

 over a year, has returned to his old 

 position with Gaedeke & Co. During 

 the winter "Bill," as he is popularly 

 called, acted as chef at one of Nashua's 

 busy restaurants.

 floral tributes.
