 after hearing so many excellent reports 

 from the fortunate ones who were

PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



There was a good business flurry last 

 week, caused by several special events 

 and large funerals. These, with regu- 

 lar orders and normal demand, com- 

 bined to make an unusually good week 

 for this season. Stock of all kinds is 

 good, and the supply equals the demand. 

 Prices range about at the regular stand- 

 ard for the summer months.

The Market. 



While there was no improvement in 

 trade during the last week, things are 

 shaping themsejves for a hustling year.

 the various florists and a number of 

 advance orders are already on their

 number of years, has handed in his 

 resignation and will open a store at 

 130 South Highland avenue. The style 

 of the firm will be G. P. Weaklen 

 & Co. 



The Zieger Co. will open a new store 

 in the Rittenhouse, on North Highland 

 avenue. There is also a report that 

 still another store will open in the 

 east end district. 



John Bader has just received a large 

 consignment of bulbs and reports that 

 Romans are the finest that have been 

 seen for several years. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. was 

 fortunate in planting many more car- 

 nations than usual, and, unlike some 

 other carnation crops in this section, 

 they were not affected by the dry 

 weather. Hoo-Hoo.
