who has a fine lot of lettuce and sweet 

 peas. 



Thence to John Kaminski, who was 

 extremely busy at the time with fu- 

 neral Avork, but managed to find time 

 to show them his fine line of general 

 stock. 



Various Notes. 



Krueger Bros, are now cutting a 

 fine lot of lilies and also some extra 

 fine White Killarney. 



Spanner's had a novel Hallowe'en 

 display. In one window there was a 

 table decoration of a cabbage, deco- 

 rated with autumn leaves and gaillar- 

 dias, and in the other window a large 

 pumpkin, used as a jardiniere and 

 filled with big yellow mums. 



Mr. Hall, of Eeed & Keller, New 

 York, called here last week with his 

 line of florists' supplies. S. Seligman,

Caldwell & Jesperson said October 30: 

 ' * We are now cutting some fine Paper 

 White narcissi; a sash house 10x150 

 feet is planted with them. When they 

 are done flowering the house will be 

 filled with the single daffodil. Golden 

 Spur, which flower we have the reputa- 

 tion to grow to perfection; they real- 

 ized some fancy prices last season. The 

 carnations, all of the Enchantress type 

 and Beacon for red, are in tip-top shape. 

 The other stock is also in fine condi- 

 tion. Our cut i» shipped to P. J. Smith, 

 New York. The new store recently com- 

 pleted is a great success. It is of 

 stucco construction, 25x50 feet, with a 

 conservatorv of the same dimensions." 



PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



The cooler weather last week caused a 

 slight increase in the demand for chrys- 

 anthemums and it was also reflected in 

 the better condition of the blooms that 

 were brought in during the latter part 

 of the week. Whites are plentiful, but 

 good yellows and pinks are not so plen- 

 tiful. A few days, however, will adjust 

 matters, as several of the larger grow- 

 ers are now bringing in their first cut- 

 tings. Prices range normal and there 

 is a growing demand for small pots of 

 mums. 



Various Notes. 



John Johnston, of Johnston Bros., 

 was on the sick list part of last week. 



Willis S. Pino has just registered a 

 Cadillac thirty-two horse-power run- 

 about automobile Avith the State Board

 rations at the Narragansett hotel on
