PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Business holds up to a remarkable de- 

 gree and is good in practically all lines. 

 Funeral' work is unusually plentiful; a 

 number of prominent people having died 

 recently has accelerated this branch and 

 everyone is getting a good share. Last 

 week witnessed a price war inaugurated 

 between the retail florists and the drug 

 and department stores. The principal 

 cut was on violets, which sold as 

 low as two bunches of twenty-five each 

 for a quarter by the retailers, while the 

 outsiders were advertised at 19 cents a 

 bunch. Fifteen cents was the ruling 

 price by the regular trade. 



Carnations are plentiful and good^ 

 Perfection, Enchantress and Beacon tak 

 ing the lead. There has been a con- 

 stantly increasing demand for Beacon 

 ever since Christmas. Eoses are coming 

 good, and freesias, hyacinths, jonquils, 

 narcissi, tulips and daffodils are in good 

 supply and sell readily. Potted azaleas 

 and bulbous stock are making their ap- 

 pearance, but command but little sale 

 as yet. Orders are placing, however, for 

 the Easter trade. 



QubMeetin£. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Ehode 

 Island was held at the rooms of the asso- 

 ciation, 98 Westminster street, this city, 

 the evening of February 21 and was one 

 of the most interesting sessions in a long 

 time. President Kobirt Johnston made 

 an encouraging address on the prospects 

 of the club and urged the members to 

 make a special canvass so as to have 

 every florist and gardener in the state 

 enrolled under the club 's banner. Charles 

 Hartstra, gardener at the Ehode Island 

 hospital, exhibited one of the finest speci- 

 mens of cyclamen ever seen here and an 

 animated discussion was provoked regard- 

 ing the cultivation, propagation and sell- 

 ing qualities of these plants. 



The club voted to indorse the petition, 

 now pending before the general assembly, 

 to grant the Grand Trunk railway a char- 

 ter to operate in this state. This matter 

 was introduced by .Alex Macrae, who 

 said he thought that the club and its 

 members should go on record as favoring 

 the project, and he pointed out the ad- 

 vantages that the florists, in common 

 with other business interests, would re- 

 ceive from additional railroad facilities 

 for the city and vicinity. President 

 Johnston, Eugene Appleton, William 

 Chappell end several others spoke favor-

Varioui Notes. 



Henry J. Hass, of Nevvport, was called 

 to this city February 23 by the serious 

 illness of his son. The latter is employed 

 in the rose houses at J. A. Budlong & 

 Son Co.'s place in Auburn and during 

 that afternoon was seized by a fainting 

 attack which rendered him unconscious. 

 His father was sent for and it was not 

 until late the following afternoon that 

 he was restored to consciousness. The 

 attack was due to acute indigestion. 



A. L. Eickards, of Bickards Bros., 

 New York city, was present at the meet- 

 ing of the Newport Horticultural Society 

 February 22, and after an instructive 

 and entertaining address, made the so- 

 ciety an offer of a silver cup to be given 

 as a first prize in any suitable class of 

 flowers which the society may arrange 

 for and also offered $10 cash as a second 

 prize in the same class. The offer was 

 received with manifestations of enthu- 

 siasm and was unanimously accepted. 



William Chappell had the table and 

 other decorations for the one hundred 

 and twelfth annual banquet of Mount
