sitely shaded as to indicate another step 

 in advance in the evolution of the canna. 

 The starting of the canna seed was in 

 progress and was entrusted by Mr. Wint- 

 zer to his son for the first time — an honor 

 better understood when you know that Mr. 

 Wintzer has always done this himself. 

 These pedigreed seeds are soaked in 

 water after chipping the shell, and then 

 sown in the propagating bed vacated by 

 the roses. Only the best of these seeds 

 are sown, the crosses being made for 

 definite purposes, to secure certain colors 

 or shades of color of certain type. Mr. 

 Wintzer is doing a splendid work for the 

 canna, a work which is appreciated 

 wherever known. Phil. 



PROVIDENCE. 



The Market 



Business continues good — no boom, but 

 just straight, steady business. Outdoor 

 work is well started and all the growers 

 are commencing their annual clean-up 

 and preparing for the propagations for 

 the fall and winter. There is consider- 

 able talk of new glass, but the price of 

 the lights is causing several would-be 

 builders to hold off. 



The talk of a flower market still holds 

 attention, but nothing definite has yet 

 occurred. There is a good supply of 

 everything and prices rule moderate. 



Bedding stock is coming in in large 

 quantities and, notwithstanding the cuts 

 by the department stores, the sales of 

 the regular dealers are reported as satis- 

 factory. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island 

 was held Monday evening, April 18, at 

 its rooms, 98 Westminster street, this 

 city. James King was elected to mem- 

 bership and the business session was 

 brief. At its conclusion President Rob- 

 ert Johnston extended an invitation to 

 the members to adjourn with him to his 

 home, 21 Meader street. 



The party was received by Mrs. John- 

 ston, assisted by Mrs. William H. Bar- 

 rows and Mrs. Ray Davis, and later a 

 supper was served, the table and house 

 decorations being Killarney roses. The 

 affair was entirely informal and much 

 enjoyed. Those present included William 

 E. Chappell, William Appleton, Eugene 

 Appleton, Eugene MeCarron, James 

 Hockey, H. R. Bellows, Clarence G. Hart- 

 stra, James P. Dillon, Owen McManus, 

 H. Howard Pepper, Alexander Macrae, 

 Michael Sweeney, William H. Barrows 

 and Sheldon Davis. 



Various Notes. 



Some of the finest pansies seen in the 

 local market this spring are being 

 brought in by Noonan Bros. 



Johnston Bros, had three decorations 

 at Brown University last week, at one 

 of which they used 5,000 Winsor car- 

 nations.

 Rose Gardens, has been elected vice-pres-
