PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



There was a fairly good demand for 

 cut flowers last week, with the supply 

 fully equal to it. Funeral work was 

 good, using up large quantities of 

 flowers. Ten weeks' stocks are begin- 

 ning to put in an appearance, for which 

 there is a growing demand, while sweet 

 peas are also coming in abundance. Car- 

 nations retail for from 35 cents to 75 

 cents per dozen and roses from $1.50 to 

 $4. Violets and bulbous stock are about 

 at an end, while bedding stock is coming 

 in in quantity.

What W. J. Palmer & Son, lancaster and 

 Buffalo, New York, have to say of 



"DfTROIT" AUTOMATIC RETURN 

 STEAM TRAPS 



"We have been using two of your 'Detroit' 

 Traps the past winter on a Gravity System 

 and find they keep the pipe clear of conden- 

 sation, therefore making the return do as 

 much as the flow. We are able to heat with 

 less number of pipe than formerly and keep 

 the liouses far more even in temperature." 



"Detroit" Traps will do the same for you.
