** The Weekly Florists' Review*

PROVIDENCE. 



The Market 



Business remains good, funeral orders 

 being especially numerous and princi- 

 pally for large designs. A number of 

 weddings and receptions, as well as danc- 

 ing parties, combined to make last week 

 a satisfactory one to both growers and 

 retailers. There was an abundance of 

 everything and prices ruled well. Car- 

 nations were a trifle short, being off crop 

 the latter part of the week, and held 

 back by the unfavorable weather condi- 

 tions. Saturday, the increased demand 

 for Mothers' day made whites especially 

 short; the price Saturday stiffened from 

 $2 per hundred to $5 and $6, and few 

 were available at that. 



Various Notes. 



Johnston Bros, had a pretty decora- 

 tion for one of the large college frater- 

 nities, May 7. 



Lawrence Hay, of East Providence, is 

 bringing in some fine hybrid roses in 

 pots. He has considerable outdoor work 

 on hand, his care of the grounds of the 

 Agawam Hunt Club taking much atten- 

 tion. , He has recently purchased a horse 

 sod cutter^ which is proving highly sat- 

 isfactory.

"DETROir' AUTOMATIC RETURN 

 STEAM TRAPS 



"We have been using two of your 'Detroit' 

 Traps the past winter on a Gravity System 

 and flud 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 houses far more even in temperature." 



"Detroit" Traps will do the same for you.

 its work without trouble and annoy- 

 ance, saving its cost by the economy 

 in coal bills.
