Trade Conditions. 



The market was quiet last week, the 

 only activity being on funeral work, 

 which was especially plentiful, and a great 

 many large designs were worked up by 

 the leading retailers. Carnations and 

 roses are in fair supply, but are cleaned 

 up close every day. Whites were particu- 

 larly short the early part of the week, on 

 account of the exceptional demand for 

 green carnations. So great was the call 

 for whites for dyeing purposes that hun- 

 dreds of Enchantress were used, with sat- 

 isfactory results. Violets are plentiful, 

 excellent and in good demand. There will 

 be a fine lot of azaleas here for Easter 

 and other stock looks promising. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of 

 Rhode Island held its regular monthly 

 meeting March 15, with a good attend- 

 ance. It was voted to ask why the Rhode 

 Island College of Agriculture at Kingston 

 is selling the product of the greenhouses 

 in this city notwithstanding Prof. "Wheel- 

 er 's assurances that such would not be 

 the case. 



When the attention of President Ed- 

 wards of the College was called to this

matter the day following the club 's meet- 

 ing, he stated that he was unaware of any 

 Buch promise on Prof. Wheeler 's part and 

 that the latter knew nothing concerning 

 the sale of the product, as it was ar- 

 ranged entirely by other parties. The 

 sales were made, not with any intention 

 of competition, but merely for educational 

 purposes in instructing the students in 

 the entire methods in raising, cutting and 

 selling the product. President Edwards 

 at once directed the cessation of the sale 

 of the carnations. 



Various Notes. 



The monthly meeting of the Rhode 

 Island Horticultural Society was com- 

 bined with a three nights ' evening school

 with the Rhode Island Agricultural Col- 

 lege and the State Board of Agriculture. 

 The lectures were attended by an average 

 of nearly 400 persons. J. K. M. L. Far- 

 quahar, of Boston, was the lecturer on 

 landscape gardening. 



Louis Renter, of Westerly, was in New 

 York last week on business. 



James A. Budlong 2nd has just pur-
