The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Apbil 15, 1909. 



PROVIDENCE, R. L 



The Market* 



Easter weather conditions were good, 

 except for a strong wind. People were 

 desirous of buying, there was plenty of 

 stock of all kinds, but — and here lies 

 the story— while the regular florists were 

 well stocked at a trifle under usual 

 Easter prices, the department stores 

 bought large stocks of potted plants — 

 good, bad and indifferent — and sold at 

 considerable reductions. 'The masses, 

 looking only at the price and not at the 

 goods, rushed to the department stores. 



Notwithstanding the department stores, 

 however, the florists did a good business, 

 although not reaping the harvest that was 

 justly theirs and which many had been 

 counting on. Contrary to the expecta- 

 tions of ten days before, the supply of 

 lilies was equal to the demand. The re- 

 quirements of the 200-odd churches in 

 this city were unusually large, but were 

 readily met and, taken all in all, Easter 

 compared favorably with previous ones. 



Variou* Note*. 



John J. Butler and Agnes T. Moore, 

 of Newport, copartners under the firm 

 title of M, Butler & Son, have been or- 

 dered by Judge Arthur L. Brown of the 

 United States District Court to show 

 cause why as a firm they should not be 

 adjudged bankrupt. The petitioning 

 creditors are "William Scott, $841 ; A. & 

 H. G. Hammett, $228; Oscar Schultz. 

 $93; William Scott & Co., $98, and 

 V. A. Vanicek, $129, all of Newport or 

 Middletown. The firm, which is one of 

 the oldest established florists in Newport, 

 had made an assignment for the equal 

 benefit of all creditors, and James Blake, 

 the assignee, has held a sale of the con- 

 tents of all the greenhouses, which con- 

 sisted mostly of palms, ferns and hydran- 

 geas. 



Charles Hunt has commenced an addi- 

 tion to his range on Burnside street, 

 10x50, for a propagating house. 



John Wood had the first arbutus of

 Fleet on Cape Cod. It sold readily.

 corporators. This corporation will en- 

 gage in the business of buying, selling
