PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



The return of residents from the 

 country and summer places, with the 

 improvement in the supply of cut flow- 

 ers, has caused a slight improvement 

 in the demand, but it is not up to what 

 the standard was a year ago. On the 

 other hand, however, the supply of 

 flowers is not up to that standard. There 

 is a great scarcity of good carnations; 

 only a few mums have yet put in an 

 appearance and asters are practically 

 all gone. Funeral work keeps up well 

 and decorations for the openings of 

 dry goods stores and similar places help 

 out. 



Various Notes, 



The new wholesale market is now a 

 positive fact. It was incorporated last 

 week at the office of the Secretary of 

 State, under the laws of Rhode Island, 

 as the Providence Wholesale Flower 

 Market, with Alexander Macrae, John 

 A. Macrae and Joseph Kopelman as in- 

 corporators. The company is author- 

 ized to engage in the general wholesale 

 and retail flower trade, with a capital 

 stock of $.5,000, divided into shares of 

 $25 each, with rooms at 43 Washington 

 street, which will be opened October 

 15. 



Albert Holscher is cutting some fine 

 chrysanthemums and violets, which find 

 ready sale. 



The Westminster Greenhouses are 

 making extensive improvements in the 

 front of the range on Westminster 

 street. They are also building a cold 

 cellar for bulbs. 



Several of the larger gro^'ers in this 

 section have been receiving their ship- 

 ments of bulbs from across the water 

 during the last week, and getting them 

 under cover. 



The Rhode Island State College has 

 opened its nineteenth year with a large 

 influx of new students. F. J. Godin as- 

 sumes the duties of Emil A. Mallette 

 as caretaker of the college greenhouses 

 and instructor in horticulture. 



A fire which destroyed the two iipper 

 stories of the Smith block, on Broad- 

 way, Newport, a few (Jays ago, caused
