PEOVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



There was a good business last week, 

 though much of it was centered on 

 Thanksgivi-ng. The general demand was 

 brisk, while numerous social functions 

 and weddings, with two large funerals, 

 combined to make an unusually large 

 trade even for the holiday. Chrysan- 

 themums were at their best and com- 

 manded the highest prices of the sea- 

 son, and since Thursday there has been 

 a dearth of yellow and pink mums. 



Violets are uncommonly scarce, owing 

 largely to the extraordinary demand for 

 them November 19 for the big Harvard- 

 Yale game, for which red chrysanthe- 

 mums were also greatly called for. A 

 new crop of galas leaves, of fine qual- 

 ity, is coming in from the south. Blooms 

 of every kind are a trifle scarcer than 

 usual at this season, but the supply ap- 

 pears to equal the demand. 



Prices during the holiday week were 

 but sligiitly advanced over normal. 



Annual Club Meeting. 



The annual meeting of the Florists' 

 and Gardeners' Club of Ehode Island 

 was held November 21, in the rooms of 

 the association, 96 Westminster street, 

 and was well attended. Plans for the 

 coming year were discussed and a com- 

 mittee was appointed to consider the 

 advisability of holding a banquet in 

 the near future. In the absence of 

 President Robert Johnston, the vice- 

 president, Eugene Appleton, presided. 

 The reports of the several officers and 

 committees showed that the club was in

Newport Horticultural Society. 



The Newport Horticultural Society, 



carrying out its policy of having papers 

 presented at its regular meetings on 

 some subject of interest to the mem- 

 bers, listened November 22 to two pa- 

 pers on the subject of "The Gardener 

 and His Work," presented by John P. 

 Hammond and John A. Forbes, the lat- 

 ter gardener at Bythesea. While the 

 papers were on the same general sub- 

 ject, the writers had treated it in widely 

 different ways, each giving from his 

 own experience and reading a number 

 of interesting points concerning the 

 making of gardens and the work of the 

 gardeners, Mr. Hammond going as far
