FBOVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



There was a good volume of business 

 last week; the increased supply of all 

 kinds of cut flowers caused the prices 

 to drop and thus accelerated the de- 

 mand. An unusual number of weddings 

 occurred during the week and these 

 added to the call. One custom that has 

 shown a material Increase during the 

 last few years is that of sending cut 

 flowers to friends who are sick. There 

 has been an unusual amount of sickness 

 and in consequence there has been a 

 growing demand for blooms. The 

 growers and retailers are looking for- 

 ward to a big Decoration day trade 

 and lots of potted stock are being 

 grown for that occasion. 



Various Notes. 



Johnston Bros, have just made a 

 large importation of rhododendrons and 

 boxwood plants.

 been booking a large number of orders

 ish iris and baby gladioli.
