PROVIDENCE. 



Trade Conditions. 



Business has been fair for mid-Lent 

 and there is every prospect that Easter 

 trade will be in excess of years before. 

 Prices range low. There is a good sup- 

 ply of everything, while violets are al- 

 most a drug on the market. The warm 

 weather of the last week sent them 

 shooting ahead at such a rate that a 

 majority of the growers will be oflp crop 

 for Easter. Keports seem to indicate 

 that there may be a shortage of first- 

 class lilies for this great occasion. 

 There appears to be a large supply of 

 second rate stock, but first quality is 

 reported short. 



Various Notes. 



Growers are much concerned over the 

 boost in the price of fuel. Coal that 

 was $3.25 a ton a year ago, delivered, 

 is now $6.75 to $7.50 at the yard, and 

 even at these figures the dealers are 

 not willing to book orders of any 

 quantity. 



Thev Dexter Greenhouses, under the 

 new management of John Sharkey Co., 

 report business as being good. Mr. 

 Sharkey was formerly forestry manager 

 for George Johnson & Son, at the Elm- 

 wood Nurseries. 



E. Huntley, with F. Macrae & Sons, 

 has been enjoying a vacation trip in 

 the south. 



A lecture by James Robertson, of 

 Newport, under the auspices of the 

 Greystone Horticultural Society, was 

 held March 25, This is the third of a 

 series that has been held during the 

 winter months. Mr. Robertson took for 

 his topic "Dahlia Culture." 



The large plate glass window on the 

 Chestnut street side in Macnair's new 

 store has been wrecked by the severe 

 winds three times during the last win- 

 ter. 



J. A. Budlong & Sons Co., of Auburn, 

 have purchased a new thirty horse- 

 power Pope-Hartford automobile truck 

 for delivery purposes. 



Charles Newton, formerly head gar- 

 dener for I. T. Burden, of Newport, has 

 succeeded Samuel Cunningham as super- 

 intendent of the R. T. Wilson, Jr., 

 estate at Palmetto Bluff, S. C. 



Arthur R. Magee and W. D. Burt are 

 conducting the Interstate Forestry Co., 

 at 226 Ed^ street. 



.Joseph Kopelman is considering the 

 erection of at least two more green- 

 houses at his range in Oaklawn. 



Eugene McCarron is preparing to be- 

 gin the erection of a new greenhouse 

 at his range on Hope street.
