Announcement 



C AFTER the first of July we will ship our ferns in corrugated paper boxes. 

 We have made numerous tests of these boxes this past season, and have finally 

 adopted them for all express shipments. C. By this innovation we save you at 

 least twenty-five per cent of your express charges. H, Thus, by ordering your 

 ferns from us, you will not only be sure of receiving the best grade of stock in 

 the market at all times, but you will save considerably on your express charges.

PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



The week just closed practically 

 epded all the rush work that the flo- 

 rists may expect before early fall. The 

 graduations of all kinds, June wed- 

 dings and their attendant receptions 

 and other social functions are over and 

 everybody in the trade is now settling 

 down to take things as easily and com- 

 fortably as possible. 



During the next couple of months 

 or so the retailers will overhaul and 

 renovate their stores and the green- 

 house men will occupy themselves sim- 

 ilarly in the improvement of their 

 benches in preparation for the installa- 

 tion of the winter stock. As a whole, 

 business has been fairly satisfactory. 

 Some grumble, but as a rule the volume 

 of trade has been considerably in ad- 

 vance of previous years and it is ex- 

 pected that next season will show a 

 corresponding increase. 



Newport's Spring Show. 



Last winter Mrs. Burke-Roche of- 

 fered the Newport Horticultural Soci- 

 ety a cash premium of $25 if any of the 

 members would grow a yellow rose simi- 

 lar in color to the Marechal Niel, but 

 with a stiff stem, the rose to be exhib- 

 ited and judged at the annual spring 

 show of the society. 



The show opened at Newport Tues- 

 day, June 25, and Mrs. Roche found 

 there exactly what she had desired, a 

 specimen of yellow rose that had been 

 grown by William Gray, gardener for 

 Mrs. William B. Leeds. There were two 

 other specimens submitted in competi- 

 tion, but the rose shown by Mr. Gr.ay 

 v.-as awarded the prize. 



The show was one of the best that 

 the society has ever held. Outdoor 

 grown roses from the gardens of August 

 Belmont, Mrs. Robert Goelet, Mrs. 

 Thomas J. Emery, Miss Fanny Foster 

 and Mrs. John Nicholas Brown were 

 prominent, and the Belmont and Goelet 

 entries won most of the prizes. Gar- 

 denias exhibited by Mrs. R. Livingston 

 Beeckman, Mrs. William B. Weld's 

 sweet peas and gloxinias, Mrs. J. 

 Mitchell Clark's peonies, and water 

 lilies from the estate of Mrs. Hugh D. 

 Auchincloss were all features of the 

 show.
