PEOVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



The cut flower business in this city 

 has been at the lowest ebb the last 

 week and, because of the excessive 

 heat, no one has seemed to really care 

 if there was no business. It was 

 simply too hot to work. But, notwith- 

 standing the weather conditions, the 

 aggregate business done during the 

 week was fully up to the average for 

 this time of the year. Sweet peas and 

 roses, with a few lilies, bachelor's but- 

 tons and carnations, find their way 

 into the market and each day about 

 equal the supply. 



Not alone are the florists affected 

 by the heat, for the growens suffer, as 

 the situation hereabouts is actually be- 

 coming serious. There have been 

 forty-two days of drought, not a drop 

 of water having fallen until July 11 

 and then only a few drops. Last week 

 the thermometer played up about 90 

 degrees each day and dropped only to 

 about 80 degrees the coolest nights. 

 All vegetation is badly burned.
