The Florists' Review 



Adgcst 8, 1912. 



PBOVIDENCE. 



. ^ The Market. :*'• 



BoMness is dull, even for the summer 

 season. Stock is generally poor in qual- 

 ity and short in quantity, and but for 

 funeral work the retailers might well 

 close their places of business for the 

 time being. Weather conditions have 

 been about as bad as they could Ue for 

 the growers, but a few showers last 

 week have tended to cause much im- 



?rovement in field crops and stock, 

 rices? Well, about anything the pub- 

 lic will pay. 



Various Notes. 



William Doel, of Paseoag, visited New 

 York last week for the purpose of meet- 

 ing his brother, Herbert, whom he had 

 not seen for twenty-three years. The 

 latter is now attached to the sailing 

 force of the great ocean liner, Olympic. 



Charles Funk and B. Minham, who 

 are in the employ of Wadley & Smythe, 

 Newport, participated in a daring cap- 

 ture of a runaway horse the other morn- 

 ing.f They were driving in the firm's 

 delivery wagon, when a horse attached 

 to another wagon came up from behind 

 at a rapid rate, with no driver on the 

 seat. As the runaway passed the Wad- 

 ley & Smythe wagon, Mr. Minham 

 touched up his horse and caught up with 

 the runaway. Then Mr. Funk, step- 

 ping out on the shaft of the florists' 

 wagon and taking a favorable moment, 

 leaped to the back of the runaway. 

 Working his way back into the seat, he 

 caught up the reins and soon had - the 

 runaway under control. 



Alexander H. Johnson, of George 

 Johnson & Son, Elmwood Greenhouses, 

 has been stopping with his family at 

 their summer home at Quonochontaug, 

 on the southern coast of the state. 



The O. H. Williams & Sons Co. is busy 

 repairing and renovating its houses on 

 Hartford avenue.

 turned from an enjoyable vacation trip 

 to Montreal and Toronto.

 August 1 for a week's automobile trip 

 with his wife through the White moun- 

 tains and the Berkshires. 



Fred C. Green, superintendent of 

 parks of this city, will attend the 

 fourteenth annual convention of park

 ing exhibition by the Field Naturalists' 

 Club of Central Falls, for the six best 

 cactus dahlias. 



H. C. Neubrandt, with W. S. Pino, 

 has returned from a vacation trip spent 

 in the vicinity of his old home in west- 

 ern New York. 



J. K. Allen, of New York, was a vis- 

 itor in this city last week and enjoyed 

 a>vi8it to the greenhouses of the J. A. 

 Budlong & Son Co., at Auburn. 



W. H. O'Connor and family are at 

 their cottage in Sakonnet, the extreme 

 southeastern point of land in the state, 

 for the balance of the season. 



Lawrence Hay and wife, of East 

 Providence, have been spending a few 

 days with Mr. Hay's brother and fam- 

 ily, at Newport. 



• Morey & Sellew, who recently suc- 

 ceeded Mrs. A. E. Westcott, on Public 

 street, report a good run of business. 



Thomas Curley has just purchased a 

 t'^^enty . horse-power Warren touring au-

Half Iron 

 Frame 

 Facts 



IF THE Iron Frame Construc- 

 tion costs a bit more than 

 you care to invest just 

 now, then our Half Iron 

 Frame stands as the very best 

 next best. 



The sides, up to the eaves, are 

 practically like the Full Iron 

 Frame House. The roof is car- 

 ried by angle purlins supported 

 by independent columns, hav- 

 ing pipe croes ties in the wider 

 houses. 



Coneidering its cost, this Half 

 Iron Frame Construction of ours 

 is beyond all doubt a splendid 

 value for your money. You 

 can't go wrong on such an in- 

 vestment. 



In that New Catalogue we re- 

 cently had published— both the 

 Half Iron Frame and Full Iron 

 Frame constructions are des- 

 cribed and illustrated in a most 

 complete way. The illustrations 

 are unusual. Two en them— an 

 exterior and an interior— occupy 

 the space straight across two 

 facing pages. 



There is not another catalogue 

 like it in the greenhouse field. 

 See that you get a copy.
