Distributes Sulphur, Ume, Sluf Shot, Grape Dust, Tobacco Dust, Paris 



Oreen or any other powdery substance. Does the work evenly, so every 



leaf receives Its due proportion, without any being wasted. By usUu^ 



the Peerless , a aoo-ft. greenhouse can be perfectly powdered In lem^ 



than five minutes. Florists say: 



"It's a vreat ImproTement over the bellows."

PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Providence witnessed one of the big- 

 gest Easter sales of flowers in its. his- 

 tory. Everywhere it was declared that 

 the traffic was the heaviest ever seen 

 and crowds thronged the flower stores, 

 while many bought from the depart- 

 ment stores. Up to Saturday morning 

 every indication was that there would 

 be a plentiful supply of everything, ex- 

 cept, perhaps, a few novelties. But 

 within a few hours after the opening 

 Saturday there was a rush made upon 

 all the growers and wholesalers for 

 more, but without success. 



Violets were more plentiful than ever 

 before, but in many places they were 

 all sold out before noon. One shop re- 

 ports having sold over 50,000 during the 

 evening. Bulbous and other growing 

 plants were plentiful and in great de- 

 mand. A big demand for American 

 Beauty and Eichmond roses made a 

 shortage in these, but there were plenty 

 of the Killarneys and My Maryland. 

 Orchids and gardenias were also in de- 

 mand. Prices ruled at about the same 

 as last year on all flowers. 



An extraordinarily large supply of 

 Easter and calla lilies was soon ex- 

 hausted, many of the churches having 

 gone extensively into decorations this 

 year. In many cases where it was found 

 impossible to meet the demand, combi- 

 nation baskets were made up and found 

 to be satisfactory. 



Various Notes.
