THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



A Notable Victory. 



Our handsome display at the Flower Show last week made us many 

 new friends, not only in New York, but everywhere. Our somewhat 

 different display was a revelation to everybody. It was the Sunshine 

 Baskets and other dainty novelties that made our booth one of the most 

 attractive features of the show. We have plenty of duplicates here of 

 all we displayed there. Let us send you some. Our Silent Salesman 

 will tell you anything you want to know about Florists' Supplies. 

 Shall he call?

Various Notes. 



This city and vicinity were well repre- 

 sented at the National Flower Show at 

 New York last week, the delegation 

 being one of the largest that ever went

 John Burke, Joseph Kopelman, Edward 

 Brooks, Albert Holscher, Lawrence Hay, 

 Samuel Resnick, Alexander Macrae, 

 William Cohen, Eugene McCarren, 

 Cornelius Hartstra, William Hay, 

 Charles Smith, William O'Connor, Peter

The Woonsocket Hill Nurseries, of

The floral decorations at both church 

 and house at the recent Rice-Whiting 

 wedding at Franklin, R. I., were from 

 the Continental Greenhouses, Mr. Van 

 Leeuwen personally supervising the 

 work. 



A slight improvement was reported 

 last week in the condition of S. J. 

 Renter, of Westerly, who sustained a 

 shock four weeks ago. 



W. E. Barrett & Co. were among the 

 contributors to the western flood fund, 

 sending a check for $100. 



Peter O'Brien, night watchman at 

 the Conrad Schulz greenhouses, Wes- 

 terly, discovered a small blaze on the 

 roof of the building about 2 a. m. 

 April 9, and at once rang an alarm. 

 Before the arrival of the fire depart- 

 ment, however, Mr. Schulz and his 

 assistants succeeded in extinguishing 

 the flames. The damage was small.

tion for their store during Fashion 

 Week. A number of white columns, 

 supporting an arbor entwined with 

 wild smilax and illuminated by several 

 hundred miniature electric lamps in 

 various colors, made a pleasing effect. 



The first arbutus of the season came 

 in the middle of the week. It was 

 of unusually good quality and found 

 ready sale. 



Albert Holscher is cutting some fine 

 stock. He is also furnishing it in pans,, 

 which are in good demand.
