The Weekly Florists* Review, 



JUNE 14, vm 



DENVER, COLO. 



The store men all report a good 

 trade the past two weeks. Beginning 

 with Decoration Day flowers began to 

 get scarce, that is, roses and carna- 

 tions. Plenty ot outdoor stuff, but 

 that went off slowly. There was a 

 tremendous call for Beauties, and as 

 they ran short Brides and Maids 

 went; carnations, also, were well 

 cleaned up by night. Then came the 

 school commencements and we had 

 three good days of it. Beauties ot 

 course were the favorites and what 

 were to be had were ordered long in 

 advance. Reminded one very much of 

 Easter or Christmas when they would 

 offer any price for a dozen long ones, 

 but they were not to be had. 



We are now in the midst of the 

 paeony season. Some very fine ones 

 are to be seen, especially those grown 

 by Wilmore. He has a pink one 

 that is really a "beaut;" would beat a 

 Maud Dean mum if it wasn't for the 

 fact that it is a paeony. 



Indoor sweet peas that have had a 

 fine run all spring have begun to look 

 "grassy," and we look for the outdoor 

 ones very soon. Carnations, while 

 still good in quality, are a little too 

 good in quantity; prices hold up, 

 though, and would rather waste a few 

 than drop the price. 



There have been a few weddings of 

 late, but none calling for any great 

 amount of work. The only decoration 

 of note being the ball given by the 

 University Club. The decorations for 

 this were quite elaborate. 



The columbine is making its first 

 appearance in the store windows. 

 There is something about the colum- 

 bine that's nice. You in the East 

 may have your goldenrod; or the 

 Scotchman his thistle, and the Irish- 

 man his wild Irish rose, but for a 

 Coloradoan give me the columbine. 



On Friday last a florists' club was 

 organized, the purpose of which will 

 be to hold a fall show at the city park. 

 Officers were elected and committees 

 appointed, including an irrigation 

 committee. The president did not say 

 what the duties of the last named 

 committee shall be; they are to act 

 during the show. Some pretty good 

 stuff is brewed here, but I think" the 

 best comes over from St. Louis. An- 

 other meeting will be held Friday 

 evening, when all necessary arrange- 

 ments will be completed and the club 

 will start out on a good footing.
