The Weekly Florists' Review.

DENVER, COLO. 

 Trade and News Items. 



A cold night or two the past week 

 has shortened up the supply consid- 

 erably. More particularly was this no- 

 ticed when the stores were busy with 

 funeral work. Dahlias helped out 

 though, and are now at their best. 

 Good teas are yet scarce, but Beauties 

 are in fair supply and find ready sale. 



Maler & Denkworth were first in 

 with violets, but as yet they are a lit- 

 tle small, still a great many are sold. 



The Park Floral Co. began to cut 

 mums two weeks ago. Fitzwygram be- 

 ing the variety. They also had some 

 fair pot plants of the same which sold 

 well. This firm is well up on mums, 

 both in cut flowers and pot plants. 

 In the latter they have some very neat 

 pans which ought to go off fast when 

 in flower. 



On Wednesday and Thursday of this 

 week we are to have the Horse Show 

 which should naturally help the trade. 



Mr. Niel .Takobsen, who has been 

 with Mrs. R. Mauff at her Harmon 

 greenhouses for a few weeks, has re- 

 signed to take a position in Chicago. 

 Too bad to lose "Jak" as he was a 

 good bowler as well as a "good fel- 

 low." We figured on him for next 

 year as "Jak" as well as five others 

 were surely going — fifty-two weeks in 

 advance. 



The Florists' Club held a meeting on 

 Friday, Sept. 21st, and was the largest 

 attended since its organization. The 

 members take a lively interest in the 

 forthcoming show and it will be no 

 fault of theirs if the show is not a suc- 

 cess. Mr. Davis re-read his paper on 

 "What can be done to help the trade 

 in Colorado," and a discussion fol- 

 lowed. The club is acting wisely in 

 giving these monthly papers, for it 

 draw.s out the crowd and creates inter- 

 est generally. ROCKY.

• TARRYTOWN, N Y. 



Meeting of Tarrvtown H^rt. Society. 



The Tarrytown Horticultural Society 

 held its monthly meeting Sept. 27th. 



F. R. Pierson Co. put up a grand 

 display of dahlias comprising seven- 

 teen varieties, which was awarded a 

 certificate of merit. They also showed 

 three vases of cannas. Rosemawr, Kate 

 Grey and Tarrytown. the two former 

 kinds were awarded certificates of 

 merit. 



Wm. Turner showed seven varieties 

 of dahlias, the colors being excellent. 



John Egan was awarded a certifi- 

 cate of merit for his new seedling 

 canna. The color of the flower is or- 

 ange-scarlet, the foliage dark bronze. 

 It is a valuable addition to the canna 

 family. Mr. Egan also put up a vase 

 of Dahlia Camelliaeflora. 



The exhibit created considerable dis- 

 cussion on dahlia culture. 



The following were elected to mem- 

 bership: Alex. Hoag, E. Hansen. F. 

 S. Pararaer, Chas. Briggs. Win. P. 

 Ross and Chas. Robinson.
