The Weekly Florists' Review. 



N0VE5IBKR 1-1, 1901. 



DENVER. COLO. 



The warm, clear weather continues 

 and lots of the outside flowers are 

 blooming yet. Tliese conditions 

 are unfavorable to the mums, 

 as it is bringing them out too 

 soon, and also it prevents much of any- 

 thing in the way of receptions or en- 

 tertainments. Some of the florists are 

 shading their houses and keeping the 

 ventilators open nights so as to keep 

 them back as much as possible. The 

 sales are not what they should be, prices 

 ranging from $1.00 to $4.00 per dozen. 



On a visit to Benson's place we found 

 his carnations, of which he has between 

 nine to ten thousand, in splendid con- 

 dition; one bench in particular of 

 White Cloud was a beauty, also one of 

 Mrs. Bradt was fine. His rose plants 

 are flne, though the flowers are not quite 

 up to the standard. Violets in prime 

 condition. 



At the Davies Bros', place we found 

 their house of mums (50x50) iij elegant 

 shape. Their Robinsons they feel proud 

 of, and well they may, for they are 

 first class and bring the top notch price, 

 which for a florist counts a good deaL 

 They have enough carnations planted 

 in light fruit bo.xes, set just the distance 

 required on the benches, and after the 

 mums are out they set the boxes right 

 on the benches, taking off the sides, but 

 do not disturb the bottom and there you 

 are. They are growing lots of miscel- 

 laneous plants for the spring trade. 



At the Colfax Floral Co.'s, the largest 

 amount of glass in Denver, we found 

 everything a humming. They not only 

 do a large wholesale but also a large 

 retail business. We found his mums 

 pretty well advanced. Roses were in fine 

 condition. His carnations, under the 

 care of John Ferris, are doing fine, 

 though he has some rust in his bench 

 of Flora Hill. One bench of Bon Ton 

 are looking elegant and by the way, this 

 is the only place that Bon Ton is 'grown 

 that I know of, most of the others grow- 

 ing Crane. 



The Park Floral Co. attract a great 

 deal of attention by the artistic displays 

 in their windows under the supervision 

 of Phil Scott. During the week they 

 had an elegant display of orchids, such 

 as Cattleya labiata, and later they had 

 the bottom of the window turfed and a 

 game of football in full swing. They 

 serve to keep an admiring throng in 

 front most of the time. 



Emil Glauber has sold out his inter- 

 est in the store of Glauber & Webb to T 

 I. Ballantine, of Peoria, 111. 



Charley Fawcett is back from the 

 government greenhouses. District of 

 Columbia, where he has been for the last 

 two years. His health would not per- 

 mit him to .live east. He is with the 

 Park Floral Co. at present.
