The Weeldy Florists' Review* 



Jasuabv 30. 1002. 



DENVER. COLO. 



Various Notes. 



For about two weeks- after the holi- 

 days the demand for cut flowers was not 

 very good, but at the present time it is 

 good. Roses and white carnations are 

 not up to the demand. 



The old State Horticultural Society 

 has just been revived here. A three- 

 day meeting was held January 22, 23 

 and 24, which was largely attended by 

 horticulturists from all parts of the 

 state. The old societj' was merged into 

 a horticultural bureau of which the gov- 

 ernor of the state appointed the officers. 

 The horticulturists who met here seem to 

 think that it is only run politically and 

 that the officers appointed do not know 

 much about horticulture, and therefore 

 it is of no benefit to the horticulturists 

 of the state. One afternoon was given 

 up to the Denver Florists' Club, which 

 decorated the hall in fine shape, and had 

 several of its members down for essays. 

 Those of special note were by our c.x- 

 President A. J. Graham and R. Sehuctze. 

 On the day before a paper was read by 

 J. A. Valentine on "Perennials." 



The Denver Florists' Club elected 

 their officers at the regular meeting 

 January 10 as follows: John Satterth- 

 waite, president; E. W. Davies, first 

 vice-president; Robert Kurth, second 

 vice-president; F. T. Rushmore, secre- 

 tary; and A. M. Lewis, treasurer.

CENSUS STATISTICS. 



The new census statistics on estab- 

 lishments making the cultivation of 

 flowers and ornamental plants their prin- 

 cipal business have been issued by the 

 department at Washington. 



The figures show for the United States 

 a total of G,159 such establishments, 

 cultivating and using in their busines,s 

 42,047 acres, of which 34.692 are im- 

 proved land. The value of the land and 

 buildings used by these establishments is 

 $30,619,866, of which $22,054,756 repre- 

 sents the buildings alone. The value of 

 implements and machinery for these es- 

 tablishments is $1,307,087. 



Products, including the flowers grown 

 in greenhouses and fields and farm crops 

 on lands controlled by them, are worth 

 $18,387,420. The amount expended by 

 these establishments for fertilizer was 

 $318,298 and for labor $4,125,799. 



FORGET-ME-NOT. 



Messrs. Hartmann & Wagenfohr. Win 

 field Junction, X. Y., send us a bunch 

 of sprays of their forget-me-not. Tlie 

 sprays were very pretty and stems long 

 and strong. They write that they have 

 been cutting from the same plants since 

 middle of August. It is a strong grow- 

 er and bears considerable forcing. Stems 

 15 to 18 inches long are not infrequent, 

 especially if some disbudding is done. 

 The plants are placed 15 inches apart 

 on the bench. They find a ready sale 

 for the flowers in the New York market 

 and have found it a paying crop. 



Skaneateles, N. Y. — The two houses 

 recently erected by J. G. White are 20x 

 SO. He used the Garland iron gutter, 

 and says it has proved very satisfactory 

 to date. He contemplates adding another 

 new house. 18x80, the coming season.
