DENVER, COLO. 



Spring seems tci liave set in in good 

 earnest, but we had very bad weather Fri- 

 day and Saturday before Easter, whi(5Ti 

 hurt the Easter trade, especially in 

 plants. There never were so many fine 

 plants for that occasion in Denver be- 

 fore and if it had not been for the 

 weather everyone would have been pretty 

 well sold out. As it was there were 

 quite a lot of plants left over. But in 

 cut flowers the supply and demand were 

 .iust about cyen. with the exception of 

 bulbous stock, of which large quantities 

 were grown, much more than the demand. 

 Good demand for Beauties and not 

 enough. There were not so many baskets 

 of plants put up this year as last. Koses 

 at $1.50 to $4 sold well. Lilies brought 

 35c per flower. Violets were fine and 

 sold well. Take it on the whole the 

 florists were well satisfied with their 

 Easter trade. 



N. A. Benson is well under way with 

 his new place of 20,000 feet of glass. 

 The Horist Club had a surprise iu the 

 way of twenty-five blooms of Mrs. Pot- 

 ter Palmer carnations, with stems 28 to 

 30 inches long. They were the finest 

 scarlet that we have seen out here. They 

 were sent by the Chicago Carnation Co. 

 and attracted much admiration among 

 the members. Thorne. 



MILWAUKEE. 



It is remarkable how vvull business has 

 kept up since Easter. Stock of all kimls 

 sold well during the past week and ap- 

 pearances point to a good spring, with 

 plenty of stock. 



Holton & Hunkel Co. handled an im- 

 mense quantity of stock during Easter 

 week. They report the best Easter they 

 have ever haa, with sales fully 25 per 

 cent better than former years. 



Heitman & Baermau were in full crop 

 for Easter, sending in large quantities 

 of carnations of a select grade. They 

 will erect six new houses this spring. 



F. P. Dilger sent in the most bulbous 

 flowers that have ever been sent to a 

 wholesale house here. He will erect two 

 new houses this summer. 



Several shipments of flowers for Mon- 

 tana were on a stalled train, consequent- 

 ly did not arrive until four days after 

 Easter. F. H. 



OTTAWA, ONT. 



The Easter trade here is described as 

 very good with supply equal to demand, 

 and as a general thing of an entirely 

 satisfactorj' qyality. The only drawback 

 to trade was the weather, which on the 

 all important Saturday before Easter was 

 far from offering ideal conditions for 

 the disposal of flowers and plants. There 

 was a steady downpour of rain from eariy 

 morning until night. 



Easter Sunday was fine, however, allow- 

 ing the decorations of the churches, etc., 

 to appear to more advantage than would 

 have been possible under the conditions 

 that prevailed Saturday. A .0. L. 



Kexosha, Wis. — Lewis Turner has 

 .sold his greenhouses to Henry B. Camp. 

 There is about 25,000 scjuare feet of glass 

 devoted to cut flowers and plant stock 

 lor a general business. Mr. Turner is 

 now on a two week's trip through Vir- 

 ginia and will locate there if he finds a 

 desirable opening for a growing estab- 

 lishment.
