The Weekly Florists' Review* 



June 26, 1902. 



DENVER, COL. 



Trade Conditions. 



The florists are having a chance to re- 

 cuperate after their hard work of the 

 past six weeks. The demand for plants 

 lias been far greater this year than ever 

 before, and instead of having a large 

 number left over, the different florists 

 have been chasing all over to get stock 

 to fill their orders. 



Prices have been fair. In cut flowers 

 good stock is scarce and in demand, while 

 much of the conimon stock goes into the 

 trash heap. There have been the usual 

 June weddings, some of which used ela- 

 borate church decorations. Eoses are 

 selling from $1 to $3 per dozen; carna- 

 tions, 50 cents to 75 cents. 



Notes. 



At Benson 's new place in South Den- 

 ver we find his carnations and violets all 

 planted in the benches and doing nicely. 

 He will not put in his glass until later 

 in the season. At his old place in Peters- 

 burg his carnations look well for this 

 time of the year; in fact, they have been 

 at the top notch during the season. He 

 gives up this place, which he leased, in 

 July and Andrew Haig will lease it and 

 grow flowers and vegetables. 



A. W. Lewis, of the Gallup Floral Co., 

 has been quite sick, but I am glad to state 

 is again up and around the store. 



Ben Boldt, foreman for the Park Flor- 

 al Co., has resigned and accepted a posi- 

 tion in the same capacity at Daniels & 

 Fisher 's plant ' ' Mud Lake ' '. Ben is 

 very popular among both his employers 

 and those employed by him, as was shewn 

 one evening just before he left. The boys 

 prepared lunch in the potting sheds and 

 during the evening presented him with a 

 watch charm, and Mr. Valentine, repre- 

 senting the Park Floral Co., gave him a 

 handsome gold watch. 



The Denver Floral Co at its next meet- 

 ing will discu.ss the question of having 

 a 'mum show this fall and we expect a 

 large attendance at the meeting. The 

 club is doing nicely, with fair attendance, 

 considering that we meet twice a month. 

 One thing that favors the attendance is 

 the fact that rarely, if ever, have any of 

 the five ofiicers been absent since the 

 first of the year. That brings out the 

 boys. The club is going to give its an- 

 nual picnic soon and all are looking for- 

 ward to it with much pleasure, especial- 

 ly as it is in the hands of an A 1 com- 

 mittee — Fraser, Haig and Shiloock. 



The club had made and presented to A. 

 J. Graham, manager of the spring show- 

 an elaborate Masonic watch charm. Mr. 

 Graham was called to the floor and 

 thanked for the care and attention he 

 had devoted to the show to make it the 

 success it was, and was presented with 

 what he thought was a set of resolutions, 

 and on being asked to read them he 

 opened the scroll of paper, handsomely 

 tied with ribbon, and you can imagine 

 his surprise when instead of written re- 

 solutions there was the charm. Though 

 taken aback, he rallied and replied in his 

 usual happy manner. 



Thorne. 



St. Paul, Minn. — The summer meet- 

 ing of the Minnesota State Horticultural 

 Society was hohl at the State Experiment 

 Station, St. Anthony's Park, June 19. 

 Several interesting papers were read and 

 a basket lunch was seiTed.
