With the approach of Eastet every- 

 thing in the floral line seems to be put- 

 ting on its best garb; from the hardy 

 lilac all the way down to the miniatiire 

 primula all seem to be in the greatest 

 profusion of bloom. Weather conditions 

 enable the florists out here to bring in 

 flowering stock with ease. Deciduous 

 shrubs are ready to pop open under a 

 few days' treatment of moist atmos- 

 phere, and a weel^'s notice to the florist 

 enables him to give his patrons a spring 

 decoration of apple, plum and cherry 

 blossoms. Considering the beauty and 

 adaptability of this Ivind of stock and its 

 profusion throughout the country, it is 

 astonishing how little of it is used in 

 floral arrangements. I noticed quite re- 

 cently in the windows of the Scott Floral 

 Co. an attractive decoration of apricot 

 branches combined with light azaleas and 

 delicate pink ribbon, deftly arranged. 

 The apricot in question is the Russian 

 variety, which frequently flowers but sel- 

 dom sets fruit out heTc. It develops 

 into flower in cold water in a few days 

 and possesses the good qualities of keep- 

 ing and having a delicious fragrance. 



Prospects for the Easter trade are 

 very encouraging, especially from the 

 standpoint of supply, which will be 

 abundant in everything but American 

 Beauties, whicli liave been very scarce 

 since Christmas. Bulbous stuff" will 

 be plentiful and of good quality. Lilies, 

 while better than they have been for 

 several years, are not up to the old-time 

 standard. Hydr.Tngeas, deutzias, lilacs 

 and other shrubs are showing up well 

 and will be quite a factor in Easter 

 trade. 



A new aspirant for recognition out 

 here this spring is the imported wis- 

 taria, which at this date promises to 

 be quite attractive. It is grown in 6- 

 inch pots and not over eighteen inches 

 high, carrying from six to twelve flowers. 

 The Park Floral Co. is handling this 

 stock and think highly of it. 



Ben Boldt has a fine lot of 6- inch 



Rooted Carnation Cuttings.

genistas, but their usefulness out here 

 at Easter is questionable, as heretofore 

 they have proven poor sellers. 



The State Association of Florists, 

 which was organized last year, held its 

 annual meeting recently at the oflices of 

 the Park Floral Co. Its officers are: 

 President, John Satterthwait, Denver; 

 first vice-president. Frank Crump, Colo- 

 rado Springs; second vice-president, 

 George Fleischer, Pueblo ; secretary, J. 

 A. Valentine, Denver; treasurer, Mrs. 

 Johnson, Boulder. Its membership is 

 made up chiefly from the business es- 

 tablishments throughout the state. Its 

 object is to advance the various interests 



of the business, foster a social feeling 

 and create an incentive to grow superior 

 stock and exhibit same in friendly com- 

 petition at the annual State Fair and 

 other exhibitions. Several good papers 

 were read at the last meeting. Promi- 

 nent among them was one on carnation 

 culture by N. A. Benson, one on the 

 trials of a commission man by L. C. 

 Waterbury, and a few terse remarivs by 

 Mrs. Johnson on the first year's expe- 

 rience of a flori.H in the business, in 

 which she showed the disastrous as well 

 as the humorous features of the busi- 

 ness from the standpoint of a beginner. 

 Great Divide.
