DENVER, COLO. 



The Market. 



There has been a slight falling off in 

 the call for cut flowers in the city trade, 

 but the out-of-town demand is as strong 

 as ever. Roses and carnations are ex- 

 cellent and are arriving in large quan- 

 tities, but clean up each day. Sweet 

 peas are abundant and have a good call, 

 being the favorite corsage flower just 

 now. Snapdragons are fine, with long, 

 stiff stems. Violets are not so popular 

 as they were formerly. The market is 

 well supplied with cattleyas, but they 

 are moving satisfactorily. Bulbous 

 stock is more abundant, jonquils espe- 

 cially so. The market is well supplied 

 with pot plants just now, tulips, hya- 

 cinths, jonquils and daffodils being 

 abundant. Other offerings include 

 Primula malacoides, schizanthus, fu- 

 chsias, freesias and yellow callas. Pan- 

 sies in 6 and 8-inch pans sell well. St. 

 Patrick's day business was good, un- 

 usually large numbers of shamrocks in 

 2 and 3-inch pots being disposed of. 

 Green flowers sold well, especially carna- 

 tions and sweet peas. There was a good 

 call for novelties. 



Various Notes. 



B. Lammerman, proprietor of the City 

 Floral Co., was left so weak by an at- 

 tack of Spanish influenza that he will 

 be unable to attend to business for a 

 long time; consequently he is offering 

 his place for sale. 



The America Flower Shop had an at- 

 tractive St. Patrick 's day window. 



Frank Dykstra has accepted a position 

 with Fred Hall. 



C. F. Maler is making a number of 

 improvements on liis place. A much 

 needed office is in the course of construc- 

 tion. A blower recently was installed 

 in one of the boilers and is proving 

 highly satisfactory. 



Bernhardt Boldt is sending in some 

 extra fine pot roses, with from ten to 

 fifteen buds and flowers to the plant. 



William Horlacher, manager of the 

 retail store of tlie Bartcldes Seed Co., 

 has two interesting window displays 

 that are attracting more than a little 

 attention. One of the windows con- 

 tained plants of the common and Jap- 

 anese barberries. Posters tell the story 

 that the Japanese variety should be 

 saved, because it is harmless, and the 

 other one should be destroyed, to pre- 

 vent the spread of wheat rust. There 

 were 10,000 plants of the common bar- 

 berry in Denver, most of them in the 

 parks. In the other window were shown 

 heads of wheat, oats, barley an<l millet, 

 affected by smut; also some smutted and 

 healthy wheat. Bulletins from the State 

 Agricultural College explain the method 

 of treatment of grain that is affected by 

 smut. A solution of formaldehyde is 

 recommended. R. S.
