The Florists^ Review 



JANUAEY 8, 1920. 



DENVER. 



The Market. 



Business during the holidays has been 



unusually good. While stock of all kinds 



was fairly plentiful, everything was 



sold out. Boses and carnations in red 



and dark pink were sold out early, but 



everything in the flower line has been 



sold out clean for the last three weeks. 



Peiuaettias were splendid this year and 



found a ready market. Even freesias 



ao4 Paper Whites sold well. 



The supply of blooming plants is good 

 this winter. After Christmas there usu- 

 ally is a shortage, but now one is able 

 to get a good assortment. Begonias, 

 cyclamens, heather, cinerarias, freesias 

 and Paper Whites are to be had. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Western has left the employ of 

 N. A. Benson and has gone to Des 

 Moines, la., to accept a position with the 

 Iowa Seed Co. 



During the cold wave shortly before 

 Christmas, when the temperature was 

 20 degrees below zero, Adolph Konecny 

 had the misfortune to lose his boiler 

 room by fire. The loss amounted to 

 about $400 on the buildings. Consider- 

 able stock was damaged by frost. Al- 

 fred Smith's place in Harmon was com- 

 ■^letely frozen out during the same 

 night. Mr. Smith is now trying to rent 

 the place to two young Denver men, who 

 intend to plant it in roses. Negotiations 

 will probably be closed this week. 



The New York Floral Co. has an at- 

 tractive new delivery car. E. S. 



Dayton, O. — One reason why people of 

 this city should ' ' Say It with Flowers ' ' 

 is suggested by an enthusiastic write-up 

 of Miss Olive Bitter and her work, 

 which appeared in the Dayton Sunday 

 News December 7. Descended from two 

 generations of florists, she went into 

 business for herself about nine years 

 ago at 1123 West Third street. In an 

 interview she mentioned various pe- 

 culiarities that she had noticed in the 

 demand for flowers, such as the for- 

 eigners' like for ornate funeral designs, 

 especially one of a clock with its hands 

 pointing to the hour of the demise.
