STRONG, durable com- 

 mercial houses in which 

 you will find the same atten- 

 tion to detail which we give 

 to our private estate work 

 plus a construction that 

 casts the least possible 

 shadow. 



If you want to grow more 

 firsts and make more profit, 

 you want a KING. 



DENVER, COLO. 



The Market. 



Considering the time of year and the 

 hot weather, business has been excel- 

 lent. There is a good supply of almost 

 everything, but nothing in the nature 

 of a glut has occurred yet. There has 

 been almost no funeral work lately and 

 pot plants of any kind cannot be had. 

 In spite of the good supply, roses still 

 bring about the same price. Sweet peas 

 are scarce, as the greenhouse-grown are 

 gone and the outdoor stock is just com- 

 ing in. Good Shasta daisies and lark- 

 spurs are to be had now. 



Various Notes. 



Practically all of tlie downtown stores 

 were closed July 5, perhaps the one day 

 in the year when that happens. 



J. E. Barker, proprietor of the Trini- 

 dad Floral Co., Trinidad, Colo., was a 

 visitor last week. 



W. W. Willmore is cutting fine Shasta 

 daisies. 



Holly Zolman, at 1901 South Logan 

 street, will soon begin repair work on 

 his entire establishment. In addition 

 he will build two new houses for carna- 

 tions and a new office. 



W. W. Miles lias leased his green- 

 house proi)crty in Wheatridge to Albert 

 Hambergcr. R. E. H. 



Feoria, lU. — Otto Siebenthal has pur- 

 chased the establishment of the Pear- 

 son Co. 



Hastings, Neb. — A. A. Lohman has 

 purchased the C. B. Tanner flower shop 

 in the Madgett block. 



An Elastic Cement That Expands 

 and Contracts With the Weather 



Make your greenhouse weather-tisht with Aabestfalt. 

 the elastic cement that never gets hard, cracks or 

 peels in cold weather or runs in hot weather. 



91.25 per gallon. Why pay more? 

 You can't get anything better no matter how much 

 more you pay. The ingredients are of the purest; 

 weighs but 10 pounds to the gallon. 

 With the scarcity of coal and its high prices, the 

 careful application of Asbestfalt will more than pay 

 for itself by keeping your greenhouse air-tight. 



To insure best results, apply Asbestfalt 

 with our Liquid Putty Machine, pries 

 S2.00. With every barrel purchase of 

 Asbestfalt, one machine free.
