The Rorists^ Review 



Dbcbmbeb 9, 1920 



DENVER, COLO. 



The Market. 



Business was good last week. The de- 

 mand was only slightly less than that 

 of Thanksgiving week. Some varieties 

 of cut stock are scarce, roses more so 

 than others. Carnations are arriving 

 of fine quality. There has been little 

 call for Paper Whites, but they hold at 

 6 cents. A few callas are coming in now 

 and some good Easter lilies are to be 

 had. Sweet peas are improving in qual- 

 ity every day. Small quantities of vio- 

 lets complete the list. Shipping trade 

 last week was good. 



Poinsettias promise to be unusually 

 good this season. This market seldom 

 sees them with good foliage, but, bar- 

 ring mishaps, within the next two weeks 

 there will be plenty of good blooms. 



Various Notes. 



The Roberts Rose Co., besides its cut 

 flower trade, is fast developing its busi- 

 ness in rose plants out of pots for bed- 

 ding purposes. The company's slogan 

 is: "Western roses for western condi- 

 tions." J. T. Roberts says, "We believe 

 that own-root, pot-grown roses are far 

 better in the semi-arid west. They will 

 show a far smaller loss the first year 

 than dormant stock. We have on our 

 list only such varieties as grow vigor- 

 ously without budding. They include 

 the hybrid teas, polyanthus and climb- 

 ing roses of all kinds. 



Albert Hambergcr is cutting fine 

 sweet peas now. 



Ben Boldt has a splendid house of 

 poinsettias. 



Walter G. Lehrcr is cutting good 

 carnations from his new range, on the 

 north side. He reports having done 

 well with his mums this year. 



The City Floral Co. has a fine crop of 

 poinsettias, and also quantities of ciner- 

 arias that are coming along nicely. 



George McNamara, with Frank F. 

 Crump, Colorado Springs, Colo., was a 

 visitor last week. 



Elitch Gardens Co. has a fine lot of 

 freesias coming on. R. E. H.
