The Florists' Review 



August 12, 1915. 



DENVER, COLO. 



The Market. 



The market last week was quiet. 

 The supply of stock continues to be too 

 heavy for market requirements, and 

 the oversupply, combined with the 

 small amount of business, has served to 

 bring prices down to a low point. Sev- 

 eral stores are retailing carnations at 

 25 cents per dozen, and roses at 35 

 cents and 50 cents. Gladioli dominate 

 the market. Some fine dahlias are ar- 

 riving. All other outdoor flowers are 

 plentiful, but there is not much sale 

 for them. Snapdragons are good. 

 Sweet peas are good and arriving in 

 large quantities. The shipping busi- 

 ness holds up well.

 the Denver Wholesale Florists' Co., has
