DENVER. 



The Market. 



There is no change in market condi- 

 tions since last report. Gladioli, 

 dahlias and asters are arriving in large 

 quantities. There are enough roses and 

 carnations to supply all demands. Calls 

 are beginning to come in for blooming 

 plants, such as cyclamens, Begonia 

 luminosa and B. Prima Donna. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Mary Jane Dungan, who was em- 

 ployed at the Bargain Flower Store, on 

 Fifteenth street, committed suicide in 

 her room at the Monroe hotel August 

 5, by taking lysol. 



One of the greenhouses of the City 

 Floral Co. caught fire from an oil stove 

 that was placed under a bench to give 

 a little more heat to the poinsettia cut- 

 tings. The fire was discovered and put 

 out before it had spread much. The 

 smoke, however, ruined most of the 

 plants in that house. The poinsettia s 

 are a total loss, but some 1,500 ferns 

 can be cut back and started again. 



Maude Feaiy, a well known actress 

 and a Denver product, appeared last 

 week at the Denham theater in a play 

 entitled "Sauce for the Goose." On 

 the opening night Miss Fealy received 

 enough flowers to require six ushers to 

 pass them over the footlights at the 

 end of the second act. Nothing like 

 it had ever been seen on a Denver 

 stage, but the florists hope that it will 

 be done often from now on. 



President Patrick Welch, of Boston, 

 and E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., were 

 among the large number of eastern flo- 

 rists who stopped over for a few days 

 on their way to the S. A. F. convention. 



Friday, the thirteenth, proved to be 

 an unlucky day for a large number of 

 vegetable growers in this vicinity. A 

 severe hail storm passed over this sec- 

 tion, and their entire crop was beaten 

 to the ground. As far as I can learn, 

 no greenhouses were in the direct path 

 of the hail. 



Verner J, Davis, superintendent of 

 Crown Hill cemetery, has everything in 

 the best of condition at the cemetery. 

 Mr. Davis shows with pride a consid- 

 erable number of excellent specimens

 them, for they are as fine specimens as 

 can be found anywhere. Mr. Davis is
