DENVER. 



Business has been verj- quiet during 

 the past two months, but is now assum- 

 ing an air of activity, partially perhaps 

 because there are a few good things now 

 comiug into market. There has been an 

 enormous lot of common outdor stuff 

 v.'liich finds but little market. Mauli and 

 the Park Floral Co. have been ".uttiug 

 Beauties, for the past month, which are 

 veiy creditable for the time of year and 

 are now finding a ready sale. Mauff is 

 also cutting a few Queen of Edgely and 

 thinks a lot of it, Benson has heeu cut- 

 ting carnations almost the whole sum- 

 mer from his new houses. They were 

 planted out in the spring on solid benches 

 and later on a new roof put over them. 

 This mode of culture has always proven 

 very satisfactory out here, the principal 

 advantage being a fairly long stem from 

 the start and a fresh-looking, good- 

 coloied flower entirely different to those 

 cut from field-grown plants at the same 

 time. 



Several of the growers have been add- 

 ing to their establishments the past sum- 

 mer and a general improvement has kept 

 the progressive ones busy. All are look- 

 ing forward to and preparing for a pros- 

 perous season. Some of the sanguine 

 ones aie going into it pretty hearty. 

 Perhaps the satisfactory business of last 

 season makes the coming one look propi- 

 tious. Hall, Davis Bros., Benson and 

 Brinkert have all nearly completed their 

 additions. The latter has increased his 

 carnation capacity by 10,000 feet and is 

 now ready for housing. 



Ben Boldt, while not adding to his 

 greenhouse capacity at Mud Lake, is mak- 

 ing considerable improvement. His new 

 wagon, while an elephant in capacity, is 

 a beauty in appearance and a credit to 

 any floral establishment. It is destined 

 to haul the bulk of his plants to the re- 

 tailers in the city and is well equipped 

 for that purpose. 



The majority of the florists who have 

 been out of the city seeking recreation 

 are now back and in harness. Mr. Valen- 

 tine has just returned from the conven- 

 tion and speaks very highly of its suc- 

 cess. 



Tlic Park Floral Co. bowling contest 

 terminated on the first of the present 

 month. R. S. Mahan was the winner of 

 the trophy, having made the highest in- 

 crease from the first of January, when the 

 contest started. Mr. Mahan is proprietor 

 of the Alpha Floral Co., a comparatively 

 new member of the profession, and an 

 enthusiast in bowling matters. He in- 

 creased his bowling average in the tour- 

 nament from 124 per game to 154. The 

 following were the successful winners by 

 months: January, Frank Fraser; Feb- 

 ruary, Harry Betz ; March, R. S. Mahan ; 

 April, Harry Betz; May, J. A. Valen- 

 tine ; June, John Berry ; July, Chas. Ben- 

 son. Great Divide. 



Eaton, O. — S. J. Galloway has bought 

 six acres of land for planting to hardy 

 herbaceous plants and ornamentals for 

 the wholesale trade.

GENTI.KMKN : — I havc been much 

 pleased with the behavior of a trial lot of 

 " Indianapolis" sent me last Spring. 



Owing to a wet season it was neces- 

 sary to house very early when the plants 

 were small: however, this treatment 

 seemed to suit them exactly for they 

 made rapid growth and have been 

 magnificent plants all winter. 



The habit is ideal, stems extra long 

 and of a nature to carry the flower 

 gracefully. 



Prom what our customers say of its 

 color and Iceeping qualities, together 

 with my experience with its blooming 

 qualities, I should recommend it as a 

 flrst-class commercial variety. I might 

 add that cuttings produced are sturdy 

 and root easily. Very truly yours, 



GEO. S. OSBORN.
