DENVER. 



The Market. 



Colorado climate at this time of year 

 is very notional and climatic influences, 

 to a great extent, regulate the demand 

 for and values of flowers. Up to Octo- 

 ber 18 the weather has been very favor- 

 able to the production of outdoor flow- 

 ers and such material has been more 

 beautiful than at earlier stages of the 

 summer; consequently the sale of green- 

 house stuff has been rather slow and the 

 supply, except carnations, has been far 

 in excess of the demand. The sale of 

 cut mums up to date has been very sat- 

 isfactory to some of the dealers who 

 have been fortunate enough to dispose of 

 their Robinsons, Monrovias and other 

 early varieties long before they were 

 anywhere near developed. Aspect of 

 greenhouse and other favorable condi- 

 tions have enabled some growers to 

 clean out their whole crop of early varie- 

 ties before others think of starting to 

 cut the same varieties. True, such cuts 

 were of that soft character that, if not 

 disposed of at once by the retailer, are 

 a great loss to him and, if sold, a great 

 disappointment to his patrons, but the 

 grower is satisfied, as the flowers brought 

 as good prices in this condition as the 

 perfect flowers will at a later date, 

 when there is a surplus. 



Variotts Notes. 



The Park Floral Co. has a mum house 

 which is very promising. The new pink, 

 Wm. Duckham, is behaving itself very 

 well, sturdy growth with no inclination 

 to weaken at the neck or sacrifice its 

 equilibrium for the sake of the blossom. 

 Perhaps some will think it is too stiff 

 in growth. Its compact growth and 

 dense foliage would lead one to hope 

 for a good pot variety and fill a want 

 long felt. 



Many of the florists out here have 

 been allowing themselves to think that 

 Glory of Pacific was all right, which it 

 is as far as earliness is concerned, but 

 its familiarity has bred contempt and 

 many have concluded to banish it. Ben 

 Boldt 's plants of this variety were 

 magnificent, but color and form of flow- 

 er were against them. 



Pot mums are now occupying a large 

 portion of the growers' attention and 

 prominent positions in the retailers 

 stores. Considering the character of the 

 stock and the large supply on hand, the 

 prospects for a profitable and quick 

 clean-up are not very encouraging. 

 Quality has been sacrificed for quantity 

 and all interested, from the grower to 

 the retailer, will have to suffer the con- 

 sequences. 



Lilium speciosum, both album and 

 rubrum, has been grown here for several 

 years as a pot plant with very satisfac- 

 tory results, more for cut flowers than 

 otherwise. Flowering at a time when 

 choice flowers are scarce makes them of 

 special value for decorations and other 

 work. The smaller flowers make up 

 nicely into bouquets for bridal parties. 

 They are much admired on account of 

 their orchid-like appearance. 



Mahler is now furnishing the market 

 with fair violets, considering the un- 

 favorable weather we have had. 



Fred Hall is supplying the retailers 

 with a fine lot of Libertiep, and Scott 

 considers them the best roses of this 

 type and color on the market.
