' DENVER. 



The Market 



The weather has been so uncertain the 

 past two weeks that it might b« said it 

 was unfavorable for the flower buyer. 

 Still no complaint has been heard from 

 the -retailers. There has been no scar- 

 city of stock, and prices remain atxmt 

 normal. Carnations are in plentiful sup- 

 ply with the exception of red. They re- 

 tail for from 50 cents to $1.50 per dozen, 

 but these prices are likely to advance 

 slightly for Decoration day, as the sup- 

 ply is then always short of the demand. 

 American Beauties are coming in quan- 

 tity and the quality good. Long stems 

 bring $6 to $7 per dozen, while the 

 shorter and medium lengths can be had 

 at from $2 to $5. The receipts of 

 Brides and Maids have been rather larg- 

 er than the requirements, the white stock 

 cleaning up perhaps better on account of 

 the demand for funeral material. A very 

 large stock of Liberty is being cut and 

 quality is exceptionally fine. Sweet 

 peas are plentiful and of good quality 

 and color. 



Owing to the exceptionally cold spring 

 it is almost impossible to make any an- 

 nouncement on the part of the retailers, 

 regarding the flower supply for Decora- 

 tion day. Other than roses and carna- 

 tions, the prospect is that there will be 

 lilacs and snowballs. If the weather is 

 warm red peonies will be obtainable, but 

 the supply of pink and white is doubt- 

 ful. 



Banquet Decoration. 



The principal event of the week was 

 the banquet tendered to President Roose- 

 velt on his way east after his hunting 

 trip in this state. It was held in the 

 Brown Palace Hotel and was an elab- 

 orate aflFair. About 500 covers were laid. 

 The hotel was elaborately decorated with 

 bunting and flags by the Daniels & Fish- 

 er Stores Co. The decorations on the 

 tables were by the Park Floral Co. and 

 consisted of long Beauties in tall vases 

 and in the center of the lateral table? 

 were mounds of Lawson carnations. 

 Apple blossoms were used on the chan- 

 deliers. The effect as a whole was most 

 pleasing and evoked much favorable 

 comment. The President complimented 

 the guests by delivering a memorable ad- 

 dress in which he outlined what would 

 be the policy of the administration re- 

 garding railroad legislation. The floral 

 craft was represented at the banquet by 

 Mr. Valentine, who reports that the 

 President's address was received with the 

 greatest enthusiasm. 



Various Notes. 



Elitch'g Gardens, a famous resort, is 

 being greatly improved for its opening 

 May 28. One of the best features will be 

 the special floral decorations in honor of 

 the various bodies which hold national 

 conventions in Denver this year. There 

 will be special designs for the Grand 

 Army, the Epworth League, the electric 

 light men, and all other organizations. 

 More than 60,000 plants will be used in 

 the construction of these emblematical 

 beds. The floral and electrical display 

 will be larger and better than ever, 

 which is saying a good deal. 



The Denver business men's excursion 

 to Boise City, Idaho, was a success, cov- 

 ering over 2,100 miles, visiting some
