DENVER. 



The Market. 



Decoration day trade was exception- 

 ally brisk this year; in fact, better than 

 for several years past. Denver has never 

 before observed it with such a unanimity 

 of sentiment. Throughout the state also 

 it was fittingly observed, making an ex- 

 ceptional demand for flowers from out- 

 of-town customers. Sunday was the 

 busy day for the shipping trade, which 

 all the houses enjoyed, and with some of 

 them it necessitated some hustling until 

 late into the night. 



Prices stiffened on some lines, al- 

 though the increase was not as much as 

 the demand seemed to warrant. Every 

 dealer was practically sold out, the larger 

 stores closing in the early morning of 

 Decoration day. 



Owing to the unfavorable weather be- 

 fore, there was not as large a supply of 

 peonies, lilac, snowballs, etc., as usual 

 and otner flowers, while plentiful, were 

 not equal to the demand. The principal 

 shortage developed in carnations and it 

 was difficult to supply the needs, the 

 prices not being prohibitive. From 75 

 cents to $1.50 per dozen were the ruling 

 rates. There was a good supply of Brides 

 but not so many Maids. Liberties were 

 fairly plentiful. While Beauties sold 

 well, it was noticeable that the demand 

 was for carnations, and roses did not 

 move freely until the buyers found there 

 were no carnations to be had. Sweet 

 peas were also plentiful and sold well, 

 especially the white. There was a large 

 supply of odds and ends which were 

 all cleaned up. Cape jasmine arrived in 

 large quantities but was not in great de- 

 mand. 



Various Notes. 



There are a considerable number of 

 coming June weddings and these and the 

 commencement exercises of the various 

 schools and colleges will stir up some 

 business for a week or two. 



On May 27, one of the most severe hail 

 storms that have visited this locality for 

 several years, passed over the northwest- 

 ern part of the city, damaging the green- 

 houses of Ben Boldt at Mud Lake very 

 severely, there being over 2,500 panes of 

 glass broken, and damaging stock that 

 was ready for Decoration day, as well as 

 8,000 carnations and 8,000 peony plants 

 outside. He estimates his loss at $2,000.

In the town of Lafayette the Cannon 

 Floral & Seed Co. suffered a loss. 

 Every window facing the west was brok- 

 en and several hundred dollars' worth of 

 cut flowers which were ready for Decora- 

 tion day purposes were entirely de- 

 stroyed. 



One of the most brilliant affairs of 

 the season was the McCourt ball at the 

 Adams Hotel, June 1, the decorations be- 

 ing elaborate. Myriads of incandescent 

 lights gleamed among palms, ferns, deli- 

 cate pink honeysuckle vinas and south- 

 ern smilax. Clusters of bridal wreath, 

 pink roses and peonies gave color to the 

 scene. Yellow-coated song birds perched 

 in branches of young trees vied with the 

 orchestra in making sweet music for the 

 dances. The work was done by A. H. 

 Bush, of the Daniels & Fisher Stores Co. 



Martin Reukauf, representing H. Bay- 

 ersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, was 

 calling on the trade the past week. 



The fishing season opened June 1 and 

 we noticed some of the craft who are ex-
