The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



June 22, 1905. 



DE^fVER, 



The Market. 



Business the past week has been fair 

 for this time of the year and receipts 

 have been very large. This was not un- 

 expected, as the season is at hand when 

 such conditions usually prevail. Outdoor 

 roses are commencing to come in and will 

 soon be plentiful. There are large cuts 

 of carnations and the quality in general 

 is right, although there is much of in- 

 ferior quality. Some of them bring 75 

 cents per dozen, retail, while the common 

 price is 35 and 50 cents. There is a big 

 supply of sweet peas and good stock sells 

 fairly well. Lavender, pink and white 

 have first call. Peonies are very plenti- 

 ful and many retailers are using them 

 freely for window display. The hot 

 weather affects the American Beauty 

 and, while there is stili some select stock, 

 the most of them are poor. 



Quite a number of social affairs took 

 place last week, especially the University 

 Club ball, there being quite a number of 

 dinners given before the dance, which 

 called for quite a lot of first-class stock, 

 such as Beauties, peonies and sweet peas. 



Various Notes. 



The Park Floral Co. is erecting three 

 connected houses, each 17x50, using the 

 King steel gutter, with glass 18x18. 

 The range is to be planted with carna- 

 tions in solid beds. 



E. J. Beynolds, of the Scott Floral 

 Co., is spending his vacation, at Grand 

 Lake, Colo. 



D. S. Grimes, of D. S. Grimes & Son, 

 florists, and of Fairview Avenue Nur- 

 sery, is very low with gangrene at the 

 Homeopathic Hospital. They report 

 there is no hope for his recovery. 



One of the attractions along the Mof- 

 fat railroad is the flowers that bloom by 

 the acre along the tracks. The white and 

 yellow primrose, Mariposa lily and other 

 beautiful blooms are springing up from 

 the sod in large numbers, some of t&em 

 growing up through the snow. One of 

 the most beautiful sights of the summer 

 in the mountains is to see the flowers that 

 dot the sunny slopes of the hills as far 

 as the eye can reach. The beautiful blue 

 columbine, the Colorado state flower, is 

 more plentiful than ever before. This 

 road runs a flower excursion every Sun- 

 day and many of the passengers are 

 loaded with huge armfuls of these beau- 

 tiful mountain flowers. Ek S. K. 



GRAND RAPIDS. VOCH, 



This city has been visited by another 

 storm, hail and rain, regular cloud bursts, 

 carrying ruin and destruction in its path, 

 damaging railroads, causing washouts 

 and flooding the west side of Grand Rap- 

 ids for ten days. Schools were closed, 

 factories stopped running and on the 

 main streets basement stores hastily 

 moved out when the water rushed in. For 

 a week, unless over the Detroit division 

 of the Michigan Central, or the G. E. 

 & I. south, no express could be moved, as 

 the roads were all tied up with wash- 

 outs, entailing heavy losses on the grow- 

 ers, who were unable to fill out-of-towu 

 orders. Henry Smith was probably the 

 heaviest shipping loser, while Cross, 

 Strong, Chadwick and others were also 

 unable to fill shipping orders. Crabb 

 & Hunter suffered the heaviest on this 

 occasion. At the Lake plant, Silver 

 Creek backed up and flooded about ten 

 acres of their farm, taking in a portion"

of their carnation patch, about three 

 acres, entailing a loss of about $700 on 

 drowned-out stock and their loss on ship- 

 ping orders about $300, making a net 

 loss of $1,000. The weather has turned 

 very hot and everything is suffering in 

 consequence. 



A large trade was done in bedding 

 stock, which are now sold out, and the 

 tearing down and rebuilding of benches 

 preparatory to planting mums and roses 

 is going merrily along. Mildew is in evi- 

 dence on the roses, as firing has ceased 

 and the changeable weather is favorable 

 for mildew. Business continues good, 

 particularly outside shipping, and roses 

 are scarce, with carnations in large sup- 

 ply. 



Max Goeble was held up by footpads 

 at the lake, head smashed, gold watch 

 and $15 in money taken. G. F. C.
