The Weekly Florists' Review. 



July 27, 1905. 



DENVER. 



The Market. 



Trade conditions the past week were 

 only fair and business has nearly reached 

 its summer level, although a large fu- 

 neral or two helped out to a large ex- 

 tent. The limited variety of stock is 

 generally of good quality, .Brides and 

 Bridesmaids of good quality are not 

 ^ overabundant, but of inferior grades 

 there is a sufficient quantity. The new 

 crop of American Beauties is very good, 

 both in bloom and stem, and has been 

 called for more than any other rose, the 

 supply being hardly equal to the de- 

 mand. 



Carnations are still plentiful and, for 

 the season of warm weather, continue 

 to be of fairly good quality, the White 

 Lawson being perhaps better than any 

 other variety; where quality is good $2 

 per hundred is the price. 



Sweet peas are splendid in quality, 

 but such a flood in quantity that were it 

 not for using them up in decorations and 

 funeral work thfv could never be dis- 

 posed of. In price they go at wholesale 

 from 10 to 20 cents per hundred. The 

 retail rate is about on a basis of 50 

 cents per hundred in various-sized 

 bunches. Quantities of Shasta daisies 

 are seen and there has been a good sale 

 for them. A few early asters are seen, 

 but not in such quantity that prices are 

 quotable. 



Various Notes. 



State Vice-President J. A. Valentine 

 is drumming up the craft throughout the 

 fltate, impressing the members with the 

 benefits to be derived by attending the 

 annual S. A. F. convention. His appeal 

 may add a few to go to "Washington. 



Mr. and Mrs. .T. A. Newby, of Logans- 

 port, Ind., spent a day in the city on 

 their return from the Portland exposi- 

 tion. 



Early closing commenced July 1 and 

 will continue to September 1, the prin-

The extreme rainy weather gave way for 

 the wave from the torrid zone, making it 

 so hot that inside planting operations had 

 to be suspended for a time. Rose planting 

 is well in hand; most have mums all 

 benched, and the quantity planted is far 

 in excess of last year. Some have their 

 violets all in, but a method largely fol- 

 lowed here by those who do not get time 

 ■for early planting is to shift the 2-inch 

 stock into .'{-inch and 4-inch pots, which 

 keeps the plants moving, thus making 

 really better plants than field-grown 

 stock. One noticeable fact is that not 

 as many violets are being grown this 

 season as last, that less Campbell are 

 planted and more Marie Louise and Im- 

 perial. Of course there will be the usual 

 quantity of singles, Princess of Wales 

 and a few Dorsetts. The Campbell vio- 

 let lias seen its day and will soon be 

 entirely discarded, as it is too light. 



There will V)e practically no building 

 this season, unless rebuilding hail-dam- 

 aged structures and making necessary re- 

 pairs. Eli Cross had intended to build 

 a large carnation house, and had the glass 

 bought, but has sold it all. 

 . Miss Livingstone, one of Crabb & 

 Hunter's office girls, is building a house 

 about 30x7.^ feet and is going into violet

Cross and Crabb & Hunter are both 

 planting carnations; stock is fine. Law- 

 son will be the main pink in dark ; Morn- 

 ing Glory in light pink. In white the 

 honors will be divided as some like Peru 

 liest, others Flora Hill and Glacier, while 

 Crabb & Hunter will make Boston Mar- 

 ket their leader. When it comes to red, 

 there is a wide diversity of opinion. 

 Bruins Slot lost most of liis Crane from 

 stem rot and says he won't grow it an3c 

 more. Henry Smith has oM-time Gar- 

 field and Estelle. The Grand Rapids 

 Floral Co. is not bothered so much with 

 stem rot and still swears by Crane. Crabb 

 & Hunter will have Crane and Crusader. 

 All are trying Flamingo and Cardinal, 

 but on a small scale. G. F. C.
