ELMSFORD, N. Y. 



A new range of glass in course of 

 erection here is for Scott Bros., the firm 

 being composed of the well-known and 

 capable "William and James T. Scott. 

 They are erecting a modern range of 

 greenhouses, and will make a specialty 

 of grafted roses, up-to-date carnations, 

 gardenias and fine foliage plants, also 

 handling a general line of bedding and 

 other plants. Their nursery contains 

 thirty acres of good land and will be 

 gradually stocked with fine evergreen 

 and deciduous trees, and they will also 

 grow an up-to-date collection of herba- 

 ceous plants. 



William Scott has been superintendent 

 on the Eastman estate at Tarrytown for 

 the past twelve years, and the stock he 

 has grown has received high honors on 

 the exhibition table. He will devote the 

 whole of his time to the growing depart- 

 ment. 



James T. Scott has been employed for 

 the past two and a half years as travel- 

 ing salesman by the F. B. Pierson Co., 

 Tarrytown, and in the landscape depart- 

 ment, and will continue in the same lines. 

 It is a good team and one likely to make 

 a conspicuous success. 



DENVER. 



State of Trade. 



The regular summer dullness is now 

 on, although there has not been much 

 complaint as yet. In fact, last week all 

 the stores reported a fairly good busi- 

 ness in the cut flower line. General busi- 

 ness being good in Denver, the florists 

 come in for their share. The Elks' hold- 

 ing their convention here has caused 

 much money to be spent for decorations. 

 The city has taken on a gala appearance. 



The Grand Army decorations last year 

 were elaborate, but they do not com- 

 pare with what are now up. There are 

 many prizes given for store and resi- 

 dence decorations, the flower stores 

 working hard for some of them, and 

 some of their artists helping out other 

 lines. 



Stock is coming in fairly well. Many 

 roses have a parched foliage and are 

 mildewed. This is particularly true of 

 Bride and Maid, as some fine Chatenay 

 are seen. Beauties still are fine with 

 some growers and sell well. 



Carnations, while abundant, are poor, 

 causing a drop in prices. Some good 

 Lawson and Enchantress are seen, white 

 perhaps being the poorest. 



Sweet peas are now coming in quan- 

 tities and not many have gone into the 

 waste bag. The ruling price for first- 

 class stock is 25 cents per hundred. 

 Other outdoor flowers, such as daisies.

Various Notes. 



One of the most fashionable weddings 

 which ever took place in Denver was 

 the Hughes-Morris ceremony, July 14. 

 The chapter-house of St. John's cathe- 

 dral was never more elaborately decor- 

 ated. It was like a garden. At i»ter- 

 vals down the center aisle were bay 

 trees. Tied at the ends of the pews and 

 on the altar were clusters of tiger lilies.* 

 The posts, the chancel and the choir 

 were wound and festooned with ropes of 

 evergreens, and quantities of ferns and 

 palms were used. The bride's bouquet 

 was of valley and white orchids. The 

 reception which followed was held on 

 tbe beautiful grounds which surround 

 the Hughes residence. Bay trees and 

 palms were added to the shrubs out- 

 doors. The veranda resembled a tropi- 

 cal garden. Quantities of asparagus were 

 used in the house. As the bridal couple 

 departed, they were showered with quan- 

 tities of rose leaves, which were used 

 instead of rice. Their private car had 

 been elaborately decorated with flow- 

 ers and looked like a rose garden. The 

 work was by B. E. Gillis, of the Park 

 Floral Co. 



All the large stores are closing at 

 6:30 p. m. during July and August, and 

 at noon on Sunday. 



We expect to see several members of 

 the craft here this week, as there are 

 numbers coming from the west who are
