DENVER. 



Easter Trade. 



Easter business was the most satis- 

 factory in our experience. The weather 

 was ideal, wliich alone was needed for 

 the record-breaking trade that was en- 

 joyed by everyone. The sales increased 

 more on blooming plants than on out 

 stock, the prices not being any higher on 

 account of it. Lilies were by far the 

 most popular plants and every store was 

 well stocked with them, also with hy- 

 drangeas, azaleas, Crimson Eamblers, 

 etc. Azaleas and hydrangeas did not ap- 

 pear to be as popular as formerly and 

 some of the stores report having some 

 left. Quite a few Baby Eamblers were 

 seen and sold well. Spiraeas were good. 



In cut flowers, while there was a very 

 good market, no remarkable rise in 

 prices occurred. Roses did not move 

 very freely. Carnations were most 

 sought after. The prices were not pro- 

 hibitive, ranging from 75 cents to $1..50 

 per dozen, and all were sold. Best Beau- 

 ties did not move as freely as was ex- 

 pected and did not make over $12 to $15 

 retail. A good medium grade, however, 

 was in demand. Eichmond and Liberty 

 sold well, while Bride, Maid and Chate- 

 nay made no advance at all and there 

 was plenty to satisfy the demand. Vio- 

 lets were a little scarce, the best stock 

 retailing for $2 per hundred. Sweet 

 peas were snapped up quickly, the best 

 selling at $1.50 per hundred. 



Church decorations were not excep- 

 tional. St. John's Episcopal and Trin- 

 ity had the most elaborate displays. 



Various Notes. 



N. A. Benson is to build a new house 

 50x125 for carnations. 



The city gave away 25,000 trees for 

 planting on Arbor day. They were much 

 sought after. 



The Florists' Bowling League closed 

 its season a week ago with an exciting 

 finish, there being three teams tied for 

 first place. Team No. 4 won out, with 

 only ten pins to spare. The league was 

 a success and much interest was shown 

 through the season. Nearly $100 is in 

 the treasury for prizes. 



The Park Floral Co. had ten wagons 

 loaded with plants, and one automobile 

 with cut flowers, ready to start out at 

 eight o'clock Easter morning. 



Emil Glauber, of Montclair, is around 

 again after being laid up several weeks 

 with a broken rib. E. S. K. 



Florence, Neb. — George Sorensen is 

 preparing to add two more houses to his 

 range of five. The new ones are to be 

 20x50 each.
