DENVER. 



} The Market 



' The outlook is bright for a good fall 

 business, as all stodk is developing in 

 £ne shape. While there is not any 

 strictly fancy stock on the market at 

 present, all is of fair quality. The time 

 will be short, however, until stock will 

 be good. 



Trade the past week has been fair, 

 and showing some gain each day, though 

 we cannot look for anything substantial 

 until -we get rid of the outdoor stock, 

 and already we notice a shortening. It 

 has been wet for a few days, and at 

 present we are having fall weather, 

 which we trust will continue, as it has 

 had a bracing effect on the market and 

 stock in general. 



Beaiutiea continue to improve, so that 

 at present there is some remarkably 

 good stock to be had. The demand is 

 strong, and Supply hardly equal to the 

 call. They run from $1 to $3 whole- 

 sale. Brides and Maids still are small 

 in flower, and short in stem, but, with 

 continued cool weather, will be much im- 

 proved. Chatenay is a little more plen- 

 tiful. Liberty and Bichmond are abun- 

 dant but not so much in demand, as it 

 is a little to early for the roses to show 

 quality. Camation.s are improving. The 

 stems are lengthening, especially in 

 whites. Enchantress and Lawson are 

 short, and not many of thein, though the 

 flowers are good, and find a ready sale. 

 Asters are not so plentiful, but there are 

 still enough to go around, and will be 

 until the frost nips them. Dahlias are 

 deteriorating in quality, and it is only 

 a question of a few days when the frost 

 will settle them also. 



Various Notes. 



Philip Scott has returned from Buf- 

 falo. 



Among the recent visitors was P. E. 

 Quinlan, of Syracuse, N. Y. 



Several events are set for next week, 

 the principal one being the banquet by 

 the Chamber of Commerce to Vice-Presi- 

 dent Fairbanks, at the Brown Palace 

 hotel. The decorations are expected to 

 be fine. 



The Florists' Bowling league has 

 called a meeting of its members to get 

 ready for the winter season. E. S. K. 



Grinnell, Ia.— Wm. Dittmer's place 

 was broken into September 19, while the 

 proprietor wafl at the express office after 

 a shipment of stock. Only about $15 

 was lost.

Watch Us Grow 



ARAtrC ARIAS, tbe best decorative plants 

 Nature produces, unr speciaUy. 



Bvery man In nusinuSB and life, to be success- 

 ful, must adopt one tblnr as his specialty and 

 that specialty, of whatever natu.eli may be. he 

 Oiust ruard, study and push to such au extent 

 that It nut only beneDts himself but he must con- 

 tinue it so every one who seeks his aid. services 

 or his article, which he adverilses or practices, 

 will share a slice of hts activity and prosperity. 

 I made the ImportatUm and cultivation of arau- 

 carias a special s>udy in my life. The figures 

 below will show my success lu business from 

 the fl'St year; by commencing witu an importa- 

 tion of 260 and now, the eleventh yea> , my Impor- 

 tation has grown up to 6,(00 (come and see it), 

 the reason beinsr that the araucarla grows yearly 

 more in favor with i he plant consuming people all 

 over the country, as a most admired decorative 

 plant for >he parlor, bed-rnom. dining and sitting- 

 rooms, stores and hotels, lawns and porches. 

 The outl) ok will be of an Importation eg at least 

 S.dOO to 10.000 in sprlug of 1M)7. To secure this vast 

 amount for 1907, I left Boboken Aug. 15, striking 

 for Belgii m, to make contracts for next year. 

 I shall also brlnir over with me at the same time 

 a large lot of choice Azalea Indica and Palms, 

 etc.. for Christmas and Easier forcin<. No 

 money will be spared to secure for n y customers 

 the cream of the Belgium greenhouses only.
