Schoos and helps Mr. Francis with the 

 selling during the morning rush, is a 

 relative of Amelia Schafer, whose stock 

 they handle, and also of John Assa. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. reports a 

 good crop of roses on at New Castle. 



J. A. Budlong's people thought well 

 of Carnation Winona as shown at the 

 Coliseum. 



Louis Wittbold, of the George Witt- 

 bold Co., has perfected a new plant stand 

 for decorative purposes. 



George Manos, whose stand is in the 

 Union depot, says that sales of chrysan- 

 themums during the last week have been 

 exceptionally large. He has an artistic 

 window decorated with pink, yellow and 

 white varieties. 



DENVER. 



The Market. . 



Chrysanthemums now occupy the cen- 

 ter of the stage and are the most im- 

 portant factor at this time. They have 

 been in good supply. Some fine stock is 

 to he had, but it looks as if there might 

 be a shortage in the finer grades for 

 Thanksgiving. Prices range from $1 to 

 $2 per dozen, some of the fancies bring- 

 ing a higher price. The chrysanthemums 

 do not seem to interfere to any great ex- 

 tent with the sale of roses and carna- 

 tions, all of which seem to move at fair 

 prices, roses perhaps being more plenti- 

 ful and quality good. Carnations have 

 improved and are now nearing the qual- 

 ity of the stock that it is usual to dis- 

 play at this time of the year. Many 

 new varieties are noticed, but only a few 

 have as yet outshone the old varieties. 

 The Park Floral Co. is cutting some es- 

 pecially fine red carnations, Eobt. Craig 

 and Victory, and a good supply of ex- 

 cellent Enchantress is being received 

 from various sources. Violets are show- 

 ing improved color and length of stem, 

 most of them being of really excellent 

 quality, with prices ranging from 50 

 cents to $1 per hundred. 



Various Notes. 



The Alpha Floral Co. opened its new 

 store November 16 in the new Empire 

 Building, on Sixteenth street, in the 

 place the old Alpha store was before the 

 building was torn down. They had a 

 fine showing of cut flowers, chrysanthe- 

 mums predominating. The new store is 

 artistic. The walls are hung in pretty 

 green paper, which forms an effective 

 background to the flowers, and along one 

 side are mirrors running the full length. 



The "Japana" Flower Bolder 



k \j I 



nS especially designed to be used in 

 open bowls, etc. It is made of solid 

 glass with numerous holes which hold 

 the flowers in an upright position and 

 insure a perfect circulation for the water, 

 and being made of glass, does not show 

 when in use. Made in three sizes: 

 4>^-in,, 50c; 3>^-in., 35c; tyi'm, 2Sc.

The ''Anglais" Table Decoration 



JHE "ANGLAIS" Table Deco- 



ration is especially designed 



for a simple and practical method 

 of artistic table decoration. Being 

 made up of sections, it is easily 

 adapted to any desired form and 

 to any size and shape of table. It 

 is composed of one crescent and 

 one rectangular vase of glass $}i

Back of the store is a palm room where 

 all kinds of potted plants were on exhi- 

 bition, baskets of begonias hung from 

 the ceiling and formed a bower. Mr. 

 and Mrs. Mahan are to be congratulated 

 on their new store. 



A number of eastern florists returned 

 from the Chicago show with J. A. Valen- 

 tine. Henry and Paul Dailledouze, of 

 Flatbush, N. Y., came by previous ar- 



rangement, hut a number of others came 

 to investigate the merits of a mining 

 project in which they were interested. 

 These include Arthur Herrington, C. H. 

 Totty, William Duckham, of Madison, N. 

 J.; K. Vince, of Morristown, N. J., and 

 Robert Laurie, of Providence. The trip 

 was a hurried one and only provided for 

 a stay of one night in Denver, so Mr. 

 Valentine telegraphed instructions which
