resulted in a reception at the office of 

 the Park Floral Co. About thirty of the 

 Denver growers and store men attended 

 to extend greetings to the visitors. At 

 the request of Mr. Valentine, Messrs. 

 Totty and Herrington spoke to those as- 

 sembleij upon new chrysanthemums and 

 the best methods of growing them. "Will- 

 iam Duckham said a few words for the 

 Chrysanthemum Society of America, 

 which resulted in the course of the eve- 

 ning in securing several new members. 

 Paul Dailledouze told of some of the 

 newer carnations and how they were be- 

 having where he had seen them. Eefresh- 

 ments were tiien served and the crowd 

 mingled in an informal manner, which 

 enabled all the local men to meet the vis- 

 itors and become better acquainted. It 

 was an occasion that was greatly enjoyed 

 by local florists, who seldom have the 

 pleasure of meeting so many growers of 

 such enviable reputation. Most of the 

 visitors returned from the mountains on 

 Wednesday and departed for home on 

 the Burlington. Paul and Henry Dail 

 ledouze remained a few days longer w' 

 Mr. Valentine and took the trip to 

 rado Springs and to the Cripple/Oreek 

 mining district. At Colorado ^rin^js-' 

 they were royally entertained by ybn- H, 

 Evans, who took them to Glen Eyrie, 

 the Garden of the Gods, and Manitou, 

 and later entertained the visitors and a 

 few others at dinner at the Antlers 

 hotel. Mr. Evans was voted the prince 

 of entertainers. 



The Glen Eyrie estate of General 

 Palmer is in charge of Mr. Fohn, for- 

 merly of Hartford, and shows that he 

 has made marked progress in the few 

 months he has been in charge. A new 



park which is being improved in Colorado 

 Springs by General Palmer is under the 

 supervision of John Berry, formerly of 

 Denver. This work deserves extended 

 mention, but lack of space forbids. 



The one important event in society this 

 week is the Charity ball, on Thursday 

 evening. The decorations will be as 

 elaborate as in former years and is in 

 the hands of the Park Floral Co. 



Emil Glauber, of the Montclair Green- 

 houses, is cutting some fine long-stemmed 

 Enchantress, also some excellent chry- 

 santhemums. E. S. K.

The Market 



Business has fallen off as compared 

 with a week ago. There were a number 

 of social functions, wedding and some 

 funeral work reported. Next week will 

 be Thanksgiving, and an increase in 

 business is looked for and we hope that 

 it will be large enough to average up a 



)()d business for the month. 



'The wholesale houses are all loaded up 

 'with good stock of all kinds, with prices 

 rather low on roses and second-class 

 chrysanthemums. In roses we see some 

 fine stock of Bride, Maid, Eichmond, 

 Golden Gate and Ivory, also a fair quan- 

 tity of Beauties. Carnations, too, have 

 become plentiful in all grades, and for 

 once this season there were more in the 

 market than the demand called for. Vio- 

 lets are not overplentiful and are selling 

 clean at 60 cents per hundred. Extra 

 good lily of the valley is now to be had. 

 Chrysanthemums are still arriving in lots 

 too many for the demand. Extra choice 



blooms sell well. Other grades are gen- 

 erally left over. The pink sorts are at a 

 standstill. There are plenty of good 

 smilax and other greens. 



Variou* Notes. 



During last week the following gen- 

 tlemen called on the trade: William W. 

 Abrahamson, representing E. H. Hunt, 

 of Chicago; B. Eschner, of M. Rice & 

 Co., Philadelphia; S. S. Skidelsky, of 

 Philadelphia; Henry Johan, of Collins- 

 ville, and J. F. Ammann, of Edwards- 

 ville. Each gentlemen is sending some 

 extra fine stock to the market. 



Mrs. Himmer, wife of John Himmer, 

 of Himmer Bros., died last week, leaving 

 a large family. Mr. Himmer has the 

 sympathy of the trade. 



George Angcrmueller was taken ill at 

 the store last Saturday and was taken 

 home, where he is resting easily, and will 

 be out by the end of the week to attend 

 to business. 



Mrs. Ostertag has opened the store at 

 Grand avenue and Olive street formerly 

 occupied by her daughter Mary. 



The trustees have outlined for the next 

 meeting of the club, December 13, two 

 important discussions and have assigned 

 them as follows: The first one on "How 

 to Decorate a Retail Store for the Christ- 

 mas Holidays," by Theodore Miller; the 

 second one on "Growing Orchids and 

 Other Varieties of Choice Plants," by 

 H. G. Pring, of the Missouri Botanical 

 Garden. President Irish will call an 

 officers' meeting next week to outline 

 work for each meeting of next year. 



All the week large crowds visited the 

 free chrysanthemum show given at the 

 Missouri Botanical Garden. The show
