DENVER. 



State of Business. 



There has been no material change in 

 the market since last writing. If any, 

 the tone of the market is better. Prices 

 are running about the same, stock is in 

 good condition and this, coupled with a 

 fairly good demand, makes it a pleasure 

 to do business. The supply is not abun- 

 dant, though sufficiently large to meet all 

 requirements, the bulk of the business 

 being caused by the demand for many 

 funerals. 



Beauties are in pretty good crop and 

 in fine shape. Brides and Maids are in 

 fair crop, with just about enough to go 

 around; quality is fine. Richmond is in 

 good cut. Carnations have been in good 

 demand and moving lively; if the quality 

 holds, there will be no complaint. Vio- 

 lets are excellent and sell well. Romans, 

 narcissi and valley are in good demand 

 and not any too plentiful. A few tulips 

 are coming in, but stems are short as 

 yet, making them hard to sell. Daffodils 

 and jonquils are to be had, but not in 

 any large quantities; however, they soon 

 will be quite a factor in the business. 



Various Notes. 



H. Bayersdorfer and wife, of Phila- 

 delphia, were in the city a few days last 

 week on their way to the Pacific coast. 

 Another visitor last week was William 

 D^ckham, of New Jersey, who has min- 

 ing interests located at Idaho Springs in 

 this state. 



We find the Review a great help in 

 both our flower and vegetable depart- 

 ments. — S. H. Mabis, McMinnville, Ore.
