The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



March 26, 1008. 



DENVER. 



The Market 



The market last week was in a deplora- 

 ble conditiou, everyone having Howers to 

 burn, as it were. The quantity of flowers 

 coming in, especially roses and carna- 

 tions, has never been equaled at this time 

 of the year and prices were below those 

 of any previous March, one of the grow- 

 ers selling carnations as low as $7.5U per 

 thousand. Some retailers sold them for 

 25 cents per dozen, but reported they did 

 not sell any more in number than if they 

 had asked 50 and 75 cents per dozen. 

 White roses and carnations moved fairly 

 well for dyeing purposes for St. Pat- 

 rick's day, with a little higher price than 

 could be obtained for colored stock. 



American Beauties are coming heavily 

 and the long-stemmed stock is of excel- 

 lent grade, while the short-stemmed has 

 improved little. The demand for Brides 

 has been fairly good on account of the 

 funeral work. Maid and C'hatenay are 

 exceptionally fine for this time of the 

 year and can be had in any quantity, 

 prices of all varieties being at rock bot- 

 tom. 



i^Jaster lilies are .just coming^ in and as 

 yet are not abundant, out the outlook is 

 good for a large supply. Violets are 

 good and selling at a low figure in some 

 places, but the selects still maintain their 

 price and quality, while singles are be- 

 ginning to lessen in quantity and will 

 soon be gone. Ail kinds of bulbous stock 

 is plentiiul and selling well, prices not 

 being exorbitant. 



Various Notes. 



.1. A. Valentine is in Chicago for the 

 rose show. 



The bowling league finished its sched- 

 ule Monday evening. Winners of prizes 

 will be announced later. 



The Denver Floral ("o. is t/ie name of 

 u new store which opened on Sixteenth 

 street last week. K. S. K. 



COHOES, N. Y.— Carpenter & Co. say 

 that at the rate they are selling their 

 metallic tie for use in staking bulbous 

 stock, the cordage trust must feel the 

 effect in decreased sales of twine. At any 

 rate, it is a fact that prices are lower on 

 twine, for the first time in two or three 

 years. 



Ci.KVEi.A.ND, O. — Attorney .1. A. Ma- 

 thews has filed an apj)licatio'ii in the pro- 

 bate court to be appointed administrator 

 of the estate of J. M. Casser. He esti- 

 mates the value of the estate to be .$25(1,- 

 000. Mathews says that Mr. Casser in 

 December, 1907. tried to make a will, but 

 was of unsound mind and remained so 

 until his death. 



Albany, N. Y.— Amos J-\ Balfoort, 

 though one of the vonngest florists in 

 the city, is thoroughly exi)erienced, hav- 

 ing been connecte<l with the trade since 

 early boyhood, and he has an increasing 

 share of patronage. Besides his three 

 greenhouses, he has ii store, which is lo- 

 cated at 121 Xortherii boulevard.

is outselling Eochantress in this market. It sells for the same 

 price over the retail counter, and our store-men call for it in 

 preference. Isn't that enough evidence of its selling qualities ? 

 For the grower it is the most profitable light pink that has 

 ever come to our notice. It is free and early, and every bloom 

 is on a good stem and salable. We are shipping fine cuttings 

 now and shall be pleased to serve you. 



$12.00 PER 100) $100.00 PER 1000. 

 You make so mistake in buying this variety. We can also supply fine, strong 

 cuttings of all the leading varieties in quantity. Write ui.
