The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Mat 14, 1008. 



DENVER. 



State of Trade. 



The May business compares favorably 

 with last year, although stock is more 

 plentiful this year than last, and the 

 outlook for Decoration day is good. While 

 the frost kjlled all the snowballs, lilacs 

 and outdoor flowers, the call for carna- 

 tions is likely to be almost as great as 

 at Easter time, with just as good prices. 

 And at this writing they are plentiful, 

 with prices low. 



The rose market shows no change, for 

 stock is abundant. Beauties, especially 

 the long-stemmed ones, are fine and sell 

 well. The weatiier has been somewhat 

 cool and, with a snow storm last week, 

 was a little unfavorable, but apparently 

 it did not lessen the crop materially. 



Sweet peas are plentiful and are sell- 

 ing well at from 35 to 50 cents per 

 hundred. Violets are about over, and 

 what few are seen are small and short- 

 stemmed. The bedding-plant men are 

 now very busy. 



Various Notes. 



One of the Denver papers in offering 

 many prizes to its readers for attractive 

 grounds and yards, porches, window- 

 boxes and other decorative gardening ef- 

 fects. This paper also prints some ex- 

 cellent articles on gardening subjects. 



The Scott Floral Co. will move from 

 the present location to 1506 Broadway 

 June 1. 



C. J. Davis, on Fifteenth street, dis- 

 continues his store June 10. He has 

 rented his greenhouses on Lowell boule- 

 vard to C. A. Benson. 



The Park Floral Co. is showing some 

 of the beautiful Lady Gay rose, which 

 is becoming exceedingly popular as a 

 market plant. 



(.'ape jasmine is now on the market 

 and looks fairly good, being shipped in 

 from Texas. The supply apparently ia 

 abundant and will be until Decoration 

 day. E. S. K. 



Worcester, ^Iass. — Among the most 

 interesting displays at the last exhibi- 

 tion of the Worcester County Horticul- 

 tural Society was an exhibit of six plants 

 of Salvia Zurich, by H. F. A. Lange. 

 This plant was a decided novelty to most 

 of the visitors and attracted much at- 

 tention.
