The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JULX 16, 1908. 



DENVER. 



The Market 



Trade has not been at all bad for the 

 two weeks in July. The first week wit- 

 nessed a better trade and a better re- 

 turn for money than the same week last 

 year. During the last week we have had 

 the national democratic convention and 

 there was an appreciable increase in the 

 floral line. While the crowd was not as 

 large as was expected, those who were 

 here spent some money and the florists 

 got their share, or will as soon as it gets 

 circulated around. There were several 

 dinners, and medium sized decorations 

 were the rule, while several speakers at 

 the convention were presented with good 

 sized bouquets. 



The auditorium where the convention 

 was held was well decorated, the work 

 being done by Mr. Bush, of Daniels & 

 Fisher. 



Stock is somewhat scarce, so the retail- 

 er is generally cleaned up at night. 

 Eoses are nearly at their lowest ebb, 

 as concerns quality, but a steady im- 

 provement is looked for from now on. 

 American Beauties were, perhaps, the*i 

 best sellers last week, but the quantity . 

 was limited, one of the larger stores 

 being obliged to have some shipped in on 

 account of the great demand. Carnations 

 are still coming in fair quantity, but 

 the quality is not so good, the Red Vic- 

 tory and White Enchantress being the 

 best of any grade. 



Sweet peas are now coming in quan- 

 tity from the outside; hence, the price 

 has tumbled, but the call has been good, 

 the ruling price being from 25 cents to 

 35 cents per hundred. A few asters have 

 appeared, but they are not of the quality 

 as yet that attracts much attention. 

 Gypsophila is now seen in quantities in 

 all the stores. Shasta daisies are also 

 fairly abundant. E. S. K. 



LocKPOET, N. Y. — Thomas Mansfield 

 has an interesting hobby, which furnishes 

 him with profit as well as recreation. He 

 has twenty-two hives of bees, which he 

 understands perfectly, and he can talk 

 in an entertaining way about their habits, 

 peculiarities, etc. Mr. Mansfield's houses 

 are looking fine and he reports having 

 bad a good bedding plant business. 



RiDGEFlELD, CONN. — George I. Haight 

 has closed his place of business on West 

 Lane. The greenhouses and other build- 

 ings have all been removed, and Mr. 

 Haight will be kept busy this summer 

 superintending the erection of his green- 

 houses on Danbury avenue. He expects 

 to resume business early in September.
