76 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



October 8, 1908. 



DENVER. 



State of Business. 



The last two weeks have been quiet in 

 the retail flower business, but with the 

 coming cooler weather it is hoped that 

 there will be a steady improvement in 

 market conditions. 



Roses are fairly good, considering the 

 warm weather we have been having. Up 

 to September 25 the weather was un- 

 usually warm for that month, but at that 

 date a frost and a little snow about 

 put an end to outdoor flowers. 



Carnations are increasing in size of 

 flower and length of stem. Asters are 

 about over with and such as are left are 

 of inferior quality. A few violets have 

 made their appearance, but are soft and 

 short of stem. They seem, however, to 

 supply a demand which comes from those 

 customers who like to call for stock out 

 of season. 



Variottt Notes. 



The interest of the public in flowers 

 has been kept up by the horticultural 

 exhibitions which have been going on 

 both at the Interstate Fair and Exposi- 

 tion, held in Denver, and at the State 

 Fair, held at Pueblo. The exhibits were 

 good and arranged with the greatest 

 skill, and they were all of excellent qual- 

 ity. The principal prize winners at the 

 Denver show were the Park Floral Co., 

 the Colorado Springs Floral Co., Daniels 

 & Fisher, Alpha Floral^ Co., Goeschel & 

 "Wood and H. J. Berry. 



J. A. Valentine and party have re- 

 turned from a wagon trip through the 

 Eocky Mountains. 



Mrs. Scott, of the Scott Floral Co., 

 has returned from Buffalo. 



The Elitch-Long Greenhouses are about 

 to open a wholesale department on 

 Champa street. 



G. H. Cooper has returned from » 

 vacation trip to Philadelphia. 



C. F. Maler is the first on deck with 

 violets. E. S. K. 



NEWPORT, R. L 



Mrs. Robert Goelet has been so favor- 

 ably impressed by the manner in which 

 the affairs of the Newport Horticultural 

 Society have been conducted, that she 

 has contributed $500 to, the society, this 

 sura to be used, at the rate of $100 ^a 

 year, for prizes to private gardeners. 



Perhaps the success of Mrs. Goelet 's 

 gardener, Colin Robertson, as an exhib- 

 itor, may have had a little to do with 

 the prompting of Mrs. Goelet to make 

 so large a contribution. One thing, how- 

 ever, 18 certain, that it augurs well for 

 the future of the Newport Horticultural 

 Society, that the interest of such as Mrs. 

 Goelet is aroised in its affairs. M.
