The Weekly Florists* Review* 



Fbbbdabt 18, 1909. 



DENVER. 



The Market 



The demand for flowers last week was 

 good, considering that it was affected 

 somewhat by the bad weather. Retailers 

 generally report a fair business, with 

 good prices. 



Beauty roses have not been overplenti- 

 ful, especially the medium priced ones, 

 and these are not exceptionally good. 

 Other roses are good and just about 

 enough to go around, considering the 

 light demand for them. Carnations have 

 been plentiful and easy to get — all the 

 retailers wanted at reasonable prices. 



Lincoln's birthday created a demand 

 for a certain line of flowers. On St. 

 Valentine's day, although the weather 

 was bad, the trade was good in all lines, 

 especially in violets, great numbers of 

 bunches being sold at regular prices. 



Bulbous flowers are coming in quan- 

 tity, but have not been swift sale as yet. 



VariotM Notes. 



The Gallup Floral Co. has moved from 

 its location on Sixteenth street to 1546 

 California street. 



A. C. Sinram, of Arapahoe street, will 

 open a new store for the sale of cut flow- 

 ers and plants about March 1, at the 

 comer of Fifteenth and Tremont streets. 



J. A. Valentine has returned from the 

 carnation convention and other eastern 

 points. 



Frank Crump, of Colorado Springs, was 

 a recent visitor. 



Emil Glauber, of the Montclair Green- 

 houses, has returned from New York and 

 the east. 



F. X. Goeschel has opened a store at 

 First avenue and Broadway. E. S. K. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



Business for the last three weeks has 

 been fairly good. Cut flowers and bloom- 

 ing plants are moving well at moderate 

 prices. Some good azaleas, cyclamens 

 and primroses are to be had. Cinerarias 

 are coming in also, but are limited. Cut 

 hyacinths and tulips are plentiful, but 

 flower buyers prefer roses and carna- 

 tions; consequently bulb stock is not sell- 

 ing well. In fact, you have to do some 

 tall talking to make a sale of them. Val- 

 entine 's day is improving every year. 

 Some of the florists think it will equal 

 Christmas in a few years. Most of the 

 stores had good displays for that day, 

 Jacob Schulz being the leader. Henry 

 Fuchs also had a beautiful display of 

 hyacinths and tulips in boxes and pans 

 and a variety of potted plants. 



At the last session of the bowling club 

 James Doerr's team put it over Will 

 Walker's team to the tune of three 

 straight. Louis Kirch was the king of 

 the evening. K. E. 



Not a few subscribers save themselves 

 the bother of annual renewal by sending 

 the Review $2, .$3, or occasionally $5, in- 

 stead of the dollar bill that insures fiity- 

 two visits of the paper.
