DENVER, COLO. 



Descriptive wholesale price list now ready 



On account of the lateness of the season, 

 the outdoor stock was scarce, especially 

 peonies, which are always useful for dec- 

 orative purposes, as well as a source oif 

 profit. The general report is of at least 

 twenty-five per cent increase over former 

 years, especially in the shipping trade, 

 which was exceedingly heavy. 



June weddings are numerous, and the 

 demand for brides, bouquets of lily 

 of the valley and roses is an important 

 item in the trade. 



Various Notes. 



Clarke Bros, were given the honor of 

 forwarding a beautiful bouquet of roses 

 to President Taft, who will push the 

 golden button in Washington June 7 

 which will inaugurate the Portland Kose 

 Festival. Portland is known as the Bose 

 City and is well worthy of the name. 

 Roses are to be seen in every yard, no 

 matter how humble the cottage may be. 

 The Rose Festival will be held June 7 to 

 12, including many features, floral pa- 

 rades in the day as well as the float 

 parade in the evenings. The floral ex- 

 hibits will be placed in the California 

 state building, where rare blooms will be 

 judged and prizes distributed. The local 

 florists will also exhibit booths for com- 

 petition. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. is now located 

 at 325 Morrison street, which offer* bet- 

 ter facilities for handling their ever in- 

 creasing trade. 



The sympathy of the trade is extended 

 to James Forbes, whose wife died June 

 3 at his home on Mt. Tabor after a lin- 

 gering illness. E. R. C. 



Los Angeles, Cal. — T. Takahashi, 

 proprietor of the New Yokohama nursery, 

 was painfully injured recently in a run- 

 away. He was thrown from his wagon 

 and dragged over the ground for more 

 than a block. His right leg was frac- 

 tured above the knee. He was treated 

 at the Receiving Hospital and later re- 

 moved to his home, near Eastlake Park. 



Waverley, Mass. — Plans for . the 

 greenhouses to be erected for the State 

 Agricultural College, at Cornell, have 

 now been completed. There are to be 

 three large "head houses," one two 

 stories high, constructed of tefra-cotta 

 iifoCks and contSmng laboratoti«s and 

 workrooms. If all the buildings were 

 placed end to end they would extend 

 1,331 feet, and they will contain 109,625 

 square feet of glass.

Fischer's Grand Freesia PURITY 



The unequaled ^bite decorative Freesia. Send in yoar orders early if you want the 

 large sizes, as I am booking large orders for them now and will have to refuse orders for 

 mammoth, although I will have many more bulbs than other years. Our stock is absolutely 

 pure, as great pains is taken to remove any rogues, as they may appear, and all seed pods 

 are removed, avoidiDR all danger of mixture, as Purity does not come true from seed. 

 Dealers getting their stock from us, will always be ^ure to get the purest of stock.
