The Weekly Florists' Review. 



June 24, 1909. 



DENVER. 



The Market. 



The condition of the flower market is 

 practically unchanged since last report, 

 except perhaps a slight falling oflf in 

 the demand. With one or two events 

 and the closing exercises of the schools 

 and colleges, business might be said to 

 be as good as could be expected. 



Good American Beauties are in fair 

 demand and somewhat scarce. "While 

 tea roses are fairly plentiful, they be- 

 gin to show the eflFects of the warm 

 weather, and at that they are not the 

 factor that they were. 



Sweet peas are now coming in abun- 

 dantly. Consequently the prices com- 

 mence to lower and the flowers are mov- 

 ing freely. Carnations are coming in 

 in large quantities and some are of fine 

 quality, considering the season, but the 

 demand for good stock is limited, and 

 the balance is being sacrificed. Any 

 sale is a sale, and any price is a good 

 price. 



Peonies have been good and are yet, 

 except the varieties which are about over. 

 Good prices have been obtained for most 

 of them. Other outside flowers have not 

 put in much of an appearance as yet. 



Variotu Notes. 



The University Club's ball closed the 

 social season Friday night, June 18. 

 The most notable feature of this year's 

 ball was the many dinners which pre- 

 ceded it. The decorations were un- 

 usually beautiful throughout the club- 

 house and in the canopied flower garden 

 arranged on the lawn. The broad hall 

 was charmingly trimmed with Spanish 

 moss, while red peonies, spiraeas and 

 greenery were used in all available 

 spaces. Wild roses were used in the re- 

 ception room. The mantels were deco- 

 rated with pink peonies, the grand stair- 

 way with snowballs and asparagus ferns, 

 and the balcony was a miniature forest 

 of pine boughs. In the supper room 

 were sweet peas and daisies. In fact, 

 it is said it was the most pleasing effect 

 ever produced at the club, and reflects 

 credit on B. E. Gillis, of the Park Flo- 

 ral Co. 



W. W. Wilmore is cutting some of the 

 finest pink and white peonies seen in a 

 long time. 



J. A. Valentine and his superintend- 

 ent, Mr. Sked, are fishing on the South 

 Platte. 



Most, if not all the flower shops, will 

 close all day July 4. E. S. K.
