in the cut flower department and in sup- 

 plies. Three men are now on the road, 

 with a fourth confining himself to the 

 city trade. 



E. C. Amling says he does not see how 

 it can pay growers of the common sorts 

 of gladiolus to ship to this market. The 

 time was when these mixed shipments 

 brought fair prices, but nowadays there 

 are so many of the fancy named sorts 

 received that the mixed stuff can only 

 be sold to the job lot buyers, who are 

 few and far between at this season. Mr. 

 Amling is able to move Augusta in large 

 quantities at fair prices, but says 

 America is the one best seller. 



C. W. McKellar is receiving consider- 

 able consignments of tritoma, the red- 

 hot poker plant. Place these in an ap- 

 propriate bowl and they make an excel- 

 lent table centerpiece, or a striking cen- 

 ter for a retailer's window. 



Miss Wattman, who has charge of E. 

 C. Amling 's books, returned from her 

 vacation the last day of the month. The 

 accounting departments of all the 

 wholesalers had a busy session, the usual 

 Monday settlements with growers coming 

 the same day as the first business day 

 of the month. 



G. H. Pieser, president of the Kenni- 

 cott Bros. Co., returned August 2 from a 

 fortnight's trip by water to Quebec. 



Percy Jones says that July was rela- 

 tively a better month than June; Juiie 

 disappointed a good many people in this 

 market, while July has proved better 

 than anticipations. 



Dominick Freres is taking advantage 

 of the lull in shipments to whiten up his 

 corner of the Flower Growers' Market. 



C. W. Davison, of Des Moines, who 

 was here this week, worked for Poehl- 



Mentlon The Review when you wnta 



mann Bros. Co. in 1894. He visited Mor- 

 ton Grove, but said he would not have 

 recognized the place. 



Caroline C. Massey, mother of Mrs. 

 W. N. Eudd, died August 1, aged 76 

 years. The funeral was held from Mr. 

 Kudd's residence in Blue Island Tuesday 

 afternoon. 



L. Baumann, of L. Baumann & Co., 

 has been busy since his return from Eu- 

 rope, making preparations for the conven- 

 tion at Cincinnati. He will have a good 

 exhibit there and expects to show a num- 

 ber of new specialties. 



Leonard Kill spent Sunday at Channel 

 Lake, running the Reinberg auto up and 

 back, the return journey in deep mud. 



Among the visitors in town this week 

 have been B. Eschner, representing M. 

 Rice & Co., Philadelphia; C. W. Davison, 

 manager of the greenhouse department 

 of the Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, on 

 his way home from the east; H. Roth, 

 of La Fayette, Ind., on his vacation; J. 

 J. "Waaland, Findlay, O., on his way home 

 from a fortnight's outing; G. Fredrick- 

 son, St. Joe, Mich., a frequent caller. 



Bowling. 



The team which was to have bowled 



against the florists July 30 failed to 



show up, so the boys made the following 



scores in practice:

DENVER. 



The Market 



Business last week was rather quiet, 

 •with lots of- rain and warm weather. 

 Many of the flower buyers are out of 

 town, and if it were not for funeral 

 orders occasionally, it would seem like 

 Sunday. Still, the outlook is good. 



But few American Beauties are com- 

 ing, and they are practically the only 

 rose stock that measures up to any tiling 

 like what roses should be. Carnations 

 are almost off. Asters have made their 

 appearance on the market, but so far 

 the early ones do not stand much judg- 

 ing. Sweet peas are fine and fairly 

 plentiful. Dahlias and gladioli have iilso 

 shown up, but not to any great extent. 



Variofia Notea. 



B. E. Gillis, of the Park Floral Co., 

 is spending a few weeks at Pitkin, (' lo- 



The interest in the S. A. F. conveniinn 

 continues, and the outlook is good f ' a 

 good sized delegation to accompany 

 President Valentine. They expect to 

 leave Denver via the Bock Island for ( i'i- 

 cago Saturday, August 14, arriving M n- 

 (lay in time to accompany the Chic: ::» 

 florists on their special. 



Among the recent visitors w'e 

 Thomas Meehan, of Dreshertown, Fi-, 

 and J. H. Dayton, secretary of *^^ 

 Storrs & Harrison Co. They spent Fri- 

 day in the city, and were entertained by 

 President Valentine. 



Carl Espelin, of Espelin & Warren, of 

 Fort Collins, has been spending a vaca- 

 tion of ten days in the city.
