The Market. 



The great quantity of outdoor flowers 

 has had a depressing effect on business 

 the last month. Asters, dahlias, gladi- 

 .oli, etc., have grown unusually well in 

 the garden this summer, and conse- 

 quently have lessened the demand for 

 greenhouse stock. 



Boses und carnations are plentiful, 

 and a good many are sold, but at sUch 

 low prices as to be almost given away. 

 Green goods are scarce, and fern leaves 

 are in demand, although there are none 

 in the market as yet. 



Various Notes. 



The Bargain Flower Store, conducted 

 by W. D. Black, has moved from 1455 

 Broadway to 235 Fifteenth street. 



John Berry, for several ye^rs in 

 charge of the Monument Valley park, 

 in Colorado Springs, has been appointed 

 superintendent of the City park of 

 Denver. Mr. Berry is well fitted for 

 the position, and his friends have no 

 doubt that he will be most successful 

 in his new work. 



Thurston H. U. Smith has just com- 

 pleted another greenhouse, which will 

 add 500 square feet of glass to his 

 range. 



C. J. Hurt has a new automobile. 

 It is surprising how quickly the florists 

 are catching the auto fever. 



The new store at 1515 Champa 

 street is the Colorado Seed & Nursery 

 Co., wholesale and retail dealers in 

 seeds, bulbs, plants, cut flowers, nurs- 

 ery stock, etc. The members of the 

 firm are all former employees of the 

 Barteldes Seed Co., and are C. E. Boot, 

 Wm. Horlacher, and Lewis Malone. 



Visitors: J. S. Wilson, Des Moines, 

 la.; Balph Bichey, Albia, la.; Mr. and 

 Mrs. G. H. Angermueller, St. Louis, 

 Mo.; C. A. Espelin, T. J. Warren, Fort 

 Collins; Frank Sauerwald, Colorado 

 Springs; Mrs. B. C. Eobinson, La Junta; 

 P. O. Hansen, Greeley, Colo.
