The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



August Ijl, 1910. 



DENVER, COLO. 



The Maxket. 



Business for the last two weeks has 

 been unusually dull, owing partly to 

 the scarcity of stock; there are no 

 roses to speak of and the few that 

 come in are small and open almost too 

 quickly to sell. Carnations are in the 

 same boat; most of the growers have 

 thrown out the old plants and what 

 few new ones arrive are small and 

 short stemmed; in fact, almost unsala- 

 ble. "Work for a few funerals is about 

 all there is to do — and at that it takes 

 some hustling to find enough stock to 

 make a design. Sweet peas are even 

 poorer and asters, although just coming 

 in, are away below par, owing, no doubt, 

 to the hot and dry weather. Take it 

 all in all, dealers say flowers never 

 were so scarce during the months of 

 July and August as this year. 



Various Notes, 



Miss Helen Eudd, of Chicago, has 

 been spending a month or so with Mr. 

 and Mrs. Valentine. 



B. E. Gillis has returned from his 

 vacation at Pitkin and Colorado 

 Springs. 



The office of the Park Floral Co., at 

 1706 Broadway, was broken into 

 Wednesday morning, August 3, by 

 burglars, and between $50 and $100 

 was secured. They also took a gold 

 watch belonging to Miss G. E. Page, 

 the secretary of the company. Nitro- 

 glycerine was used, the explosion being 

 heard by employees of the Shirley and 

 Savoy hotels. The robbers blew off the 

 doors of the safe and, removing the 

 strong box deposited inside, carried it 

 to the basement, where they blew it 

 open. The company will lose nothing, 

 however, as it was fully protected by 

 burglary insurance. 



Only a few expect to attend the con- 

 vention at Rochester. J. A. Valentine, 

 of course, will go, and Mr. Root, of the 

 Barteldes Seed Co., as well as E. S. 

 Kennedy, of the Alpha Floral Co., ex- 

 pect to attend, and there may be others. 



E. S. K. 



Danvers, Mass. — Ettore Tassinari, 

 gardener at the Danvers State Hospital, 

 has increased the area covered by the 

 flower beds this season, and the ar- 

 rangement of the beds is even more 

 beautiful and elaborate than usual. 

 Among the designs on the grounds are 

 a large horse, a girl in a swing, an 

 American eagle and a Maltese cross. 

 The plants used are all grown in the 

 hospital' greenhouses, which have been 

 in "Charge -of Mr. Tassinari for thirty 

 years.
