The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Septembeb 30, 1009. 



DENVER. 



The Market 



Trade during the last two weeks has 

 been a little dull, but the last few days, 

 the weather being colder, business picked 

 up and showed slight improvement. We 

 have had a few good days aud then some 

 uncertain days, but they were not suf- 

 ficient to change the general cheerful 

 outlook. The warm weather has retarded 

 its fullest development aud there is a 

 scarcity of stock. 



American Beauties and Eichmonds are 

 perhaps the most plentiful in the rose 

 line, both coming in in good quality, with 

 fairly long stems. Carnations are in 

 great demand but are not coming in any 

 great quantity. One probable reason for 

 the increased demand is the short supply 

 of good asters, which are about over, and 

 following them are the dahlias, which 

 have seen better days. Chrysanthemums 

 are beginning to be seen, but as yet are 

 not much of a factor. Lily of the valley 

 is fairly plentiful, but the price remains 

 the same. Violets now and then are 

 seen, but not enough to put on sale. 



Various Notes. 



We had President Taft with us one 

 day last week and several dinner decora- 

 tions was the result. The largest was at 

 Senator Hughes' residence, it being done 

 by A. H. Bush, of Daniels & Fisher. • 



The Interstate Fair and Exposition 

 was held here last week and brought 

 fortn a fine display of floriculture. The 

 list of exhibitors is too long to mention. 

 The floral designs and table and mantel 

 decorations were the center of attraction 

 and brought out some fine work. 



The Colorado Florists' Club met 

 Thursday, September 23. Only routine 

 business was attended to, after which a 

 social time with refreshments was at- 

 tended to.
