The Weekly Florists' Review. 



December 21, 1911. 



DENVEB. 



The Market. 



One quiet day in every two or three 

 busy ones has been the rule of late. 

 There is no surplus of stock, however, 

 and we are sometimes thankful when 

 there is no demand. Violets do not 

 sell readily, but they are the exception. 

 No one seems to want them. The violet 

 peddlers who had been standing on the 

 street corners had to leave town. They 

 could not sell their stock, and were 

 losing money. 



Indications point to a scarcity of all 

 kinds of flowers for Christmas, though 

 the weather next week will control the 

 cut to a great degree. Eose growers 

 are hoping for cold, cloudy weather to 

 hold back the roses, which are a little 

 too far advanced. Carnation men are 

 hoping for just the opposite — nice, 

 warm, sunny weather to bring the back- 

 ward blooms forward. 



Wholesalers of Christmas plants are 

 sold out, the demand having been un- 

 usually heavy. There is a quantity 

 of Christmas greens of all kinds on 

 the market and it would appear that 

 this sort of stock is going to be over- 

 done. The holly is go5d this year, espe- 

 cially that which is packed in paper- 

 lined boxes. A few sheets of paper 

 make a great deal of difference in any 

 shipment to this dry climate. 



Various Notes. 



The Colorado Florists' Club held its 

 regular monthly meeting December 4. 

 After the installation of officers, there 

 was a report by the flower show com- 

 mittee, which showed that nearly $5,000 

 had been subscribed by the florists of 

 the state. A committee, composed of 

 Fred Hall, K S. Kennedy and T. W. 

 Hannah, was appointed to furnish the 

 program at the next meeting. A. Gard- 

 ner, of Greeley, and J. W. Smith, of 

 Colorado Springs, were in attendance. 



Mrs. Warren Smith has been ill with 

 bronchitis, but is now able to be out. 



Ben Boidt is the only one in Denver 

 this year who has been really successful 

 in growing poinsettias. It is needless 

 to say that they were all sold early. 



Visitors: Carl Hagemeyer, of the 

 Deichman & Douglas Floral Co., Colo- 

 rado Springs; J. W. Smith and Ed. 

 Johnson, Colorado Springs; Wm. Butler, 

 Longmont; A. Gardner, Greeley; S.

They contain the latest 

 news on scientific watering 

 for Florists and Growers. 



These books also contain 

 photographs and testimo-

This is_ a new invention 

 for watering. It is an over-

 gentle mist form that can-

It is operated by the 

 Special Skinner Turning 

 Device that permits one 

 man to water an almost un- 

 limited area, without 

 moving from one spot. 



In hundreds of cases the 

 Skinner System has paid for 

 itself in a single season 

 through saving in wages, 

 better plants, reduced 

 water and hose bills.
