The Market. 



Trade is not at all steady. Some 

 days it makes a spurt, then it slows 

 down, and it keeps one constantly 

 guessing what it is going to do next. 

 There have not been many funerals, 

 and consequently the accumulation had 

 to be dumped, causing a heartache now 

 and then, but, taken as a whole, the 

 growers cannot complain about stock 

 that has been consigned to the dump, 

 for all season it has been barely notice- 

 able. 



Tea roses continue to be scarce, al- 

 though the crisis has passed and we 

 look for improved conditions shortly. 

 Beauties are also scarce, although the 

 crop is improving right along. 



Carnations have been a little in ex- 

 cess of the demand, but there has not 

 as yet been any great glut. Prices 

 have remained steady, there being no 

 legitimate reason for cutting. McKin- 

 ley dav passed by without any extra 

 demand for carnations, 



Violets are selling well, and the 

 growers are ready with an extra 

 amount for Valentine's day. There is 

 an abundance of daffodils, but many 

 of them are of an inferior grade. 



Club Meeting. 



The Colorado Florists' Club had an- 

 other interesting meeting Monday eve- 

 ning, February 5, at T. M. A. hall. 

 William Horlacher read a paper on 

 "Seeds, Plants and Cut Flower Grow- 

 ing Near the Mediterranean," which 

 was enjoyed by all. Mr. Horlacher

BEHRE'S IMPROVED MODEL 



STEM-ER 



Patent applied for. 



A time-eaver to the extent of lessening over 60^ 

 of the labor, together with the grace in which the 

 leaves and flowers can be set by the firm hold the 

 Stemmer has upon them, making; them an arti- 

 cle of perfectioii. They are now being used by 

 leading designers. 



This is what E. Woeri, of Enid, Okla., thinks of my Stemmer: 

 "Please ship at once50UU Stemmers; 1 am out and canrot g^et alons 

 without them. Yours truly, Eugene Woeri." 



Prices: From 1000 to 6000 at 76c per 1000; 10.000 lota M 

 70c: 26,000 lots and over at 66c. At your dealer's or direct 

 from the factory. 



E. H. BEHRE, Madison, N. J. 



Mention Tbe Review wben you write 



visited in Europe years ago, and told 

 of his experiences and the impressions 

 he received at that time, and what he 

 looks for in the future. 



Several eastern concerns shipped 

 novelties which were exhibited. F. 

 Dorner & Sons, of La Fayette, Ind., sent 

 some Eosette carnations. From the 

 E. G. Hill Co., Eichmond, Ind., came 

 the new rose. Sunburst. A. N. Pierson, 

 Inc., Cromwell, Conn., shipped Killar- 

 ney Queen and Double White Killar- 

 ney; also some Asparagus Hatcheri. 

 Ihese two roses came through in excel- 

 lent condition and were much admired. 

 Peter Fisher, of Ellis, Mass., sent 

 blooms of Carnation Benora, also Gor- 

 geous, and it was surprising to note 

 their perfect condition after being cut 

 six days. 



Claude E, Cartwright and S. R. 

 Lundy were elected to membership. 



Applications were received from Au- 

 gust Cassier and Verner J. Davis, of 

 Denver, and E, Eandall Bierbauer and 

 C. U, Fohn, of Colorado Springs. 



The entertainment at the next meet- 

 ing is in the hands of Charles A. Ben- 

 son, Will Wilmore and William Hor- 

 lacher. 



Various Notes, 



Emil Glauber is bringing in some 

 extra select Killarney and White Kil- 

 larney. 



The Elitch-Long Greenhouses are for- 

 tunate in having at this time a good 

 supply of fine Beauties. It is needless 

 to say they find a ready market. 



The flower stand in the Dutch Mill 

 is now in possession of Miss Jane 

 Pearse. Mr. Cooper found it too much 

 to handle in addition to his naainf 

 store, and has leased his fixtures to
