The Weekly Florists' Review. 



KEBRUAnv 29, 19JJ 



DENVER. 



The Market. 



The week of Fel)riiiiry 12 was un 

 usually active, and everyone seemed 

 satisfied with results. The custom of 

 sending flowers for valentines was car- 

 ried further this year than ever before, 

 and it was quite common for a lady to 

 leave orders for deliveries to all her 

 friends. Violets were the favorite and 

 were in plentiful supply. American 

 Beauties were scarce, and nearly all 

 ortlers had to be refused. As usual, 

 red carnations were away out of reach 

 for Valentine's day and for Washing- 

 ton's birthday, but since then they 

 have not moved as fast as other color.s. 



Long Beauties are coming in better 

 now, and in greenhouses where thev 

 were cutting two or three a day last 

 week, they are now getting a dozen or 

 more. There are few of a medium 

 grade, however. Tea roses are better, 

 although there are not yet enough to 

 supply the demand, especially in short 

 stock, such as is used in funeral work. 

 There have been several large funerals 

 during the last two weeks, and roses 

 that are at all salable have found a 

 market. 



The cut of carnations is at its height 

 and consequently there is a surplus. 

 The quality of stock is first-class. En- 

 chantress is inclined to take its annual 

 nap and frequent complaints are re- 

 ceived because it has gone to sleep 

 after having been cut only a few hours. 

 Bulb stock is coming in heavily. There 

 are some fine pots and pans of hya- 

 cinths, tulips and daffodils. Some ele- 

 gant azaleas are to be seen. They 

 are much better now than they were at 

 Christmas time, but unfortunately do 

 not bring as good prices. 



Kaster and calla lilies are abundant. 

 A few bunches of pansies are brought 

 in occasionally and are sold immedi- 

 ately. 



There is no sniilax within miles of us. 

 All that Colorado Springs had has been 

 lUt and shipped and now we do not 

 know where to look for it. Ferns are 

 in great demand, and the weekly ship- 

 ments received are sold quickly. There 

 is no overabundance of Sprengeri, and 

 practically no plumosus. Adiantum 

 Croweanum is about cut out, and what 

 is now coming in is short and inferior. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Eobinson have 

 bought the D. Marsh place at La Junta. 

 Colo., where they will conduct a first- 

 class flower store. Mr. and Mrs. Eob- 

 inson were both with the Mauff Floral 

 Co. for some time. 



The Coterie of the Park Floral Co. 

 was entertained February 1.3 by Mr. 

 and Mrs. -T. A. Valentine, at their home. 

 It was a "Valentine" party, anfi some 

 of the original valentines created fnuch 

 merriment. J. A. Jensen was admitted 

 to membership, after having been sub- 

 jected to a most rigid examination. 



Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Long returned 

 t'roni the east February 12. 



N. A. Benson has started work on 

 five new greenhouses, in which he will
