DENVER. 



The Market. 



The business of last week was rather 

 quiet. Plenty of stock of all kinds was 

 available, with the exception, perhaps, 

 of Beauties. Carnations have been com- 

 ing in rather heavily and the market has 

 difficulty in keeping them cleaned up, so 

 prices are down. The quality is good. 



Most of the retailers report trade as 

 being behind former seasons. Some say 

 it is due to weather conditions. Koses 

 are beginning to show the effects of the 

 heat. The spring plant trade has opened 

 a little, there being some call now for 

 pansy and geranium plants and bedding 

 plants, due no doubt to the continued 

 mild weather. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. J. A. Valentine has been at Glen- 

 wood Springs for a couple of weeks. 



The Colorado I'lorists ' Club 's first card 

 party and ball was a complete success, 

 some fifty couples taking advantage of 

 the entertainment offered by the commit- 

 tee. The music, furnished by Berry's 

 orchestra, was much enjoyed by all. 



The Columbine Floral Co. has moved 

 to 1553 Curtis street. E. S. K. 



RCXHESTER. 



The Market. 



Business in flowers and plants during 

 the week has been reasonably brisk, but 

 not rushing, so that additional salespeo- 

 ple were not necessary. 



Various Notes. 



The florists' stores are exceedingly at- 

 tractive at this season, with lavish dis- 

 plays of tulips and hyacinths. The store 

 of Paul Thomann, in the "Whitcomb 

 house, shows what artistic ability can do 

 in a small store. 



The Florists' Association meets next 

 Monday evening. May 9, in the Cutler 

 building club rooms. Reports will be 

 expected from the various committees ap- 

 pointed on account of the S. A. F. con- 

 vention. The general committee is busy 

 with plans for the entertainment of the 

 visiting florists. 



Albert F. Vick, captain of the bowl- 

 ing team, is training his men so they 

 will probably win all the prizes in sight.
