DENVER. 



The Market 



Business last week was good — in fact, 

 the best since the commencement of 

 Lent. There was a good run of funeral 

 work, and St. Patrick 's day created quite 

 a demand for white and green carna- 

 tions. As there was apparently a good 

 supply on hand, there was no shortage, 

 but the price kept firm. Other carna- 

 tions are in good supply, and some low 

 prices are quoted, but first-class stock 

 remains at the same figure. 



Boses are in good supply also, with the 

 exception of Beauties. None of the 

 houses are able as yet to report any in- 

 crease in the cut of these. The quality 

 has improved a little, and the demand 

 has been such that all Beauties sell at 

 good prices. 



The plant trade has been good, with 

 any quantity of bulbous flowers. 



Various Notes. 



J. A. Valentine, president of the S. A. 

 F., has returned from the meeting of the 

 executive committee at Cincinnati. 



August Schenkel, of 3514 West Twen- 

 ty-ninth avenue, attempted suicide by 

 shooting himself through the head last 

 week. His aim was unsteady* and in- 

 stead of sending the bullet through his 

 head, he simply suffered a flesh wound in 

 the left cheek. He was taken to the 

 hospital. 



Mr. and Mrs. Elitch-Long, of the 

 Elitch-Long Greenhouses, have returned 

 from the east. E. S. K. 



TOLEDO, OHIO. 



Business is fair. Flowers are not so 

 plentiful. 



The Krueger Bros. Co. reports business 

 as good. They have the glass on their 

 farm for an addition of three houses, 

 30x250, which they intend to put up this 

 coming season. 



W. G. Haebich, who has been the 

 florist in charge at the Northwestern 

 State Hospital for the Insane, is about 

 to take charge of the greenhouses of the 

 Henry Salzer Co., at La Crosse, Wis. Mr. 

 Haebich, having many years' experience 

 in the business, ought to be the right 

 man for the place. He has a number of 

 friends in the trade in this city who are 

 very sorry to see him leave. E. A. K. 



ScRANTON, Pa. — G. K. Clark and 

 Thomas McClintock, members of the 

 Scranton Florists' Club, are making 

 preparations for the annual show, which 

 will be held in St. Luke's parish house 

 March 25 and 26.
