The Weekly Florists^ Reviews 



A?RIL 22, 1909. 



DENVER. 



The Market 



Keports on Easter business average 

 from ten to twenty per cent better than 

 last year. Everything moved off satis- 

 factorily, at good prices. Early in the 

 week the weather was bad, but during the 

 last three days, including Sunday fore- 

 noon, it was fine and clear, so that plants 

 did not need to be wrapped. 



There was a plentiful supply of every- 

 thing in the plant line, except lilies. The 

 supply, however, was almost exhausted 

 Saturday morning, and most of the re- 

 maining plants were of poor quality. 

 There was not much novelty in the plant 

 line. As to what sold best, it would be 

 hard to say. Azaleas were great favor- 

 ites, as also were spiraeas. The Lady 

 Gay rambler sold out clean. The increase 

 in business was largely in the plant line. 



There was a good demand for cut 

 flowers. Violets were all sold out ; the 

 demand was for doubles, the singles be- 

 ing nearly done. Everyone had carna- 

 tions, for there was an abundant supply 

 — more than enough. The price was not 

 prohibitive, either, as they retailed for 

 50 cents, 75 cents and $1 per dozen. Tea 

 roses were also plentiful, there being 

 more white left on hand Monday than 

 any other. Beauties sold out clean, the 

 medium stemmed ones being the scarcest. 



Variouf Notei. 



The churches, perhaps, were more elab- 

 orately decorated for Easter this year 

 than ever before. 



J. Hamlin, formerly with the River- 

 bank Greenhouse Co., of Geneva, 111., and 

 previously with the W. W. Edgar Co., of 

 Waverley, Mass., has taken over the busi- 

 ness of C. Dankworth, 1441 Perry street. 



E.S. K. 



JoHNSTOAVN, Pa. — William Schmidt re- 

 cently opened a new store at 120 Frank- 

 lin street, in addition to the old quarters 

 at 208 Franklin street. He grows his 

 own stock and had a fine Easter display 

 at both stores. 



La Ceosse, Wis. — The last meeting of 

 the La Crosse Florists' Association was 

 held Tuesday evening, April 20, instead 

 of April 13, having been postponed one 

 week on account of the illness of Presi- 

 dent Charles Schaef er.
