The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Sbptbmbeb 7, 1911. 



DENVER. 

 The Market. 



The last few days in August were 

 exceedingly dull, but Sep< ember busi- 

 ness started up well indeed, and every- 

 one feels encouraged and hopes that 

 the real dull season is over. With the 

 exception of funeral flowers, little is 

 sold, as the majority of Denver homes 

 have been quite fortunate this year in 

 growing their own flowers. In most 

 of the yards are seen asters, gladioli, 

 cosmos and dahlias, and all the florists 

 are prkying for an early frost as the 

 best possible means of getting rid of 

 the garden stock. 



Beauties are coming in better every 

 day, both in quantity and quality. Tea 

 roses are quite respectable in appear- 

 ance since the mildew left them, but 

 the stems are still short. There are 

 quantities of asters, but most of them 

 are of poor quality and are sold at a 

 low price. Carnations are still small 

 and short-stemmed, but are in demand. 



Various Notes. 



C. Zbendin has taken the store at 

 Fifteenth and Lawrence streets, and 

 so far is quite well satisfied with the 

 results. 



Fred Hall has just finished install- 

 ing a new boiler, and is now busy get- 

 ting his cellar in shape to receive his 

 winter supply of coal. 



Fire broke out in the Fifteenth 

 street store of the Barteldes Seed Co. 

 August 24, damaging the stock to the 

 extent of $45,000. The insurance ad- 

 justers have been working in the store 

 since the fire, and have allowed noth- 

 ing to be sold or taken out. This has 

 been hard on the florists who depend 

 upon this firm for supplies, but Mr. 

 Horlacher says to have patience, and 

 promises it will soon be over. The cel- 

 lar was filled with fertilizers of dif- 

 ferent kinds, dried blood, blood and 

 bone, etc., and during the fire the water 

 from above ran down into these fer- 

 tilizers. It is a great deal of work 

 to get this cellar cleaned out, as the 

 workmen cannot stay in it for more 

 than a few minutes. 



Harry G. Backham, for some years 

 connected with the Park Floral Co., 

 left last Saturday for Detroit, Mich., 

 where he and his father will go into 

 business. 



P. O. Hansen, of Greeley, is ship- 

 ping in some fine asters with long 

 stems. They are far better than any 

 that are grown in Denver. 



The Curtis Park Floral Co. has re- 

 cently improved its property by erect- 

 ing an iron fence, which adds greatly 

 to the appearance. M. E. J. 



Alpena, Mich, — Linke & Son have 

 just completed a new carnation house, 

 26x80 feet. 



Albany, N. Y.— Harry A. Bradt, for- 

 merly employed by F. A. Danker, is 

 now with Mark Aitken, at Springfield, 

 Mass.
