The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Septdmbbr 21, 1911. 



DENVER. 



The Market. 



Jack Frost has not yet shown him- 

 self, much to the annoyance of the 

 floristB. t'he first days of last week 

 were, without exception, the hottest 

 this summer, and all outdoor flowers 

 continue to flourish. Asters are sold 

 for whatever can be obtained. Judg- 

 ing from the quantity and the price 

 they bring, it would seem that every- 

 body who has a few growing in his 

 yard is bringing them to town and 

 selling them for little or nothing. One 

 good frost would put an end to this. 

 One florist was heard to say last week 

 that the more he talked about the frost 

 that is bound to come soon, the hot- 

 ter it got, so he was going to stop 

 thinking about it. 



Carnations are hard to move, but 

 we can blame the asters again. When 

 they are out of the way, carnations will 

 take a front seat. Chrysanthemums are 

 on the market, both the cut blooms and 

 the plants, but there is little demand 

 for them. 



But little stock is being shipped. All 

 the out-of-town florists seem to have 

 all the asters and roses needed, and 

 their orders are mostly for Beauties 

 and lily of the valley. There are plen- 

 ty of good Beauties, but it is almost 

 impossible to get valley at any price. 

 Only a small quantity is being forced, 

 and it is generally sold before it is 

 ready to cut. 



Various Notes. 



Thfe interior of the Elitch-Long store 

 has been newly decorated and painted. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Kennedy spent a 

 few days last week at Buffalo Park. 



H. J. Berry is building a large re- 

 frigerator in his store at 613 Fifteenth 

 street. 



The Barteldes Seed Co. had a real 

 fire sale for several days after the 

 building was turned over to them by 

 the insurance company. They sold all 

 florists' supplies at greatly reduced 

 prices, and in this way cleaned out 

 some lines quickly. 



There have been many changes 

 among the employees in the different 

 stores lately. Thomas McDonald is 

 with William Speth; H. F. Schulze has 

 left the Elitch-Long flower store and 

 is with H. J. Berry, and Mrs. A. G. 

 Robinson is in charge of Geo. H. 

 Cooper's Broadway store. 



The building at Fifteenth and Chey- 

 enfae street, a portion of which has 

 been occupied by W. C. Walter for 

 several months, has been sold. It will 

 be torn down shortly, and a fine hotel 

 will be erected. 



D. Marsh, of La Junta, called on the 

 trade here recently. M. R. J.
