Various Notes. 



A branch flower store has been 

 opened at the Brown Palace hotel by 

 the Daniels & Fisher Stores Co., where 

 a full line of plants and cut flowers 

 will be carried. Customers at this 

 branch are assured of the same service 

 as at the main store. 



Fred C. Schumann, a violet special- 

 ist from Ohio, has bought the N. S. 

 Kaime greenhouses, at the end of the 

 "West Tliirty-eighth avenue car line, 

 where he will grow violets to supply 

 Denver" florists. The purchase included 

 a residence and five acres of ground 

 and Mr. Schumann intends to improve 

 it and make it one of the show places 

 of Denver. 



M. A. Poss has given up the flower 



store at 1555 Curtis street and it is 

 now under the management of, and is 

 being run as a branch by, the Elitch- 

 Long flower store, which is located at 

 Fifteenth and Stout streets. Mr. Poss 

 has gone on the road ir the interests 

 of several concerns, and reports that 

 there is more money in it than' in the 

 flower business. 



John Berry and Henry Monaghan, of 

 Colorado Springs, spent Thanksgiving 

 in Denver. William H. Evans, of the 

 Pikes Peak Floral Co., Colorado Springs, 

 was also in the city the latter part of 

 the week. 



The store at 325 Sixteenth street, 

 recently opened by the Misses A. & C. 

 Culp, has been discontinued. The stock 

 and fixtures were purchased by the 



Gross Floral Co. and have been moved 

 to the store at 131 Broadway. 



On Thursday and Friday, November 

 17 and 18, at the handsomely decorated 

 Broadway store and conservatory of 

 the Park Floral Co., there was an ex- 

 hibition of cut flowers and plants, table 

 and mantel decorations. A bench of 

 cyclamen attracted a great deal of at- 

 tention. There were some magnificent 

 plants, and the colors were beautiful. 

 A graduated mass of Lorraine begonias 

 on one side made a beautiful picture, 

 and some large hanging baskets of this 

 same plant brightened up several spots. 

 The table was set in the conservatory. 

 The first day a tall vase of small single 

 chrysanthemums in the shades of yel- 

 low and brown was surrounded at the 

 base by a quantity of cypripediums and 

 Farleyense fern. The second decora- 

 tion was in cattleyas, arranged in a 

 low mound with Farleyense fern. Masie 

 was furnished each afternoon and even- 

 ing by Lohman's orchestra. This is 

 probably the last show the Park Floral 

 Co. will have at this location, as the 

 new store on Broadway, between Six- 

 teenth and Seventeenth streets, is rap- 

 idly nearing completion. The new place 

 will be strictly up-to-date. The lower 

 floor will be given over to the store 

 and work rooms, a portion being re- 

 served for the wagon shed and eleva- 

 tor, which will be used to carry stock 

 to and from the conservatory, on the 

 second floor. The office will occupy the 

 entire front of this floor, and every- 

 thing will be most conveniently ar- 

 ranged. 



Bowling. 



Several of the members of the bowl- 

 ing league went to Colorado Springs
