The Market. 



We had a touch of real winter, which 

 reached the climax on New Year's day, 

 when the thermometer registered 16 

 degrees below zero. At some of the 

 greenhouses that were not sheltered it 

 went as low as 22 degrees below. This 

 lasted only a day or two, however, and 

 since then we have had weather that 

 would compare favorably with spring. 



Business has kept up quite steadily 

 since the holidays. Balls and receptions 

 have been numerous and, with several 

 funerals, have taken all the available 

 stock, which is none too plentiful. 



Carnations are off crop at several of 

 the larger places. This is also true of 

 tea roses and Beauties, but for once vio- 

 lets are up to the demand. Prices are 

 about the same as before Christmas, A 

 few Easter lilies are seen, but there is 

 little call for them. Jonquils have made 

 their appearance and are selling well. 



Various Notes. 



The Elitch-Long Flower Store had the 

 decoration at the reception of the First 

 National Bank in its new quarters, Mon- 

 day, January 2. Numerous bouquets 

 were sent to the officers, many of them 

 being furnished by the Park Floral Co. 



T. McDonald, the florist at Fifteenth 

 and Lawrence streets, was probably the 

 heaviest loser by reason of the recent 

 cold weather. The steam pipes froze, 

 and every cut flower and plant in his 

 place was frozen. Several plants in the 

 window of the Alpha Floral Co. were 

 touched by frost, and all those in the 

 windows of the Elitch-Long store were 

 ruined. 



The decorating at the Denver Club 

 for its annual ball was done by A. H. 

 Bush, of the Daniels & Fisher Stores Co. 

 The scheme was quite unique and was 

 highly complimented in the daily 

 papers. M. E. J. 



CAT.T.A ELLIOTTIANA. 



I should like to know something of 

 the habit, requirements and capacity 

 for bloom of Calla Elliottiana, as com- 

 pared with C. -lEthiopica. G. F. B. 



The yellow Calla Elliottiana is a na- 

 ti'^ of South Africa. Unlike C. JEthi- 

 opica, it is not a winter bloomer and 

 has therefore less commercial value. 

 The tubers should be starred in heat in 

 March or April and must be kept on 

 the dry side until the pots are well 

 filled with roots. Its natural flowering

time is summer and a few pots make a 

 pretty effect in a store window. Planted 

 outdoors in rich soil, it succeeds better 

 than when confined in pots and flowers 

 for a number of weeks. Clumps of it in 

 the flower garden are quite effective. 

 It is usually propagated from seeds, 

 which the plant produces in abundance. 

 Before freezing weather occurs, the 

 roots must be lifted and stored in a dry 

 shed or cellar for the winter. Commer- 

 cially speaking, Calla Elliottiana has no 

 great value. Were it a persistent win- 

 ter bloomer it would be different.
