DENVER. 



The Market. 



There has been little going on in the 

 last two weeks. The only considerable 

 outlet seems to be funeral work, and 

 if it were not for that, business would 

 be poor, indeed. At the funeral of the 

 late D. H. Moffat, the man for whom 

 the Moffat road was named, there were 

 quantities of flowers, and everything of 

 good quality on the market found ready 

 sale. Easter lilies and long-stemmed 

 American Beauties seemed to be favor- 

 ites, but a great many tea roses and 

 violets were also used. This funeral 

 work was done mostly by the larger 

 concerns, and it gave them an oppor- 

 tunity to dispose of a qviantity of 

 stock that might otherwise have been 

 a loss. 



Nearly every ice-box in every flower 

 store is filled to the overflowing point. 

 This is especially true with reference 

 to those who have contracts with grow- 

 ers, and who take the cut from a cer- 

 tain number of plants each day 

 throughout the season. The bright, 

 warm weather is rapidly bringing out 

 the carnations and roses, and if it 

 keeps up for another week it will inter 

 fere seriously with the crop for Easter. 

 Weather conditions will absolutely con- 

 trol the violet supply for Easter. The 

 indications are that there will be plenty, 

 but should the weather suddenly make 

 up its mind to continue warm and 

 windy, all the violets will be burned np. 



At last we are rid of the California 

 violet peddlers — this time, we hope, for 

 good. Their violets began to arrive in 

 poor condition, and the loss was more 

 than they could stand. It is a notice- 

 able fact that as soon as they leave us, 

 the violet business improves, but im- 

 mediately after their return it drops, 

 drops, almost out of sight. 



There will be but little advance in 

 the price of cut flowers for Easter. The 

 retailers will be glad to hear this. 



Various Notes. 



The Cut Eate Flower Store, at 24G 

 Broadway, had its opening April 1. A 

 fern or other plant was presented to 

 each caller. 



W. C. Walter has recently added a 

 few more greenhouses to his property 

 at Fourth and Josephine streets. He 

 has taken the building at Fifteenth 

 and Cheyenne streets, has made the 

 necessary changes and repairs and will 

 open it in the near future as a regular 

 flower store. 



The Park Floral Co. was favored 

 ivith more than half of the work for 

 the D. H. Moffat funeral. The other 

 half was shared by three or four of 

 the other concerns. 



The friends of J 

 awaiting his return 

 congratulate him on his recent election 

 to the presidency of the American Car- 

 nation Society. They are all proud of 

 Mr. Valentine, and feel that they have 

 been highly honored in having one 

 from their city selected to fill this high 

 office. 



Charles Stone, of Pueblo, Colo., was 

 in the city the latter part of March. 

 He was looking for a saleslady or a 

 new store, wTiich he 

 open April 1. Other
