single plants, but when grouped in a 

 big pan, with perhaps a collar of ferns, 

 they appear to advantage. 



The inside arrangement of the two 

 stores confirms the outside impressions, 

 the one with its tasteful arrangements, 

 the other with its quick sellers. 



Various Notes. 



Hope you had a good Easter 1 



Memorial day will be Tuesday, 

 May 30. 



M. Eice spent Easter in London. 

 While in Boskoop, Holland, he visited 

 a show of choice hardy flowers. 



Henry F. Michell reports that the 

 National Sweet Pea Society's prize 

 list is out. 



George Black, of Black Bros., Balti- 

 more, Md., was a recent visitor. 



Mrs. H. Bayersdorfer left the hos- 

 pital April 18. She is convalescing 

 rapidly. 



Robert A. Craig reports a fine Easter. 



William Berger made a unique de- 

 sign for the funeral of Jolm S. Trower, 

 reputed the wealthiest colwed man in 

 Pennsylvania. It was a floral church 

 about seven feet long, five feet wide 

 and three feet high, with a steeple six 

 feet high or three feet above the 

 chnrch. 



Robert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill, Pa., 



will build two houses about 35x300 

 each for their new rose, Double Killar- 

 ney. Phil. 



DENVER. 



The Market. 



The Easter rush is over, and every- 

 body seems satisfied with the amount 

 of business done. It is still too early 

 to say with any accuracy as to how it 

 compares with other Easters, but most 

 of the retailers report a complete clean- 

 up, which would indicate perfect satis- 

 faction. (This letter was written on 

 Sunday afternoon, and there were yet 

 some lilies on hand; it was expected 

 that a large proportion of these would 

 be sold before closing time that night.) 



Little in the way of Easter business 

 was done before Saturday. In other 

 years a great part of it was over by 

 Thursday night, but it was not so this 

 year. Friday morning there was snow 

 on the ground, and the air was quite 

 cool. This seemed to put a damper on 

 business, and the outlook was anything 

 but pleasant, but on Saturday the sun 

 came out in all his glory, and the stores 

 were crammed with buyers all day and 

 until late that night. 



The demand was primarily for lilies, 

 but the other usual Easter plants also 

 found purchasers. Ramblers were in 



especially fine shape this year. There 

 were also some good azaleas, hydran- 

 geas and rhododendrons. A great many 

 buyers are always looking for some- 

 ^thing new in the way of a plant. Per- 

 haps that is the reason pink spiraeas 

 sold so well. They have not yet be- 

 come common. 



No fancy prices were demanded for 

 cut flowers, and this probably helped 

 their sale. There was a good supply 

 of almost everything. Carnations were 

 plentiful, except red, for which there 

 was an unusual demand. Of Killarney, 

 Richmond, and Beauties in all grades, 

 there was no surplus. We were quite 

 fortunate in having violets, they hav- 

 ing passed safely through the recent 

 wind storms, and while they were not 

 of the best quality, they sold well. 

 Some extra fine sweet peas were noticed. 

 Most of the cut flowers were sold on 

 Sunday morning, and in these, as well 

 as in plants, there was practically a 

 clean-up. 



Club Meeting. 



At the last meeting of the Colorado 

 Florists' Club, held Tuesday evening, 

 April 4, there were present only about 

 a dozen members. This is the smallest 

 meeting this season, and it is hoped 

 that there will be a better attendance 

 next month.
