The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mabch 14, 1912. 



DENVER. 



The Market. 



Not for many months, and perhaps 

 not for years, has there been anythinj^ 

 to compare with the conditions of the 

 last few weeks. There has been prac- 

 tically no business, and the quantity 

 of stock coming in has been simply 

 appalling. The grower, as well as the 

 retailer, has been kept busy dumping 

 his surplus. Carnations have been 

 brought in by the wagon load, but 

 most of the time they could not be sold 

 at any price. They have been offered 

 at retail at 25 cents a dozen, but did 

 not sell even at that figure. Tea roses 

 are more plentiful, but the demand is 

 so slight as to make absolutely no im- 

 pression. There are plenty of long and 

 short Beauties, but none of a medium 

 grade. On account of the cold weather, 

 corsage bouquets for street wear have 

 been out of the question and the sale 

 of violets has dropped off materially., 



The long, hard winter has had a de- 

 pressing effect on greenhouse men. The 

 greater part of the time since last No- 

 vember the thermometers have regis- 

 tered near the zero mark, and all that 

 has been obtained from the sale of 

 flowers, and in some instances more, has 

 been spent for coal. 



Various Notes. . 



The last meeting of the Colorado 

 Florists' Club, held March 4 at T. M. 

 A. hall, was only fairly well attended^ 

 probably on account of the extremely 

 cold weather. In the absence of Presi- 

 dent A. H. Bush, E. S. Kennedy pre- 

 sided. W. Wilmore, Jr., read a paper 

 on "Dahlias." It was found neces- 

 sary to change the meeting place, and 

 a committee was appointed to find one 

 before the next meeting, which will be 

 held April 1. 



Several florists have been on the sick 

 list recently. A. H. Bush, of the Dan- 

 iels & Fisher Stores Co., was home for 

 a week with a slight attack of appen- 

 dicitis. B. E. Gillis, of the Park Floral 

 Co., has been confined to the house for 

 a week. Frank Eraser, of the Alpha 

 Floral Co., has returned to work, after 

 being out about two weeks. 



Milton Freeman, an employee of C. 

 F. Maler, has the sympathy of the 

 trade in the loss of his wife. A short 

 time ago his little daughter was killed 

 by a fall from a moving street car. 



The Elitch-Long Co. has taken a 

 third interest in the Dutch Mill, the 

 other members of the firm being Jane 

 Pearse and T. C. Bennett. Additional 

 space has been obtained, and a full 

 line of plants has been put in. 



Visitors: S. Seligman, of Wertheimer 

 Bros., New York; G. Fleischer, Pueblo; 

 D. E. Dungan, Limon; Ed. Johnson, 

 John Berry, J. W. Smith and Henry 

 Monaghan, Colorado Springs; Colo.
