The Market. 



The crisis is passed, and the great glut 

 which existed three weeks ago is no 

 more. There is still a good supply of 

 all kinds of stock, but most of it is be- 

 ing disposed of in some way, and the 

 loss is only a fraction of what it was. 

 Special sales of carnations on Saturdays 

 have made an outlet for an abundance 

 of stock, and, although the price was 

 comparatively low, it saved paying for 

 hauling the flowers to the dump. 



American Beauties are scarce in all 

 grades, but noticeably in the medium 

 lengths. There are a few more tea roses 

 than are absolutely necessary. 



"Whether this year's Easter business 

 will be as good as in previous years 

 is the prevailing question. For about 

 two months everything has been exceed- 

 ingly dull with most of the retailers, 

 and they are depending almost entirely 

 on their Easter trade to straighten up 

 the bills that have accumulated since 

 Christmas. 



Various Notes. 



The Elitch-Long Greenhouses are sup- 

 plying the cut flowers and plants used 

 in the store at Fifteenth and Arapahoe 

 streets, which opened three weeks ago. 



The funeral of Mrs. Mary B. Gillis, 

 mother of B. E. Gillis, of the Park Flo- 

 ral Co., took place March 21. Mrs. Gillis 

 was in her eighty-first year, and was 

 loved by all who knew her. The sym- 

 pathy of the trade is tendered Mr. Gillis. 



Theodore Loken has become a partner 

 of Thos. McDonald, and they will to- 

 gether operate the flower store at Fif- 

 teenth and Cheyenne streets, where they 

 expect to do a large plant business 

 this spring. 



The Elitch-Long Greenhouses held 

 their annual exhibition of Easter plants 

 in the theater at Elitch's Gardens on 

 Palm Sunday. Cards were sent by mail 

 inviting the . re^Dipat^jto meet the 

 "Misses EasfBr "iV, ' W<irangea, Aza-
