The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Max 80, 1912. 



DENVER. 



The Market. 



The first few days of the week of 

 May 13 were cold and dark, and stock 

 was scarce. Carnations had beeni 

 picked closely to supply the demand 

 for Mothers' day and orders could not 

 be filled completely for three or four 

 days afterward. Then the sun came 

 out bright and hot, almost as hot as in 

 July, and since then carnations have 

 been plentiful. Tea roses in white and 

 red are not in oversupply; neither are 

 Beauties in short and medium lengths. 



The outlook for Decoration day is 

 more promising than it was a short 

 time ago. There is the assurance of a 

 good crop of carnations, roses and 

 sweet peas. Lilacs are in fine condi- 

 tion, for the first time in several years, 

 and will help out a great deal. No 

 one is planning much on cape jasmine 

 and it will likely be late. There will 

 be no snowballs; they are also late. 

 A few Pseonia officinalis rubra are 

 seen, but the other varieties of peonies 

 will not be out for a couple of weeks. 



The porch box and bedding business 

 is at its height, and all landscape gar- 

 deners are working day and night to 

 get their orders filled. 



Various Notes. 



The Columbine Floral Co. is the name 

 of a firm that opened a new store at 

 817 Fifteenth street last week. 



Thomas D. Long, of the Elitch-Long 

 Greenhouses, was taken to St. Joseph's 

 hospital. May 22, suffering from an 

 attack of appendicitis. The latest re- 

 port states that he is improving. No 

 operation was performed. 



The Coterie, of the Park Floral Co., 

 was entertained at dinner on Sunday 

 evening. May 19, by Mr. and Mrs. E. S. 

 Kennedy, at their home, 1960 Sherman 

 street. 



George Brenkert is anxious to sell or 

 lease his greenhouses. He feels that 

 after so many years of hard work, 

 during which time he has accumulated 

 a small fortune, he is entitled to take 

 a vacation and live on "Easy street" 

 for a while. 



The Daniels & Fisher Stores Co. and 

 the Park Floral Co. are getting ship- 

 ments of cut ferns from Oregon, which 

 are extra fine. 



Visitors: D. R. Gwillim, Victor, 

 Colo.; L. E. Highley, Hot Springs, S. 

 D.; A. Gude, Washington, D. C; Mrs. 

 F. A. Haenselman, Boulder, Colo. 



M. R. J. 



iWce Lake, Wis. — G. C. Soper is start- 

 ing in business here. His place will 

 be known as the Elm Grove Gardens. 

 C, A. Hannemann, proprietor of the 

 Rice Lick Greenhouses, is preparing to 

 put up another house 14x75 for carna- 

 tions, to keep pace with the steadily 

 increasing demand.

ABAUCARIAS. 6000 ]u8t received per Steamer 

 Liapland from Antwerp, Belgium, more coming 

 by next steamer. Arauoaria Excelaa, Eobuata 

 Compaota and Excelta Olauoa, palms, etc. Flo- 

 rists, you know we are leaders for the last 25 

 years in importing, growing and shipping this so 

 well known evergreen decorative plant, the 

 Arauoaria, more in favor now than ever. Almost 

 every florist knows our Araucarias, therefore no 

 argument is needed for our goods. We know 

 what our customers want and need, and have 

 provided for them and set aside special specimen 

 plants of the Spring Importation 1011. These 

 specimen plants will stand the climate every- 

 where and are especially adapted for decorating 

 iawDS, porches, verandas, bungalows, private 

 summer residences, hotels and boarding-houses 

 at the seashore or elsewhere. The prices in 

 Araucarias have advanced considerably this sea- 

 son in Belgium; even the freight charges of 

 the Red Star Line have advanced considerably, 

 but we did not advance our prices and are giving 

 every florist a show to fill those empty houses 

 and grow them for their fall trade.
