DENVER. 



The Market. 



Commencements and weddings have 

 kept things moving since Decoration 

 day, and though there have not been 

 any large affairs, the aggregate has 

 been satisfactory. Carnations are ar- 

 riving in quantities. There is so much 

 work to be done that it is impossible 

 to clean out the benches as quickly as 

 desirable, and the only thing to do is 

 to cut the carnations and send them in. 

 This will not continue long, and it is 

 only a question of a few days when 

 carnations will be scarce. Some peo- 

 nies are coming in, but it will be a 

 week or more before there is a quan- 

 tity. Sweet peas have been the prime 

 favorites for both graduations and wed- 

 dings, and at no time has there been 

 a great surplus. 



Bedding plants have found good sale, 

 and some lines are almost cleaned out. 

 Vincas in 4-inch and smaller sizes are 

 scarce. The sale of fern leaves has 

 fallen off, now that the gardens are sup- 

 plying green. 



Various Notes. 



The Boldt-Lundy Flower Shop was 

 opened on Monday, June 3, at 614 Six- 

 teenth street. This is in the heart of 

 the shopping district and is one of the 

 best locations, especially for transient 

 trade. The store is quite attractive, 

 being painted white, and the mirrors 

 on either side give an appearance of 

 great width. S. Lundy, one of the pro- 

 prietors, was formerly a Denver man, 

 having worked for the Park Floral Co. 

 several years ago. Eecently he had 

 been traveling salesman for the A. L. 

 Randall Co., Chicago, but resigned that 

 position a short time ago to take up 

 his present work. Ben Boldt has been 

 in the greenhouse business for a num- 

 ber of years, and is considered one of 

 Denver's best growers. He has made a 

 specialty of fine plants and has been 

 most suecessfuL 



Miss C. Culp, of Littleton, Colo., has 

 sold her place to Miss Susie Cook, who 

 will conduct the business under the 

 name of the Littleton Floral Co. Miss 

 Culp has gone to Greeley, where she 

 will attend the normal school. 



The S. Ban Co. has a lot of imported 

 Japanese plants on display at 824 Fif- 

 teenth street. Among them are some 

 fine dwarf maples. 



After being in business about a week, 

 the Columbine Floral Co. gave up its 

 store, at 817 Fifteenth street. 



The Park Floral Co. recently received 

 a shipment of bays, but some of the 

 extra large specimens were so badly 

 dried out that it is feared they cannot 

 recover. These larger ones were im- 

 • ported especially for exhibition at the 

 coming flower show, and their loss is a 

 great disappointment in several ways. 



The roses grown by Emil Glauber are 

 undoubtedly among the finest in Den- 

 ver. His Killarneys are elegant. 



S. Knudsen, of Boulder, has some 

 Cattleya Mossiae which are now ready 

 to cut. Not many orchids are grown 

 in this vicinity, the climate being too 

 dry, and nearly all those used are 

 shipped in.
