DENVER FLOWER SHOW. 



Largest on Record. 



The fourth annual flower show, held 

 in the city auditorium under the aus- 

 pices of the Denver Society of Orna- 

 mental Horticulture November 2 to 4, 

 was in every respect the largest thing 

 ever accomplished by the florists of this 

 city. The show was free and it is esti- 

 mated that 50,000 people viewed the 

 spectacle. 



The most- extensive dispLiya were 

 made by the Park Floral Co. and the 

 Mauff Floral Co. The main display of 

 the Park Floral Co. occupied the center 

 of the auditorium and consisted of pot- 

 ted plants arranged in a garden effect. 

 This firm had a table decorated with 

 baskets containing chiefly mums and 

 also a beautiful arrangement of orna- 

 mental foliage plants. 



The contribution of the Mauff Floral 

 Co. consisted of three baskets, one in 

 red, white and blue and a second fea- 

 turing mums in fall colors. Together 

 with many good foliage plants was 



found Mr. Mauff 's Christmas pepper, 

 originated by himself. 



The city park department, under the 

 management of John L. Russell, made 

 elaborate arrangements of foliage 

 j)lunts, palms and cut mums. 



The Elitch Gardens Co. had a display 

 of cut flowers of fine commercial quality. 

 Its carnations were especially good. A 

 table of potted plants consisting of cyc- 

 lamens and begonias and also a dispiay 

 of three immense Boston and Roosevelt 

 ferns formed a unique feature. 



C. F. Maler had a good arrangement 

 of potted plants and orchids set off with 

 table ferns, which attracted widespread 

 attention. 



The Crown Hill Florists were present 

 with a quaint exhibit duplicating the 

 interior of their new store. They had 

 some well grown Turner, Waitc and 

 Robinson mums. 



The Rockmont, Inc., displayed chiefly 

 mums in fall colors arranged in baskets. 

 The baskets were in competition and 

 the elaborate table decorations were 

 also entered. 



The Alpha Floral Co. accomplished a 

 beautiful blending of fall colors in bas- 



ket arrangements of cut flowers that 

 showed the work of an artist. 



Others Represented. 



The following were also present with 

 displays that commanded attention: 

 American Flower Shop, with Scott Key 

 roses; Boldt-Lundy Floral Co., with But 

 terfly roses, white and yellow Turner 

 mums, ferns, cyclamens and decorative 

 plants; the Bright Spot Greenhouses, 

 with garden flowers; George H. Cooper, 

 with an elaborate basket arrangement, 

 not in competition; Daniels & Fisher, in 

 competition with an arrangement of 

 Madame Butterfly; D. S. Grimes; the 

 Holly Floral Co., with pompons and 

 other mums; T. H. Trimmer & Son, with 

 Duiilop and Russell; Roberts Rose Co., 

 with American Legion, Pilgrim, Premier 

 and Scott Key roses; the Washington 

 Park Florists, with the new carnation, 

 Denver; George Brenkert, with three 

 new carnations; the Pikes Peak Floral 

 Co., of Colorado Springs, Mrs. William 

 Crump and L. J. Armstrong in charge; 

 and Glenn Eyrie, of Colorado Springs, 

 with Pockett, Turner and Nagirroc 

 mums, some of them measuring seven 

 teen inches in length. 



The most commented upon throughout 

 the entire show were the excellent forms 

 and rich colors of the roses Dunlop, But- 

 terfly, American Legion and Francis 

 Scott Key. Competition was so keen 

 that it became necessary to rejudge
