The Florists' Revie\i^

An Outing. 



The Denver florists entertained the 

 Colorado Springs florists at a picnic Sat- 

 urday, August 1, at Elitch Gardens, a 

 delightful and popular pleasure resort 

 run in connection with the Elitch-Long 

 Floral Co. A party of forty arrived at 

 10 a. m. to spend Saturday and Sunday 

 with us. Automobiles were waiting to 

 take them over our splendid boulevard 

 and park system and then out to Elitch 

 Gardens, where dinner was served. 

 After dinner Denver's team beat the 

 Colorado Springs team in a close and 

 interesting baseball game, the score be- 

 ing 12 to 11. Mrs. Euby Hodgers won 

 first place in the married ladies' race. 

 The young ladies ' race was won by Miss 

 Uhra Schlesinger. Mr. Davis was the 

 victor in the young men's race. Carl 

 Lingenf elder won the fat men's race 

 by a small margin. He said he got his 

 training in the German army, only he 

 was not in the fat men's class then. 

 Prizes were given to all the winners. 



Supper was served in the gardens, un- 

 der the magnificent old apple trees that 

 are one of the gardens ' greatest charms. 

 In the evening everyone enjoyed a per- 

 formance of ' ' The Lottery Man, ' ' given 

 by the Elitch Gardens stock company. 



On Sunday the visitors were taken to 

 the places of interest about the city.

DISEASED ASTERS. 



Can you tell me what is the trouble 

 with my aster plants? The buds dry up. 

 I have sprayed with Paris green, but 

 the disease seems to continue. I am 

 sending a specimen plant. I. H. B. 



The condition of your asters would 

 seem to indicate a lack of moisture in 

 the soil. Either this or extremes of 

 moisture and dryness are likely to cause 

 the trouble. If you keep |jrour soil con- 

 stantly cultivated you will retain the 

 necessary moisture in the best possible 

 way. Spraying with Paris green or 

 other poisonous substances is useless ex- 

 cept in destroying insect pests, while 

 there is always grave danger that Paris 

 green will burn rather than benefit the 

 plants. Stir the ground thoroughly and 

 frequently. It will do far more good 

 than any spraying. C. W.
