ALL FLOWERS
GARDENS THAT HELP MAKE
GREELEY ATTRACTIVE
This City Pronounced By Many
Tourists as One of the
Most Beautiful in the
Country

The first impression of city, as
we'll as the first impression of man,
is gained from the clothes 1t, or he
wears.
Two things which add much to.
the attractiveness of Greeley are the
we'll kept lawns and the beautiful
flowers which are found at almost
every home.
In the daily rounds of the reporter
many visitors are met, leaving after
stays of few days or few weeks,
and the universal verdict of all is
that Greeley is one of the prettiest If
not the prettiest place ever visited.
And these people come from various
states and many have travelled ex-
tensively. They invariably speak of
the fine lawns and numberless flowers
which seem to have impressed them
more deeply than the buildings they
surround.
One lady said THE back yards
here are prettier and better kept
than the front lawns of many places
of this size l have visited"
Another said, II shall always
think OF Greeley as flower garden
for l never saw so many in one
town."
This, perhaps, has not beer. so no.
ticeable to US until it is brought to
our minds by outsiders and we have
not fully appreciated the beauty of
the town.
There are hat few homes IN town
without flowers. Even the busiest
of business and working men and the
housewives with the most cares find
little time to devote to flowers.
| Sweet peas and nasturtuims seem to
be the favorites as they bloom early
and still have blossoms after frost.
| Space here makes it impossible to
speak of more than few of the
gardens. Perhaps the largest and
best arranged OF these is found at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. T. ii. Dins-
more on Fifth street. Here almost
every flower one can imagine Is care
fully cultivated. There are ver-
benas, petunas, phlox. astors, sweet
williams, poppies and all of the old
fashioned flowers that grew in the
home garden back east, besides
Shasta daisys, golden glow and many
western flowers. Mr.. and Mrs. Dins-
more are proud of their collection OF
dahlias and we'll they may be. They
have twenty.four different varieties
of all shades and hues. One, the
MRS. Roosevelt" has blossoms five
inches in diameter. Another, double
white variety, cost them 50 for the
first bulb. These flowers are ad-
mired by all who pass.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ovid Plumb have
one lot that has been flower garden
for over thirty years, or since they
came here from New York, and it is
a continual mass OF bloom from early
spring until late fall. They have
quantities of phlox, day lilies and
golden glow, all hardy and thrifty
and they make handsome appear
ance mixed with vines and New Eng
land ferns.
DR.. j. X. Miller, j. A. Weaver
and l. Rothschild each have beautt-
full back yards with nicely planned
flower gardens where great variety
of plants are found.
j. Max Clark has one of the pref
tiest yards in Greeley. The lawns,
walks and drives are artistically lald
off and they have all of the usual
shrubs and flowers and many unusual
ones.
Daniel Hawks has an attractive
home because of the many vines
which cover the house, fences, an
arbor and surround the flower garden.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Randolph have
for years had one of the best flower
gardens here.
Then there is the Harper place on
Eleventh street, the William Mahyer
place, corner of Eleventh street and
Eighth avenue, the Jesse Gale place
on Eleventh avenue, the Delbridge
place on Eleventh street and many
others that have beautiful front or
back yard flower gardens.
