CANON'S EXPERIENCE
SIMILAR TO BOULDER'S


A week or ten days ago Frank P.
Smith, secrtary of the local park COM
mission, addressed a letter to W. n.
Ruthvon of Boulder for the purpose of
ascertaining where the shrubbery,
which has been so advantageously
used in park improvement in that city,
could be obtained for similar work
here.
In reply Mr. Ruthvon said among
other things:
During the last few years there has
been a great deal of work done In
Boulder in the way of landscape gar
dening along the lines indicated in
your letter. At first the work met
with most pronounced opposition from
a large body of our people, who could
not see the sense of planting shrubs
and bushes instead of lawns and flow
ers exclusively. But those who had the
matter in charge met all opposition
with .just wait few years, and II you
then complain we will listen to you
The few years have passed and we
never hear anything but words OF
praise and commentator for the very
excellent effect of what has been done
Our Court House grounds, Chau-
tauuua Park and numerous private
properties which have been artistically
treated in this manner are now known
30
are Interested In such matters
The work here has all been done
under the supervision of one man. by
name W w Parce. He came here
from the East for his health after hav-
ing made famous record for himself
in some of the larger cities there. 9th
erwise we never could have secured a
man of his ability for what he has cost
MS. would recommend him TO Won
most heartily Consult with him at all
events before you turn wheel. You
will find him a man not at all inclined
to toot his own horn-indeed some of
his most earnest supporters here have
found fault with him for not being
more assertive and inclined to assail
those who have not been able TO see
beauty nndeveloped 7 would suggest
that you write him at once as our Park
commissioners have a good bit of work
cut out for him the coming season. I
believe
Yours Sincerely.
