COLORADO WILD FLOWERS
MUSEUM PICTORIAL
ROBERTS
Copyright 1953, by Denver Museum of Natural History, Denver, Colorado
Lithographed in the United States of America by Bradford-Robinson Printing Company, Denver, Colorado
The original color films used for the plates on pages 15 and 26, were heretofore reproduced in different form in "American Wild Flowers"--Moldenke, published in 1949 by D. Van Nostrand Co., New York, with whose permission they are again reproduced here.
The pen and ink diagrams and sketches on pages 3, 60, 61, 62 and inside back cover, were prepared by Mary Chilton Gray, of the staff of Denver Museum of Natural History.
SOME COMMON COLORADO WILD FLOWERS
FOREWORD
The generous acceptance of the first seven numbers of MUSEUM PICTORIAL convinced the Trustees of the Denver Museum of Natural History that the publication is filling a definite need in the field of natural history reports. The subjects are so varied that a wealth of material is available.
The present issue is the first printed in color, and will, we hope, be followed by others. The authors, Harold and Rhoda Roberts, probably are the foremost photographers of wild flowers of Colorado and the Southwest. This field work has carried them from the tops of the highest mountains of Colorado to the depths of Death Valley. Their outstanding Kodachrome slides have been shown to many audiences and have appeared in publications. It is hoped that Museum Pictorial No. 8 will be the first of a series on Colorado wild flowers by the authors, which may eventually be compiled into book form.
Harold Roberts, prominent Denver attorney, is a Trustee of the Museum, and chairman of its Building Committee.
