Horticultural Exhibit Panama-Pacific Exposition 



[Editorial Bureau, Pannma-Pac 



THAT the horticultural exhibit at the 

 Panania-Pacilie International Expo- 

 sition at San Francisco will far surpass 

 in magnitude and general scope all pre- 

 vious exhibitions of the kind held any- 

 where is the opinion of experts who 

 have examined the exhibit in detail. 

 Fourteen acres will be devoted to hor- 

 ticultural purposes, five of these cov- 

 ered by the I'alacc of Horticulture, a 

 $341,000 structure with a great glass 

 dome 152 feet in diameter as the hot- 

 house center, and nine acres of outside 

 garden. The horticultural exhibit, within 

 the palace and without, will include 

 representative displays touching prac- 

 tically every important phase of horti- 

 culture as it is carried on in China, 

 Japan, England, Scotland, Ireland, Aus- 

 tralia, New Zealand, Canada, The Neth- 

 erlands, France, Italy, Argentina, Cuba, 

 the Philippines, Hawaii, and the follow- 

 ing slates of this continent: Oregon, 

 Washington, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Ne- 

 vada, California, Colorado, Missouri, 

 Kansas, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Indi- 

 ana, Ohio, Louisiana, New York, Massa- 

 chusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, 

 New Jersey, Florida and Maryland. 



As a whole the horticultural exhibit 

 of the exposition has been planned with 

 a fivefold purpose: to appeal with e(iual 

 interest to the tourist, the visitor, the 

 student, the business man and the in- 

 vestor. The tourist will see the pride 

 and the glory of the soil from the other 

 sections of the world. The visitor will 

 be entertaineil by the beauty and novel 

 wonder of all that is before him. The 

 student will find here an unexanijjled 

 opportunity to increase his knowledge 

 on all points i)ertaining to the horti- 

 culture of the earth. The business man 



iflr International Exposition] 



will find the exhibits of commercial 

 products so arranged as to permit the 

 placing of orders on the spot. And 

 the investor will be able to discover 

 through actual living evidence the pro- 

 ductive possibilities of soil from almost 

 every section of the earth. 



Every participating state and nation 

 will have part of its display in the out- 

 side garden. The Netherlands and the 

 State of Massachusetts will show their 

 exhibits outdoors exclusively. Holland's 

 unified exhibits were presented under 

 the auspices of the National Hoard of 

 Horticulture and will present the quint- 

 essence of lloral culture as it is carried 

 on by the famous growers of that coun- 

 try. A flowering mass of 00,(1(1(1 bulbs 

 is but an item in this gorgeous part of 

 the exposition. Trees which have at- 

 tained years of growth in their native 

 Dutch soil will be seen here. Rhodo- 

 dendrons, trained conifers and numer- 

 ous growing l)otanical specimens will 

 be seen, all set out in a landscape ell'ect 

 arranged by 1). T. Tersteeg, of Maarden, 

 Holland, the most noted of the land- 

 scape architects of his country. Massa- 

 chusetts' display will be representative 

 of the state and will be presented by 

 her most noted growers. It will be a 

 Colonial garden designed by Stephen 

 Chilli, one of the foremost of his pro- 

 fession in the I'nited States. Notable 

 features will be gladioli exhibits by 

 Arthur Cowes, John Lewis Child and 

 R. Hammond Tracy, the most noted 

 gladioli growers in America. There 

 will also be a magnificent assemblage 

 of stately carnations, .showing new var- 

 ieties. The California exhibit will in- 

 clude an extensive showing of Luther 

 Rurbank's famous creations. The Jai)a- 



nese garden will be a rare work of art 

 and will hold many surprises for the 

 exposition visitor. 



In that portion of the exhibit known 

 as the "Eastern garden" will be found 

 a magnificent exhibition of roses from 

 Rhode Island and Maryland, heliotropes 

 of extiuisite color and ricli fragrance 

 from New Jersey, and iris and peonies 

 from Pennsylvania. The rose competi- 

 tion has excited international interest. 

 A prize of .fl,000 has been offered by 

 the exposition to the grower producing 

 the finest rose, hitherto unnamed and 

 unexhibited, but which is to be brought 

 forth for the admiration of the world 

 at this exposition. The prize will be 

 awarded by an international .jury of 

 award and whatever rose receives the 

 award will be given a name commemo- 

 rative of the exposition that brought it 

 to fame. Among the renowned rose 

 growers who will have entries in this 

 contest are Hugh Dickson, Relfast, Ire- 

 land; Samuel McGredy & Son, Pots- 

 down, Ireland; E. Pernet Ducher, Ven- 

 issieux-Lyon, France; Dobbie & Son, 

 Edinburgh, Scotland; S. Hide & Son, 

 Farnham, Surrey, England; E. G. Hill, 

 Indiana; Hrant-Hentz Flower Company, 

 New Jersey. 



In the palace the visitor will find 

 beneath the great dome the exhibit of 

 Cuba, mycrocycus 1,000 years old, royal 

 palms, giant tree ferns, tropical lilies, 

 bamboo palms, breadfruit and banana 

 trees, mangoes, guanabana, cocoanut 

 trees and date palms in actual bearing. 

 Hawaii, Australia and the Philippines 

 will exhibit tropical displays, from the 

 Phili]3])ines coming one bed of 400 var- 

 ieties of orchids, all dilferent, but blend- 

 ing their wealth of colors in one pic- 

 turesque expanse of beauty. A feature 

 of Japan's display will be an aquarium 

 of gold fish, giving the typical Oriental 

 finish to the exhibit of rare specimens 

 from that country. 



The economic section of the horti- 

 cultural exhibit will also be housed in 

 the palace, the idea here being to show 

 plant life in its relation to actual life.
