 in green moss with the State boundaries marked in gray moss, was used to 

 give a graphic representation of the pomological products of each State. 

 Apples from 30 States were exhibited in variety groups, showing variations due 

 to the soil and climatic conditions where grown. Competitive exhibits of fruits, 

 grown by graduates of the college and by students now in attendance, were 

 also shown. In the vegetable garden section, broccoli, Oregon's new $25,000 

 winter crop, was given special prominence, while chrysanthemums formed the 

 main feature of the floral display. The entire show was staged in a replica 

 of the Tudor Gardens of England. 



The annual winter short course began January 8 and closed February 2. 

 One of its unique features was an apple packing school to instruct orchardists

 siderable number of new commercial orchards will come into bearing this 

 season for which no expert packing help may be available.
