THE LARGEST MAP. 



Growing on six acres of a gentle 

 southern slope of Tesson Hill at the 

 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. 

 Louis, is to be the largest geographically 

 correct map ever constructed. The map 

 is 480 feet long from east to west and 

 extends from north to south 240 feet. 

 The map is to be the main feature of the 

 large open air exhibit by the Bureau 

 of Plant Industry of the Department 

 oi Agriculture, and is personally super- 

 intended by D. A. Brodie. The idea is 

 to show the United States, with growing 

 crops planted as per the natural distri- 

 bution. 



The several acres were fenced off earlv 

 in April, and the entire tract was richly 

 fertilized. The ground was plowed and 

 harrowed, the suil pulverized, and the 

 entire tract sowed to cow peas. This 

 crop not only enriches the soil, but pre- 

 vents the growth of weeds. When an 

 exhibit is ready to be installed the gar- 

 deners simply pull up the cow peas cov- 

 ering the space required, for the ground 

 then requires but little work. 



A belt, of blue grass lawn 20 feel u ide 

 establishes the boundary and coast lines 

 of this gigantic map. The boundary 

 lines between the states are marked 

 by cinder paths three feet wide. That 

 part comprising the fourteen states and 

 territories of the Louisiana Purchase is 

 marked by a white gravel walk. Xot 

 only will the products of each state be 

 shown on this map by growing crops. 

 but the section of the state on which 

 each commodity is most grown will be 

 shown. 



Woodstock. Ont. — A. H. Ewing re- 

 ports a lively interest in the Canadian 

 Horticultural Association, which holds 

 its sixth convention at Toronto Septem- 

 ber 2 and 3. 



Middletowx, O. — Henry Behrens has 

 his stock in good shape in his recently 

 remodeled greenhouse. 



Des Moines, Iowa. — The articles of 

 incorporation of the New Iowa Bird 

 Company declare its objects to be to 

 buy and sell seeds, floral stock, cut 

 flowers, birds, aquarium supplies, etc. 

 The incorporators are P. W. Madden, G. 

 E. Madden and T. G. Rickman. 



St. Louis, Mo.— The World's Fair 

 rose garden has now been increased to 

 six acres. The site has proven all that 

 was expected and the plants are making 

 splendid progress. 



Bloomsburg, Ta. — Reports as to the 

 season's work of Queen Louise carna- 

 tion seem to have justified J. L. Dillon's 

 faith in it. 



Ottumwa. Ia. — C. Kranz reports the 

 spring trade seriously interfered with 

 i>\ ili continuous wet weather. 



Big EAnos, Mich. — C. M. Buskirk is 

 building two greenhouses 18x100 for 

 roses and carnations. 



Please stop the advertisements in the 

 Review. It's all right selling what's on 

 hand, but a fellow wants to kick him- 

 self when orders come in and he hasn't 

 any plants left. I will have something 

 else to offer in a few weeks. — August 

 Becker, Columbia, S. C.
