BEAUTIFYING WASHINGTON. 



The campaign for the beautification 

 of Washington is in full swing. The 

 Peoples' Garden Association is deter- 

 mined to make this capital one of the 

 most beautiful in the world, and the 

 Association numbers among its mem- 

 bers some of the wealthiest, brainiest, 

 and most enterprising of Washington's 

 citizens. One of the most enthusiastic 

 advocates is President Fairchild, whose 

 connection with the Department of 

 Agriculture makes him eminently 

 fitted for the task he has imposed 

 upon himself. In the opinion of Mr. 

 Fairchild, Washington is peculiarly 

 well situated and possesses a combi- 

 nation of circumstances absolutely 

 unique to aid in the beautification of 

 the city. Washington's street and ave- 

 nue trees are already famous and the 

 city owes a great debt of gratitude 

 and appreciation to William R. Smith, 

 superintendent of the U. S. Botanical 

 Garden, as the leading spirit in the 

 planting of these trees which have 

 done more than any other feature to 

 make Washington attractive and 

 healthful.
