BEAUTIFUL GARDENS IN AMERICA 



The marvellous growth of Banksia and Cherokee 

 Roses, the field of Marguerites, and the background of 

 snow-peaked mountains, all so characteristic of California, 

 belong to Canon Crest Park, an estate well known to 

 many travellers. Wonderful, too, are the Palms that 

 overarch the driveway, and beautiful the gardens and 

 panorama beyond. 



The Cactus planting of a San Diego garden is an in- 

 teresting study in the horticulture of California this 

 most favored State of the great Union.
