An effort is being made to secure for exhibition in the Horticultural 

 Department of the World's Fair a specimen of giant cactus from the desert region 

 of southeast California. The cactus grows at times to the height of seventy feet. 

 A specimen when boxed ready for shipment will weigh eight tons, and it will 

 require an expenditure of something like $2,500 to deliver it in good condition 

 in Chicago. 



Illinois will have an exhibit in its State World's Fair building of specimens 

 of all the indigenous woods of the State. In order to secure uniformity each 

 specimen will be about forty-two inches long and consist of a section of the tree 

 trunk. It will be cut in such manner as to show the grain from the surface to 

 the center. On each specimen will be painted a picture of the leaf and fruit of 

 the tree.
