PBEPABATION FOB EXPOSITION. 



Another era in the progress of prep- 

 aration for the Panama-Pacific Inter- 

 national Exposition will open this 

 month, when the work of transplanting 

 thousands of trees and shrubs from the 

 Presidio nurseries to the exposition 

 grounds will begin on a large scale 

 under the supervision of John Mc- 

 Laren, landscape engineer, assisted by 

 his son, Donald McLaren. 



Of no less significance in the devel- 

 opment of the exposition site is the 

 preparation of the soil for the great 

 South Garden, a tract of about fifteen 

 acres, lying between the already com- 

 pleted service building and the Baker 

 street entrance to the grounds. This 

 large area of flowers and decorative 

 trees and bushes will surround the 

 Palace of Horticulture and the Festi- 

 val Hall. The grading of the South 

 Garden is nearly completed. Kich 

 loam from the fertile valleys of Cali- 

 fornia is being spread over it, and on 

 top of this tons of fertilizer are being 

 laid, as in the case of the esplanade 

 of the Marina, along the bay shore to 

 the north, which is now verdant with 

 grass grown from seeds planted but a 

 few weeks ago. 



For months John McLaren and his 

 son have been gathering trees, shrubs, 

 plants and flowers from all quarters of 

 the earth, and several acres of land in 

 Tennessee Hollow, on the Presidio mili- 

 tary reservation, have been turned into 

 nurseries and conservatories to receive 

 them. Here they have been nurtured 

 preparatory to transplanting. 



The horticultural treasures are among 

 the sights of the exposition grounds 

 during the period of preparation. In 

 the Presidio nurseries are more than 

 200,000 trees, shrubs and plants. The 

 trees are in boxes, stayed with wire to 

 keep them from upsetting. Some are 

 placed along the driveways leading 

 through the reservation; others are in 

 clusters or small groves in convenient 

 spots. The plants and flowers are in 

 beds and conservatories, and even in 

 their present temporary resting places 

 are delights to the eye. 



The first trees to be transplanted will 

 be the acacias, veronicas, pines, cy- 

 presses and eucalypti. There will be 

 several varieties of each of these, par- 

 ticularly the pines and acacias. The 

 transplanting will begin with the trees 

 and shrubs for the esplanade of the 

 Marina and there will be representa- 

 tives of many lands among them. For 

 instance, there will be acacias and euca- 

 lypti from Australia, palms from Cen- 

 tral America and the Canary Islands, 

 pines from Norway and Alaska, cedars 

 from Japan, cypresses from Italy, and 

 so on through a long list. 



It is expected that all the trees, 

 shrubs and plants for the exposition 

 will be transplanted from the Presidio 

 nurseries and conservatories to their 

 final beds on the grounds by the 

 autumn of 1914, in ample time for 

 them to take firm root and grow vigor- 

 ously before the exposition opens, Feb- 

 ruary 20, 1915. 



The South Garden will be more than 

 a garden. It will be a horticultural ex- 

 hibit in itself, for it will include large 

 numbers of beautiful and rare trees 

 and shrubs, and myriads of wonderful 

 flowers will be placed in its several 

 flower beds. The world has been ran- 

 sacked for the best sp^cimeng of its 

 flora, and wtth sneh success that the 

 Panama-Pacific Exposition will present
