Netherlands Gardens and the Inside Inn at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, San Francisco., Cat. 



great deal of the way will be through 

 the noblest forest that mankind has 

 ever known. Many of the trees are 

 ten to twenty feet in diameter. The 

 trip can be made . either by steamer 

 from San Francisco to Eureka, or by 

 the Northwestern Pacific railroad and 

 special rates of fare will be provided 

 for. At Eureka the party will be 

 taken charge by citizens with auto- 

 mobiles. The plan contemplates a trip 

 to Strongs Station, on the Van Duzeu 

 river, thirty-five miles distant, with a 

 chicken dinner at the Wilson hotel. 

 The next move will be a run of ninety 

 miles to' Eequa, on the Klamath river; 

 then by motorboat up the Klamath to 

 Mr. Ward's Ah Pah ranch, which he 

 has fixed up for a sort of summer 

 camping place. He has a number of 

 small cabins and tents, so that from 

 twelve to fifteen people can be ac- 



commodated. Ah Pah ranch is in the 

 center of the redwood belt along the 

 Klamath. Tho climate is extraordi- 

 narily pleasant and agreeable during 

 the month of August. If any of the 

 visitors become combative, there are 

 bears and California lions to be had, 

 and there is fine trout fishing in Blue 

 creek and they have always been able 

 to get all the salmon they wanted for 

 table use. The illustration on page 

 14 will give an idea of the country 

 the party will go through. A week's 

 sojourn is contemplated at Ah Pah 

 ranch and the time can be put in to 

 good advantage by traveling over the 

 trails and seeing the enormous trees, 

 with canoe trips up the Klamath and 

 fishing expeditions up Blue creek. 



The return journey will be made 

 either down the river to Kequa, or 

 those who feel able to walk nine or 



ten miles can take the overland trail 

 to Boyes' ranch, on Prairie creek. This 

 trail trip is exceedingly fine and there 

 is splendid forest scenery along the en- 

 tire route. 



OABDENS AT THE EXPOSITION. 



To the florist visiting San Francisco 

 for the S. A. F. convention this month 

 the gardening features will be the ones 

 of special interest, and for the eastern 

 visitor there will be many sights of 

 old, familiar plants in new and un- 

 familiar form and use: Geraniums as 

 hedge plants; Mesembryanthemum crys- 

 tallinum, the ice plant, a nati^ of 

 California, growing in boxes placed' one 

 atop the other to form a living wall 

 1,500 feet in length. 



The European plant exhibits were 

 planned on a specially elaborate scale,
