Carbone's Italian garden, with st;^tu- 

 ary, pergolas and a tasteful arrange- 

 ment of flowering and foliage plants,

 gainvilleas and amaryllis, MacMulkin 'a 

 group of plants and the Kobert Craig 

 < o. 's collection of crotoris in over luii

 ing shrubs and a wealth of other mate- 

 rial. The paths were of gravel and 

 liiiudreds of evergreen slirubs were used 

 to bank uji the exhibits. This feature 

 occupied ;i space i>.")xl2() and entailed a
