SAN DIEGO, OAL. 



With Perk Superintendent Morley. 



The risinfif importance of this beau- 

 tiful city is indicated by the rapid ad- 

 vance in the florists' business here. The 

 new stores continually being opened 

 seem only to make the others more 

 busy, proving that competition here, 

 as elsewhere, is the life of trade. The 

 nearest Pacific coast city to the Mex- 

 ican line, and therefore the nearest to 

 th Panama region, it was only to be 

 expected that San Diegans would make 

 a bold bid for the trade that is to fol- 

 low the opening of the canal, and this 

 they are doing. Scores of miles of splen- 

 did hard stone roads connect ^Jie park 

 system with the historic Port Lbma dis- 

 trict and the interesting Mission valley, 

 making ideal conditions for motorists, 

 while an excellent street car service is 

 at the command of those who need it, 

 reaching far out into the country and 

 to the beach resorts. 



I had the pleasure of a long ride 

 through this magnificent section re- 

 cently with John Morley, the park su- 

 perintendent here, and, while I should 

 'ike to mention more of the interesting 

 points visited — such as the old town 

 famous as the landing place of the 

 Franciscan friars, who did so much to 

 Civilize California, and the old mission 

 ~-I have perforce to keep to the level of 

 present-day matters and stick to what 

 Mr. Morley is doing with his immense 

 charge. 



The Exposition Grounds. 



The grounds being laid out for the 

 J91t Exposition, while quite distinct 

 "cm the parks, are yet part of the sys- 

 tem and will be included in this when 

 the show is over. What the park com- 

 mission is doing is to improve, with 

 good roads and suitable planting, hun- 

 dreds of acres of wild canyon and moun- 

 tain land. This land is so bad in many 

 P'a^'es that every hole prepared for a 

 "c'5 has to be "shot"; that is, a 

 charge of dynamite is placed in it to 

 ^"■''ak up the hardpan and allow the 

 'o«^'ts to work. The ground for .lawn

making has to be scored with dynamite 

 before anything else can be done to it 

 and this is the problem Mr. Morley 

 has to face. In addition, his last year's 

 planting had to suffer the worst freeze 

 in the history of California, so that 

 much of it will have to be gone over 

 again. But this kind of thing only 

 stirs him to greater activity and the 

 work is going ahead just as fast as 

 money and men can be found. 



Mr. Morley has wisely used much 

 native material in his planting, and the 

 California lilac, Ceanothus thyrsiflorus, 

 is here in several varieties. The cis- 

 tuses, ^r rock roses, has also been used 

 to good effect and numbers of native 

 perennials are being raised from seed 

 for use later. There are many wild 

 spots of great beauty that will not be 

 touched, except to plant a few firs, as

Mr. Morley says, to elevate the sky- 

 line. There is a great deal in knowing 

 what not to do, as well as what to do, in 

 a case of this kind. The new lath 

 house built in the nursery is full of all 

 classes of fine shrubs and herbaceous 

 stock in every stage of development, 

 from tiny seedlings to stock ready to 

 plant; so, if appropriations run low for 

 nursery stock, the good work will go 

 on just the same. Los Angeles lost a 

 good man in John Morley, but "it's an 

 ill wind," etc., and San Diego gets the 

 benefit.
