CHICAGO EXPOSITION 



FRUITS AND FLOWERS AT THE FAIR 



The horticultural display at the Exposition will 

 surpass all previous ones, and will be beauti- 

 ful beyond description. 



The horticultural display at the World's Fair will be bewil- 

 dering in extent and marvelous in beauty. The exhibit will 

 possess great scientific and educational value, but to the 

 ordinary visitor its ornamental features will be the most 

 striking. Indeed, it will play an important part in the adorn- 

 ment of the great Imposition. While in almost every part of 

 the Exposition grounds may be seen gratifying evidences of. 

 the very efficient work of the Horticultural Department, the 

 central point of interest will naturally be in the exhibit in 

 the Horticultural building. This structure is 998 feet long 

 and has an extrême width of 250 feet. Its plan is a central 

 pavilion with two end pavilions, each connected with it by 

 front and rear curtains, forming two interior courts, each 

 88 by 270 feel. Surmounting the central pavilion is a beauti- 

 fully proportioned dome, 187 feet in diameter and 113 feet 

 high. 



In the south pavilion of the building will be installed the 

 viticultural exhibit, embracing all varieties of wine and every- 

 thing pertaining to its manufacture. An idea of how complete 

 this part of the exhibit will be can be gained from the fact 

 that applications fort space have already been received from 

 thirty- three foreign countries. From abroad the exhibits of 

 France, Germany, Spain and Italy will be especially notable. 

 A fine exhibit of Chilean wines and raisins, famed for Iheir 

 superior quality, will be made. California will make a splendid 

 display, all of the great firms being exhibilors and having 

 applied for much more space than can possibly be allowed
