PARK SUPERINTENDENTS TO MEET IN SEATTLE 
VIEW OF GROUNDS OF ALASKA-YUKON-PACIFIC EXPOSITION, SEATTLE, WASH. 
Showing Portion of English Tufted Pansy Bed (Viola Cornuta, Hybrids) Containing Over 200,000 Plant's, with Background of 
Mixed Peonies. 
The annual convention of the Amer- 
ican Association of Park Superintend- 
ents to be held at Seattle, Wash., 
August 9, 10 and 11, and Tacoma, Aug- 
ust 12 and 13, offers to the members 
and park men throughout the coun- 
try, an opportunity to see the W'on- 
derful natural park systems of these 
western cities, the unrivalled scenic 
wonders of the mountain country, and 
an exposition that surpasses any of 
its predecessors in careful planning of 
the grounds and landscape develop- 
ment. It is the chance of a lifetime 
to see these western wonders under 
expert guidance and in congenial com- 
pany and at reduced rates. Every 
park worker, or lover of nature, who 
can join this party whether a member 
of the association or not, will find 
unlimited pleasure and profit from 
this trip. 
The association plans to go in a 
body with several central points 
where individuals may meet the 
party, the chief places of gathering 
being at Boston, Chicago, Minneap- 
olis, Yellowstone Park and Spokane. 
The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposi- 
tion, the reason for the exodus to Se- 
attle, is of particular interest to park 
men, from the remarkably complete 
and successful effects in landscape de- 
velopment and planting, and its prox- 
imity to Mount Tacoma, and some of 
the grandest natural scenery in the 
world. The grounds were laid out 
by Olmsted Brothers, Brookline, 
Mass. 
One of the most interesting exhibits 
at the Exposition is the collection of 
photographs gathered under the aus- 
pices of this association. The scheme 
of such an exhibit was conceived and 
worked out by the President of the 
Association, John W. Duncan, of Bos- 
ton, and many of the leading Park 
Departments throughout the country 
willingly responded with their share 
of the work, so that the most repre- 
sentative exhibit of American Park 
Photographs ever gotten together is 
on exhibition and will be there till 
the close of the Exposition next Fall.
