That portion of the Horticultural building- which is devoted to the ponio logical exhibit has always attracted the attention of world's fair visitors. Many beautiful thines may be seen, but everybody is willing' to concede that the Los Anjreles tower. H ftet hijra and covered entirely with o ranges, is the center of attraction. Them are 1S.573 oranpes in this monument- An original and pleasing feature of this desijrn is the border of small branches of the equally famous California redwood, which marks the horizontal angles "of the base with dark green lines. At the opposite end of the wing- a table 52 feet long- and Bt feet wide, the largest in the build ing, is occupied by special exhibits from Saa Bernardino and San Diego counties and by the second display of Los Angeles county, a liberty bell 0 feet in diameter and 5;i feet hU,'h, male of covering of gray mos, gath ered from forest trees along- the coast near Santa Barbara. The decorative effect of the frame is increased by the use of pretty little tangerines set on at intervals like jeweled nail heads half buried in the moi The bell is surrounded by a larire exhibit of fresh citrus fruits in their seasons. Adjoin ing" the bell on one side is the San Dicg-o design, which includes a lare pyramid of oranges a smaller one of lare anil perfect grape fruits and other patterns Worked out with the rarious fruits. A correspondent of American Garden-irit-.an authority on everything- pertaining- to fruit growing, considers the dis playsof preserved potnaeeou.", stone and small fruits made by states from Maine to California and by several Canadian provinces bewildering-. This is partly due to their seeming similarity, and again to finding sr. -h variety and cx- I celier.ee ia climates and locations that one has learned to think of as rich ia I other lines but poor in fruits Bnt if there has heretofore been in our minds a connection between Canada and furs and between Oregon and salmon we shall have to recast our minds to meet the conditions in those and other places, as proved by the array of at tractive edible fruits shown at the ex position. In fresh or (,-recn fruits the exhibits are also lar'e. Ontario shows ""." p!at--s of fresh apples of L3 varieties. The exhibits of stored fruits are also lar-re and important from other prov incesNova Scotia, Quebec and Prince Edward's Island. MNsouri probably has the prettiest fixtar. s ia the hall, but here. too. the fruit is the exhibit. The woodwork is all pale ivory, piqued out with i.I.l. A better setting for the glowing or delicate tints of the fruit could not be found. Some tiny jars, each holdinj a few specimens of small fruits are par ticularly pleasing. All the fruit shown in this section was frown in Howell county, on the southern slope of the Ozark mountains in the heart of the Missouri fruit belt, where the red vol canic soil is said to impart rich color ing and fine flavor to both peaches and apples lkn Davis is the leading apple in the exhibit, and it is much finer than the same variety prown in the north eas.tern states Peaches of several va rietiesnot less than a dozen bear two crops each year. The first ripens iu July. and contistsof largeand hand some fruit; the second ripens late in September, and is as much better in flavor as it is smaller in size. The (nly advantage claimed for the double crop lies in the fact that as soon as the sec ond crop begins to ripen it is chosen for home consumption by the em ployes who are peach epicures and the bi late market peaches with far liner complexions are unmolested. Illinois was late in getting her ex hibit under way, owing- to the delay in receiving' an appropriation. The ex hibit is now an attractive one, how ever, and it is also large. The tables or shelves are entirely covered with looking glass, so that the extent of the exhibit is apparently augmented. Ben Davis Janet, Wine-sap and Borne Beauty apples "in long and glowing rows attract much comment. The first fresh berries were also seen in the Il linois section. Iowa, Wisconsin end Maine show at tractive fruits in lonjr unbroken lines Oregon has a surprisingly large and showy exhibit. The long tables are made of thirty-two hinds of native woods, and are admirably designed for displaying a large and very fine col lection of fruits in jars, because they are unbroken by columns or partitions Washington and Colorado occupy ad joining sections and the former has one of the best displays in the entire building. Idaho, the so-called "baby state," is, judging by its products a remarkable infant, precocious to a de gree and wonderfully well grown some might think even overgrown, if the great sizes of the fruits are to be accepted as criterions There are plenty of blue pearmain apples that weighed from eighteen to twenty three ounces when picked, and, as a curiosity, a plate of apples of the crop of "is shown. All of the fruit shown was grown by irrigation, and most of it is from the fertile Snake river valley. The New York state fruit exhibit is marked by two unique features that ret it apart from all others First, it is the only state that has omitted anti-reptically-preserred fruit from its col lection. Everything- shown in jars (which is very little) is regularly pre terred in sugar, and is edible. The recond feature first in order of impor tance is the marked educational char r.eter given the display by adding to the name cards of the most desirable varieties of app!es a concise statement of their merits, habits and needs At the north end of the northwest curtain one passes into the Florida section through a showy areh built of golden russet orange, from which ue penia a deep fringe of soft gray south ern moiis while above and beyond it rise the treat leaves of a cocoanut tre.

The la.' t is sad to be delicious for all of the purposes to which fruit sirups are commonly put, as well as a substitute for maple sirup. Two fruits are shown that are grown in no other state in the onion pine apples and cocoa nuts both very valua ble commercially. The cocoanut tree thrives in the southern half of the Irr insula part of the state only, while the pine is successfully grown consid trably farther north, the cocoa be i:'!j' much more sensible to cold than the pine, while it. ia .turn, i i far more susceptible to in jury from a low temperature than the range. The pineapple is propagated l-y setting out the o2 shoots that stand tiefensively around the ripened fruits. Each plant is good for three pines one the Crst year and two the second and last year of its existence. The top of the cocoa tree on exhibition is from Lake Worth. Its great leaves from twenty to twenty-tve feet in length, and its cluster of nuts in their thick preen cases or husks are a novelty to the majority of visitors As the stump of the same tree is shown, as well a nuts ti. rawing out roots and sprouts one gains an insight into the habits and appearance of the cocoanut plant. The stump is about twenty-four inches in diameter, the entire tree some sixty feet in height and its age is given by the state representative as thirteen years lie is also tho authority for the following fact--.: The cocoa bears fruit at the a re of six years and pro duces from three to fti:r hundred null every year. The tuts arc planted in rather shallow holes and lightly covered- They soon sprout, two of the three eyes seen iu one end of every nut (in which children trace a fancied resemblance to a monkey's face) send out roots, and from the third grows the top.
