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

section through a showy areh built of

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.
