title: Panoramic view of the harbor and Avalon city, Santa Catalina Island, ca.1914

description: Photograph of a panoramic view of the harbor and Avalon city, Santa Catalina Island, ca.1914. A decline railway car runs from the top of the hill (at right) down to an amphitheater located at a lower elevation within the recess of the hills and forest (at left). Residential and commercial buildings are scattered throughout the land. A majority of them reside near the pier (center left). About several dozen ships in the harbor are cruising or parked near the pier. An extension to the pier is still being constructed.; "One of Catalina's most notable transactions took place in 1887 when investors of the Lick estate resold Catalina for $200,000 to George Shatto. Shatto, a businessman and entrepreneur, was perhaps ultimately responsible for the Catalina we know today. He intended to turn the island into a tourist resort, beginning his five-year reign by surveying the land and building a hotel. To expand Avalon's tourist base further, Shatto used steamships he leased from the Bannings to ferry tourists to and from the mainland. Some island tourists arrived to purchase lots in Avalon, which Shatto auctioned off for $150 to $2,000 depending on location and size. Those who purchased one were then free to set up tents or build summer cottages. However, Shatto racked up some hefty bills and defaulted on his mortgage payments. He soon thereafter lost the island. So what happened next? Wrigley's most prized accomplishment was the construction of the famed Casino in 1929, which Wrigley figured would improve his revenues by attracting more tourists. Though the Casino was never used for gambling, it was a place for people to gather and enjoy some camaraderie and entertainment. It held a variety of functions following its grand opening, but the Casino's earmark during this era was ballroom dancing to the live music of a big band." -- unknown author.

title: Specimen of four wild hyacinth flowers blossoming, ca.1920

description: Photograph of a specimen of four wild hyacinth flowers blossoming, ca.1920. The four lightly-colored blooms are pictured against a dark background.; "This is a group of hardy bulbs that bloom in the spring. They are mostly natives of the Mediterranean region and the Orient. A few grow wild in tropical Africa. They have bright green strap-like leaves and long spikes with dense clusters of fragrant, colorful flowers that come in whites, blues, reds, yellows, and pinks. Hyacinths can be grown in gardens, greenhouses, or in pots inside. They can also be grown in glasses of water (preferably rainwater) and a few pieces of charcoal to keep the water sweet. The bases of the bulbs should be just above the water and they should be set in a cool, dark place until the roots are growing good. They should gradually be brought into a light area. Water should be added occasionally as needed. The large-flowered variety used for potting are great for growing in glasses." -- unknown author.

It is salt tolerant, drought tolerant and tolerates low temperatures making it useful in elevated areas and for planting on windswept slopes. Carobs do well on poor, sandy, calciferous soil and limestone soil. The pods are used in making candies and chocolate substitutes, eaten fresh or fed to animals. The timber provided by culled males trees is of good quality and the abundant flowers are a good source of nectar and draw honeybees into mixed plantings." -- unknown author.
