The California Exhibit at the Louisville
Exhibition.
LOUISVILLE Ky, August ISth-0ne of |
the most interesting exhibits in the South |
ern Exhibition building is that from Cali |
torIla. IT occupies large amount of |
space in the north aisle of the eastern sec
ton, and there is no product of the Pacific |
slope that IS not found within its limits A |
main feature is the display of redwood. |
The display Of fruit is still more abundant.
and the fruit seems to emulate the big
trees, for much OF it is two or three times |
as large as can be produced III any other
part OF the country In the exhibit are
more than 1000 varieties. These are shown
preserved IN their natural state dried or
canned The tropical fruits seem to grow
side by side with those of our own climate
and have much more luscious appear
ance than have any of ours. The raisins |
are larger than any that are imported and |
the crab-appieS have grown to the size Of 4 |
large apple with Us. Not only fruit is eX- |
hibited but a great variety Of vegetables. |
There are also specimens of hops rye |
corn, wheat, oats barley and other grains |
In glass cases are over |, 900 kinds of grasses !
and flowers native to the Pacific coast |
The exhibits OF wines, brandies and other |
stssgaefs hat lsst made of
