son and R. r. McMurry, members OF the
state worlds fair commission, paid
visit to Pasadena today for the purpose
of inspecting the collection of Southern
California trees and floral exhibits that

Nursery company, corner Colorado street
and Pasadena avenue.
They were entertained by their col
league, Councilman T. p. Lukehs. The
horticultural collection, which is under
the supervision of Mr.. Richardson, is most
handsome and well kept, and will we'll
repay visit. The young Washington
navel oranges are looking especially fine,
hanging full of golden fruit. A later
variety of oranges are still small, and 1t
is hoped that the fruit on them will
hang on during the exhibition.
The collection includes almost every
variety of California foliage, and will
make an exhibit that any Californian
may we'll be proud of. All trees and
shrubs ara kept boxed, all ready for
shipment, 80 they need not be disturbed
when the time comes for removal.
