the fruit display is SO extensive and of

to residents of our own state who have
failed to realize the rapid strides that
Oregon has recently been making in
fruit-growing. The horticultural and
agricultural exhibits are in charge of
Percival Nash, and in their arrangement
much taste has been displayed.
