series of exhibits, is that made by Azusa.

| tractingly displayed in pyramids, circles,
banks and other forms. These have all
! been wrought out artistically and their
; beauty further enhanced by native and
garden flowers, ferns, smilaX, banana
/ plants and date fronds. A splendid speci-
men of the Woodwardia or so-called chain
/ fern is one of the features of the floral and
( arboreal decorative effects. Mr.. Need

/ box of cut flowers which he generously

J over one thousand choice bouquets were
! thus given away. This gentleman has on
j hand few citrus freaks which do not
: fail to arouse the interest of the curl sity
! seekers. Anon them is an Eureka lemon
which is three and one-half inches long
! with a diameter in its thickest part of
! less than half an inch. Perhaps the most
interesting exhibit in this display is a
/ / ng bank of Eureka, Lisbon and Villa
1 Franco lemons trimmed handsomely with
; smilax, roses and Gala lilies.

very choice.
Still under the east gallery, there will
be found an exhibit made by Mrs. Short
ing of South Pasadena, consisting of Sc
vile orange marmalade, guava Jelly, Cape
and ordinary gooseberry preserves and
other good things. They are put up at
tractively and cannot but appear tempting
to the housekeeper, whether living East
or West. ID. d. johnson of Norwalk hows
some large specimens of the citron OF
commerce. S. NJ. Woodbridge of this city
has an exceedingly interesting and novel
exhibit, consisting OF the citrus fruit pro-
ducts. These range all the way from
marmalade to spirits OF turpentine and
from orange and lemon essences to char
coal Mr. Woodbridge has no less than
twenty three products from citrus growths,
a close study of which will prove fascinat
ing to anyone, but more especially, per-
haps, to the chemist and student.

He also has lot of very even and bright
oranges included in his display.
In front of the stage and occupying
that portion OF the floor from the center
east, is Pomona S exhibit This display
is large enough, bright enough and
artistic enough to attract everyone's at
tehtion. There is no need to ask as one
approaches it Whose or what exhibit
is this?" The display itself tells the story
for on the raised and extended ground
of lemons there is done in oranges and
describing large, bold letters the name
Pomona. The word is divided in the CEN
ter, and there on an elevation of square
form are number of orange pyramids
grouped around one large pyramid. The
fruits entering into this display-and the
number of pieces must be enormous-are
as perfect as nature ever fabricated or
man ever handled and arranged in artistic
form. The in Pomona however is
fashioned in bark blood fruit, while all
the other oranges entering into the
composition of the name are bright speci-
mems. Judge +. A. Newell, who has
this magnificent display in charge, was
asked why the one letter was in blood or
anges while the others were of the higher
navels; why he had not shaded the name
from one end to the other instead of con-
centrating all the ruby color into one
single letter. The Judge replied that
there was method III his madnes; that
the plan seen carried out was for a pur-
pose ana that the purospe was meeting
every expectation imposed upon it. 1t was
to attract attention. 1t was to force WISH
osr to ply him and his associates with
questions. Had the grading process in
color been adopted, people would have
looked, perhaps admired, and that would
be all. AS it is, lie was kept busy the day
long explaining all about the letter o.
In doing this, Judge Newell manages to
oct mn n for Df.nnT- and
ful capabilities and prospects that other
wise would never be said. why, said the
gentleman, IAN Iowa gentleman was here

center is an exhibit of Riverside county.
The display is exceptionally fine and ill.,
cludes every variety of the citrus family
and also some choice citrus fruit products.
1t is here that can be seen the odd look
ing Wrinkled Kings oranges and the
Castleman lines. The latter are ten or
twelve times larger than the largest of the
ordinary lines, each one yielding about
a teacupful of juice. They are a decided
novelty and attract much attention.
Among the exhibitors are w. II. Backus,
who shows Washington navels, st. Mich
aels, Mediterranean sweets, bloods,
pomolas and tangerines. These are
arranged in pyramids, circles, squares
