there has been set aside a very large area
OF ground upon which to carry on all
such work.
The United States Department OF Agrl-
culture has applied for ten acres OF space on
which to show plots Of the various grasses
and cereals adapted to growth in various
parts Of the country. This will make not
only n beautiful, but an interesting and
educational exhibit.
Horticulturists will be glad to know that
their department will be supplied with the
very best possible facilities. Particular
attention Is asked to the splendid provision
made for genealogical exhibits. II will be
recalled that ut previous expositions II has
sometimes been necessary to divide the
fruit exhibits, placing portions in each OF
two or moro spaces, so separated as to
break the continuity OF examination and
rendering impossible such comparisons a.
should constitute one of the best features
OF such an exhibit.
The one enormous room, covering almost
four acres of floor space, can all be taken
in at a glance and viii at the same time
provide the opportunity for close and spe-
cial study of varieties and species. This
room wi. be at the same time one of the
highest in the exposition. giving that full
and complete ventilation 80 necessary to
the successful exhibit of fruits.
The horticulture building will be visible
from a greater distance than any other on
the grounds, since It occupies the most
elevated position. The beauty Of the build
ing, its commanding position and, particu-
larry, its perfect adaptation to the use to
which Il is to be put, combine to supply
conditions that are most satisfactory.
In addition to these general and larger
arrangements, every detail necessary to tho
comfort and convenience of the exhibitors
is receiving the most careful attention. A
room of ample size is provided in which
to unpack and prepare exhibits which will

convenience. [ THE room viii be made
all deliveries OF shipments. Exhibitors can
then be notified OF the arrival OF their
shipments and can unpack and prepare
them for display without n moments delay.
In the case of quickly perishable fruit. the
saving of a few hours time in placing II
on the table is OF the utmost consequence.
The outdoor exhibits in horticulture viii
include everything which Il is possible to
bring together ia COVERS, decorative plants,
shrubs and trees. The beautiful setting
for this sort of display consists OF forty
two aerts of ground surrounding the Agri-
culture and Horticulture buildings. This
entire area has been placed at the disposal
of the chief of the departments and he
has agreed to cover Il with the choicest
products of the nurseries and floral estab-
lishments Of the worN.

even their third or four generation.
Some other exhibits included in the de-
partment are agricultural implements of
every nature, all processes used in the
production of foods and drinks OF every
description, as wen as the factories in
which they are made and the machinery
used in such factories or processes.
In addition there are all Of the inedible

Alaska is another country that of late

But, say, II we could only Induce the
