Their Lawns.
butterflies make an admirable gar
den decoration, and. therefore," said
landscape gardener, they are being
bred for lawns the same as peacocks
are bred.
"You have heard, of course, OF pea
cock farms. Their crops are pea
cocks, and the birds are sold to rich
men to decorate their lawns with.
Well, a butterfly farm Is one where
the crops are butterflies. Such a
farm has been set up in California,
and it is doing well.
1.-THE farm was started on a capt.
tai of $500. A glass house was put
up and 5000 caterpillars were bought.
The caterpillars In due time became
butterflies. The butterflies were sold
at fair profit to a number OF mil
lionaires.
I'm certain millionaires' gardens II
was possible to see during the sum-
mer big focks of butterfiies-some
white, some blue and some iridescent.
These were part of the crop of the
butterfly farm.
THE California breeder got his
idea from London. There for some
years they have bred all the butter
flies that decorate Battersea park
