n few well grown specimens of ken
tiaS. anecaS, cOcOS. Aucuba japOnica

fiStically grouped about the rooms
which added to the beauty of the

it best to have this exhibition of Cali

to be a mistake. The week began
with the grand display of daylight

of people. The same evening an elec-

the principal business sections of the
city which was Witnessed by multi

who crowded two miles of the streets
to their utmost capacity. Tuesday the
flower festival had its parade The
procession was over two miles long
Vehicles of every kind. from the 40
horse power automobile to the tiny
pony cart, all hidden by flowers. were
paraded before a cheering population
of thousands. The premiums for the
best decorated turnout were so liberal
that the skill of the decorator was seen
at its best. Thomas Wright, the
florist, drove a high wheeled cart
