Is Under Good Headway for
The Big Panama
Exposition.

SAN DIEGO. Aug. 2S.-Gany
cities have canvassed the idea Of
starting municipal farm but it has
remained for this city to put one in
operation and this farm is unique In
this county.
The Panama California Internation-
al exposition is to be held in 1915 in
san Diego, and two OF the principal
features Of this exposition are to be
the hOral and horticultural exhibits.
when it came to considering ways
and means OF procuring the huge
amount of flowers. vines and trees
necessary, the projectors were dis

wanted without going to enormous
expense and gathering them from
every state in che union.
It remained for Director-General
d. c. Collier to solve the problem by
declaring that the plants would be
propagated right in Balboa Park III
San Diego, a tract of 400 acres in
extent, in which the Panama-Califor-
MIA International Exposition is to be
built. The city park commission was
called in and proposal was made and
adopted enthusiastically. The land
scape architect, John Clark Ohm
stead, at once fell in with the idea.
After that it was easy. The city pur-
chased outright two huge nurseries.
More than thirty acres were prepared
for the propagation work necessary
at once. Experts were called IN and
the work was begun. Thousands and
thousands of plants were set olt- The
park commission called on the people
of the city for cuttings of every des-
cription. They were forthcoming. It
took 100 men weeks to set these out
and see that they Scared properly

in such a manner that when the eE-

will form perfect forest around the

roses, one million white roses, twenty
acres of California poDpics,, the lit

never been successfully grown else
