a Citv's Flower Farm.

San Diego, Cal. is the only city in
the country that has a municipal flow
er farm started with the aim of pro-
viding floral and horticultural exhibits
for the Panama-California Information
al exposition in 1915. The city eff
Gals, who are promoting the farm,
found they could save hundreds Of
thousands of dollars by utilizing the
400 acre tract in Balboa Park to
grow flowers, and it is expected many
millions of plants will be ready in two
years.
The farm already has 1,000,0 900 gera-
NUNS, as many red roses, white roses
and 20 acres of California golden pop
pies. 1t has 10000 palm trees. The
park consequently has become the
most beautiful in colors and flowers
in the country and thousands of tour
lists who have been passing several
months in the west made 1t a point
to visit San Diego just to see the 1ow-
eer farm.

IN PARK BUILDING
Developed System Of Public
r Parks.


If a city is to have parks, 4 careful
study of the problem will convince
any student Of municipal development
that the parks should be acquired in
accordance with a general system.
Many cities have one Of more parks
in which their citizens may justly
take pride, but comparatively few of
these cities have what can properly
be called a comprehensive. well-bal-
anced and ~well-developed system of
parks, a system which will compare
favorably as to completeness with, for
instance, the system Of public schools.
or the system of fire protection and
other principal departments of the
city government. The backwardness
of municipal park systems is not so
much due to lack of public intelli-
gence and public spirit, as to a de-
fective development of the love of
beauty, as compared with a we'll
developed appreciation of practical,
utilitarian progress. 1t not i~nfrequent-
ly happens that the sections of a city
in which the population is most dense
and most in need of squares. play
grounds and local parks, are almost
wholly devoid of these advantages be-
cause no we~ll-balanced system has
been devised and carried u while
land was sufficiently cheap and COM
paratively unoccupied so that row
the expense is prohibitory.
