dynamite gang" as this method is
cheaper and much quicker than the
old method.
In another section of the big park
is the wonderful flower farm where
the unit for propagation is 4, O00,-
900. Ferns, vines and young trees
fill the hot houses, lath houses, cold
frames and plantations that cover
acres in extent. In guarded pen,
like little animals that light get away
are hundredslof tiny rose bushes
that were cuttings last spring.
These are the entrants for the 81 geo
prize offered by the management for
a new rose. The tiny cuttings are
SO strong and virile, SO healthy and
ready to bloom, that they have not
waited as rose usually does, but
began blooming just as soon as their
tiny rootlets caught hold in the soil

Over on the opposite side Of the
park is another gang busy with the
work of the huge bridge, concrete
structure 9S4 feet long, 12O feet
high and 100 feet wide that connects
the city with the park directly at
