(By MORRIS NJ RATHBUN.1

Los ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 1S.-
How many cities in the United States
could produce a million cut roses on
the last day of the year?
And if the flowers were to be bad,
would the population work without
pay all night before New Years to
make ready for a one-day display?
Pasadena the winter metropolis of
American milliOnaircs. does exactly
these things The people do not seem
to think there is anything unusual
about it all, as they have held their
tournament of roses each New Years
day for the past twenty-siX years and
now are making ready for the next
one, January /, 1916.
The pretty custom of ushering in
the new year with a great floral
parade began when Pasadena was a
mere village. When eastern million
aires began making their winter
homes in the little city of roses the
annual pageant of flowers kept grow
ing more elaborate Great hothouses
could be drawn on for orchids and
rare tropical plants, and competition
became keen. The eagerness of the
wealthy to display their garden prod
uctS stimulated the entries to the point
where expense was not needed. Only
floral beauty was sought The pro-
duCtiOn of the choicest blooms was
begun for the next tournament before
the coloring OF the last had faded.
There are many magnificently fur
nished homes in Pasadena. The world
has been searched to furnish these
and baubles worth a kings ransom
are common. 1t is startling to find
that the most cherished possession of
hnnGnhnllg ig aI
jewel Of a mighty rajah or a priceless
prayer rug from the orient but
modest little silver cup or two, indi-
eating that the proud owner has
taken this or that prize for his or her
entry in the last tournament of roses.
A list1of those who will compete at
the coming tournament resembles a
page from Who's Who in America.
The acres of rare flowers of Mrs.
Anita Baldwin, daughter of the ia
nous "LucEy' Baldwin. will con-
tribute their choicest blooms to main
tain by the widow of the millionaire
brewer who conceived the idea. will
contribute their quota again as will
the rose gardens of Mrs. James A.
Garfield, widow of the martyred
president.
The Allerton gardens, founded by
the richest farmer in the world"
those Of the Harkbess estate. and
Brookside city park, comprising
twenty acres of flowers of all sorts
maintained by the city, also will be
presented. Fred Fairbanks, son Of
the former president, Mrs. Bob"
Burdette, widow of the beloved hum
orist. philosopher and preacher, Will
liam Wrigley, the chewing gum king,
Senator Edmunds of Vermont and
scores of others equally known to
fame will be among the individual
entrants.
Among the most elaborate floats
are those from the cities surrounding

Pasadena. which are perhaps Just a
trifle jealous Of the Crown City ap-
propriating the title "City of Roses"
before they were born. Half a hun
dred towns i'm the southern part Of
California sent entries for the touTna-
ment parade and in most instances
the primal idea is to demonstrate
that Pasadena is not the only city
that may claim supremacy for its
roses.
The tournament parade is a dis
tinctly ethical and cultural institu-
tion. There is no chance for the COM
mercially inclined to exploit them
selves as the most rigid rule of this
riot of flora Is that no advertising Of
any sort shall appear on any entry
or in the parade. And, strangely
enough, this feature is popular with
all entrants, from multi-millionaire
amateur horticulturist to the orchid
shop. which exists through the Pasa-
denans' love for the choicest hot
house productions.
Preparation for the gorgeous caval-
cade is one of the most interesting
features Of it's presentation. obviously
it is impossible to decorate a huge
float with cut flowers very many
hours ahead Of its appearance in the
line of march To have the blooms
appear the freshest every cntrant
awaits the last possible moment be-
fore decorating. So skilled have the
enthusiasts become i'm this work that
they figure to the minute how many
hours will be required to prepare
their entry and they govern them
selves accordingly In some instances
the decorating begins after dinner
New Years eve. From early even
i t..T.N l.f. H.
and then the work Of thousands of
formed until 9:55 o'clock New Years
day-eXactly five minutes before the
fanfare of trumpcts announce to the
waiting crowds that the only New
Years day flower carnival in the
world is about to begin.
Not q sprig or petal Of artificial
Towering is allowed. In the hun
dreds of colorful flower fantasies i'm
the line of march there is only the
most exquisite handiworS of nature.
School children, club women, gar
deners, amateur hortiCulturists, eX
perts, bank presidents, office boys,
millionaires, shop girls and the pOpu-
lation generally Of Pasadena sees the
old year out and the new year in.
The occasion is far from a holiday,
but the work done is a labor Of love.
This year the long night and the day
of celebrating following will be more
arduous than usual owing to the
first day of 1916 coming on Saturday
The Sunday after will be more of a
day Of rest than ever before, as the
tournament program is so elaborate
as to entail more work than at any
time in history.
In the arrangement of the program
each year, the old gives way to the
new. The latest varieties of roses
are given prominent place, the newest
styles in propagt ton are in evidence
and the populal fancy Is considered.
This season the chariot races that
have provided the afternoon thrills
for the tournament day in the past
will give way to the more modern
excitement A post season champion
ship football game is being arranged,
the contestants to be the Pacific coast
champions and the middle west pen
nant winners.
