FAMOUSBUSCHGARDENS
COST over 100000

Pasadena. Cal, June 3O.-More
than $2,O00.O0O we're expended in,
and $4,000 a year required for the
upkeep OF the 60 acres of ground
known as the Busch sunken gardens
here which recently were closed and
offered for sale at the direction of
Mrs. Lilly Busch. widow OF the multi
millionaire st. Louis brewer. Adolph
Busch. They were considered one
of the most attractive OF the worlds
famous beauty spots. and scores of
expert gardeners we're employed in
maintaining them. Trees, shrubs
and flowers from practically every
part of the world were included in
the collection OF flora.
The site of the gardens was pur-
chased by Mr.. Busch in 1904. Robert
G.. Frazer, landscape gardener, was
engaged to lay them out. the first
garden to be completed being in the
rear Of NIr. Busch's home on Orange
Grove Avenue. The lower gardens,
regarded as the more beautiful, were
laid out shortly afterwards and Mr..
Frazier was retained to supervise
their maintenance. A special pump.
ing plant was built to supply them
with water. The two gardens were
opened to the public in 1912.
AT least 100000 people, it is
claimed, have visited the terraces,
arbors. glens. lagoons, Nelvety lawns
and glades of the premises. The year
OF the Panama Pacific International
exposition in San Francisco, 1915,
brought the most visitors, 100000
persons passing through the gates.
but each OF the other six years saw
hundreds OF thousands OF visitors in
the gardens,
