These cactus gardens and lawns
lie directly back of the administra-
ton building and extend to the ex-
hibits building itself, where tall cac-
til and rows of the rocks and petri-
fled woods stand in relief against
the north side of the hall.
GraYelled walks permit the visitor
TO wander through the lawns and
TO examine closely the interesting
cactus gardens. Walks and land
scaping operations were carried on
by road district No. 3 under the su-
pervision of A. Y Preble OF the
county board of supervisors.
b. A. Harrigan, agricultural
commissioner, and the members of
lis office are to be complimented
on the beautiful gardens, since 1t
was they who made all the collec-
tlons of cactii, rocks and petrified
woods, who planted the lawns, and
who planned the artful landscapes
which make the approach to the
fair so delightful and attractive.
The cactus gardens are to be a
part of the permanent display at
the fair, and judging from the
progress made by those planted last
year in front of the administration
building, these transplanted desert
growths will take root and flourish
as a garden typical of the valley
and unique of its kind.

DESERT GARDEN AT FAIR is
DECLARED UNIQUE ATTRACTION

A desert garden, beautifully land
scaped, typical of Imperial Valley
will greet the visitor to the county
fair as he enters the grounds, and
will be one of the highlights in the
many attractive displays.
Velvety lawns of brilliant green
Australian rye with borders of
sparkling, polished rocks, make a
refreshing contrast to the sur
rounding landscape.
In the center OF each of the two
largest lawns is to be seen a cactus
garden banked with rows of the
rocks, alternating black and white,
With bits of blueish green rock from
the old Tumco mine in the valley
and which contain both gold and
copper deposits.
Every cactus plant displayed is
native to Imperial County, and the
varieties are so numerous as to be
almost bewildering. Such familiar
kinds as the ocatillo, the yuccas,
century plants, Joshua trees, are
to be found, as well as the fish
hook, claval, stove pipe and night
blooming species and many others.
OF particular interest to the geol-
ogist and the botanist are the pieces
of pertrified wood also found in
the county, which contain within
themselves the history of by-gone
ages in the valley. Equally inter-
esting are the black rocks in the
border, which in fact, are not rocks

CITRUS GROWERS
PLANNING USUAL
fine ATTRACTION

Citrus, major indus try of Impe-
rial Valley, will have a place of
honor at the fair and here will be
found row after row of yellow
grapefruit, pale green lines, pyra-
mids of oranges and tangerines,
and the huge lemons for which the
valley is famous.
Excelled by none, the valley cit
rus fruits are famous all over the
world and make distinct and uni
que contribution to the country's
food supply.
| Displays are 10 be entered by To-
cal associations and growers and
will vie with one another in the
| excellence and beauty of their dis
plays.
Many visitors who ordinarily
| think of grapefruit, oranges, tan
gerines, lemons, in just those terms,
will be surprised at the many var
ieties grown locally.
Among the growers who have
signified their intentions of grow
ing entering exhibits are Emil
Steiner of Brawley, Abner Henson
of Brawley, Ed Gilman and Clar-
ence E. Conant of this city.
The Conant display will be of
particular interest since it repre-
sents fruit from some Of the old
est orchards in the valley and thus
illustrates the future growth and
| development of the many young
orchards.
For the past 10 years, Conant
has been engaged in the citrus in
dustry and his grapefruit grove is
one of the show places in the val
ley. He will enter several varieties
of oranges and tangerines as well
as his grapefruit.
When speaking of fruit grown
locally, citrus is Immediately
brought to mind. but many other
luscious fruits are grown here and
will be displayed. In this group are
included persmmons, pomegrantes,
several varieties of pears, ounces,
olives, pecans, almonds, grapes, and
strawberries
Prizes are to be awarded both on
the beauty of the display and the
quality of the fruit, and the bril-
liant hues of these products should
make the display one of the most
colorful in the entire fair. Frank
Beyschlag is in charge of this divi-
sion.
