 INFORMATION fiJ915)J for EXHIBITORS beautiful plants. Orchardists and fruit-growers will be particularly interested in the comparison of exhibits. The apple exhibit, for instance, will contain speci- mens from each, apple-producing state, showing the effect of soil, climate, altitude, etc. The wonderful advance in the practical art and science developed by plant eugenics will be fully illustrated. The great Central Court and the Exposition grounds will be as en- chanted gardens, and foreign governments and the States will beautify their grounds as at no other exposition. This Department proposes to maintain a collective fruit exhibit for the purpose of displaying in one space the different varieties of fruits grown in widely separated localities. This will afford unrivaled opportunities for study of fruits from all sections by comparing their re- spective sizes, color, shape, texture, flesh and flavor. It is expected that the various States will cooperate toward making this special feature a success, especially with regard to the highly interesting fruit-grafting methods and processes of recent origin. Particular attention will be paid to the culture of or- namental flowers, bulbs and shrubs, and there will be shown the rarest and most beautiful specimens of aqua- tic plants in existence. Horticulture and Floriculture are making such rapid strides that there is a demand for the latest devices in implements and apparatus used in these very prosperous industries. These will be displayed on an extensive scale and include all the machinery and preventives utilized to guard against injury or damage by the ele- ments, fungous diseases and insects.
