By a special system of rotation origi
nated by John McLaren, Supertendent
of San Francisco’s Parks, every flower
I of the million plants of the tropical
garden at the Panama-Pacific Inter
national Exposition will be in full
bloom during the ten months the ex
position will be open to the public. A
duplicate of every plant will be kept
|n the nurseries,green houses and lath
iunises and as one in the open ceases
go bloom a forced plant will be subst
ituted for it.
Frederic Thompson, producer of the
Toy land Grown Up concession at the
Panama-Pacifiic International Expo
sition, tried scores of engineers of
world-wide fame in an effort to find
one who could work out a design for a
mechanical man, sixty feet high. All
failed. Thompson, in a whimsical mood, i
tola his idea to his twelve year old
office boy and ordered the lad in jest—
to go home and make a working model.
The boy, believing Thompson was in j
earnest, got busy and his model was so
sucessfnl that the sixty-foot roan will
be made from the lad’s original
drawing.
More than 25,000 cubic yards of rich
* soil was towed from Collinsville, on
the Sacramento river, to the sight of
the Panama-Pacifiic International Ex
position at San Francisco to be used
In the tropical garden which will form
the setting for the great exhibit
palaces. This loam heaped up, would
make a mountain one-half mile high
and one hundred feet square at the
top and base.
