nations. A bakery in connection with this mill turns out 400 loaves at a
baking. As in every exposition, visitors crowd the booths where edible
samples are distributed. After viewing many such scenes, a local
humorist dubbed this building "the Palace of Nibbling Arts."

The new idea of co-operation among manufacturers appears in a number of
collective exhibits. California wine producers have united in a splendid
display, far more impressive than could be made by an individual. The
Pacific Coast fisheries have joined in an elaborate exhibit of every
sort of tinned fish. The United States Bureau of Fisheries maintains an
extensive aquarium of fresh and salt-water fishes. The State of
Washington has another, with a salmon hatchery in operation. Modern
production of pure food is greatly emphasized. In a building of its own,
a Pacific Coast condensed milk concern operates a good-sized factory,
using the milk of its herd of pure-bred Holsteins, kept in the
Live-Stock section.

The Palace of Horticulture, with its gardens, has been planned with a
three-fold purpose, to appeal with equal interest to the tourist, the
student, and the business man. Its exhibits by states and foreign
nations picture the gardens and orchards of the world. Its factory
installations exhibit actual processes of preparing and preserving fruit
and vegetable products. Under the great dome are the Cuban and Hawaiian
collections of tropical plants and flowers, already described in the
chapter on the South Gardens. In the flanking rooms are displays of
orchids and aquatic plants. In the main hall Luther Burbank shows his
creations. An exhibit of fresh fruits in season is maintained. The
gardens outside show plants and shrubs from many states and countries,
including the great exhibit of the Netherlands Board of Horticulture.
