This is the great South Gardens. The photograph herewith shows the South Gardens as they are today and gives a glimpse of the fairyland which will delight exposition visitors. Thousands of rare trees, palms and shrubs have been brought from all parts of the world for the landscaping, which is carried on in that sumptuous way which the semi-'ropical climate of California permits.

Large trees, some of them more than sixty feet in height and of great girth, have been transplanted to the grounds.
