The credit f-r securing this large dele gation from Los Angeles, which is the center of floral shows, for the Portland Rose Festival, belongs to William Mc "Murray. chairman of the publicity depart ment of the festival. He accompanied the recent Inland Empire excursion to Sonlhern California and did effective work down -there, with the result that "Walter Raymond, secretary of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, took up the matter of arranging for a special train with, the trustees of the organiza tion, and It was at once decided to visit Portland's show.

"Rose planting day"' on Washington's birthday, was even scouted by the Is Angeles enthusiasts, who were sure that Oregon was snow and storm-bound like the Middle West aud the whole Eastern country, and only the most aggnessive tactics succeeded In persuading the Cal Iforniuns that a trip to Portland in earlv Summer would show them "things theyJ ueei Knew. That Portland Is the greatest rose-growing community in the United States, If not in the world, is indicated by estimates prepared from figures submitted by the leading florists and nurserymen of the city. These estimates show that the citizens of Itirtland have already planted as a result of the Rose Festival agitation, between ;a1.000 and 00.000 rose bushes since last October, and also that nine out of every H lawns and gardens in the City of Portland has from half a dozen to oO.i rose bushes, all of which will be in full bloom by the opening day of the festival. This means that millions upon millions of roses will be in bloom by festival time, num bers far in excess of those available dur ing the brief carnival of last Summer.
