Portland will never have a greater
distinction thsn that which ehe haa won
through the beauty of her flowers. All
through the summer, when thoussnds
upon thoussnds of strangers thronged
the city, the nrst ana moat laaiing com
ment heard concerned tne grandeur of
the gardens. Visitors were amased to
find In practically every yard- a pro
fusion of plants and bushes bearing the
most perfect floral specimens they hsd
sver seen. They could not understand
that In thla far western country sup
posedly composed of alkali and sage

that the - Portland Rose society could
give away 1.000 roseji each day of the
fair and have aome thousands ten over
for free distribution among tha hos
pitals and charitable organlsstions
whose surroundings were not. perhaps,
aa well adapted to the culture of the
bude and blossoms.
And yst, the rose represents -only
sbout ons eighth of the vast growth
of flowers and foliage that have added
so much to Portland's fame. -Panslsa,
violets, geraniums, ferns anything you
may name In botany la grown here In
Portland. There - Is no state In the
Union that boasts of a greater variety
of cultivable plants than Oregon. Most
anything can grow here. Above the
snowline plants thst dsmand cold

the valleys thsre sre plsnts of a seml-

riety of aqustle plants and - thsn ths

George Otten, who laid out 1.000 rose
bushss on ths Lewis snd Clark- fair
grounds, estlmstes that $60,000 la ex
oended annually among florists In Port
land. Most of this, money worn ts from
visitors and from people living In flats
and hotels who have no opportunity of
raising their own flowere.-They fill
their wants at a rate extremely low, but
buy frequently end Jn large quantities.
Mr. Otten's life Is "wrapped up In the
floral businsss. With him It Is a senti
ment es much ee anything else. And
he wsnts all the rars plants snd trees
In town transplanted to the city park
where they can grow and multiply. Hs
