Summary[edit]

Description

California Quadrangle, entrance from north gardens — of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, Balboa Park, San Diego, California.

  • Returning to the California Quadrangle one sees the face of the archway in the picture, massive with heavy Churrigueresque volutes and almost Aztec in its modelling and general character.
  • To the northeast of the California State Building is a mesa surrounded by acacia, eucalyptus and other trees, formally laid out for a changing show of bright annual flowers. This is the work of John Morley, whose beautiful arrangement here of cannas last year is one long to be remembered. The garden this spring is being planted in stock, to be followed, with the advance of the seasons, with other synchronous blooms.
  • Heavy Italian benches are arranged around the California Building to the best advantage. A pigeon flying about the Tower causes the observer to regret that rooks are not indigenous to Southern California. Near these gardens is located the Exposition Day Nursery.
