Show , The first contribution of the University of Notre Dame to the Louisiana Purchase exposition, to be held at St. Louis, left the university grounds lost week. Four carloads of century plants from t the gardens of the university were taken over the I- Notre Dame branch of the Michigan Central rail- 1 way and consigned to the care of George E. Kess- lor, the landscape artist of the exposition. Two hundred and ten plants, most of them of immense im-mense growth, representing only a small part of this kind of product by Notre Dame's gardeners, were turned over to the exposition. The century plants, which form one of the most attractivefea-lures attractivefea-lures in the decoration of the grounds of Notre Dome, are the result of thirty years of careful culture. The number sent to the exposition will f. arcely be missed from the lawns of the university. Plans are making for an extensive educational exhibit ex-hibit of all the departments of the university. The iwork of the scientific and engineering departments will be fully shown. |
