A. 9 3 3 "J^atUTe has glorified tfie romance of the s\y and the earth and given us her flower gardens." FOREWORD ^Sk^^-^TN"^^ IFE minus its aesthetic values would be barren indeed. '1^^ Though we may often forget the fact, beauty is as essen' tial for our well-being and happiness as are food and shelter and clothing. Fortunately, beauty appears in many forms — in music, in painting, in sculpture, in Ht- erature, and in a thousand glories of Nature. Not only are we moved at twilight by the rose colors of the western sky, or by the sparkling stars that sprinkle the vault of heaven at night, but deep in our beings there is a love for growing things, for living objects that in grace ful forms and lovely colors and with sweet odors spring miraculously from the warm bosom of the soil. Even a single blossom, growing in a clay pot on a window sill, has opened to a weary soul a glimpse of heaven. In the exhibition of A Century of Progress, there is an unparalleled display of the advancements in architecture and the triumphs of science, not only in their physical forms but also in their varied apphcation to the arts of living. But these things do not compass man's interests or en- tirely cover the fields of notable progress. The Horticultural and Floricultural Exhibition measures up to the very high levels attained by science, invention, engineering and industry as exemphfied at A Century of Progress International Exposition. This great exhibition is dedicated to the Horticultural Industry in all its branches. Here have been gathered the choicest blossoms, finest trees, shrubs and accessories, weaving them together into a dehghtful picture designed to give you something to take away with you as an enduring possession, that intangible something, not of leaf nor of bud, but the infinite happi- ness which comes in an association of these things. If it shall have added this to your life, if it shall give you enjoyment and inspiration, then our efforts shall not have been in \-ain and the objective and ideals of this Exhibition shall remain monumental to its accompHshment. ^J^ "yiot so much a fan ?\{arcis.sis or a lovely Rose, But a s\]\en, perfumed something that )ust groups.'

Think you the winds That beat upon its breast Strange music Of a wordless tongue; Nay, these are hymns That have reverberantly sung Through ages Ever since the world begun. A tree may die; No less for such as these Still linger its immortal memories. A separation of the wood from wood Cannot dissolve such brotherhood. Linked through the bondage Of transcendent years Such dissolution Would but to release Its soul. Through physical demise. And we shall feel And know. Both you and I, What there has been Of immortahty That dwells within This silent understanding friend. Whose death can never Friendship end. Whose memory lingers long With you and me; Such is the immortality Of just a tree. — Rebecca Anthony. .^^T^ vT ^• ::i^ MUt'LH "I thin\ the angels when they light The stars, the flowers of heaven, at night.

VIGORO Complete plant/bod For Lawns, Flowers, Vegetables, Shrubs, and Trees The Positive Protection of Fence Visitors at the Horticultural Exhibition of the Century of Progress will observe that the exhibit gardens are en- closed most effectively with a chain link fence made and erected by Pittsburgh Steel Company. This is the type of fence that is used so extensively for enclosing large estates, as well as many public and indus- trial properties such as swimming pools, athletic fields, parks, reservoirs, airports, factories, play grounds, etc. You can imagine the difficulties of trespassing that would be experienced here if the grounds were not fenced. In some degree this parallels the experience of every prop- erty. In these days of growing disrespect of property rights, ever>' home, estate and exposed property needs the positive protection of fencing. In many respects the protection of the Horticultural Ex- hibit Gardens is simpler than that of private gardens, es- tates and other properties. Here we need control merely of pedestrian traffic which is already under general super- vision. A fence for your property must also keep out dogs and other animals, prowlers and malicious trespass- ers, guide the newsboy, grocer boy and milk man to the walks, afford a safe place for the children to play and enhance the appearance of the property. You will observe that an effort has been made to beau- tify the fence boundary of the Exhibit gardens by means of plantings on and near the fence. Obviously it has not been possible to cover the fence with foliage nor to grow beautiful, flowering vines such as roses, clematis and bit- tersweet that can, after two or three years of growth, make fences such a beautiful part of the landscape. In this connection many landscape architects have re- cently been discovering the multitudinous possibilities of fences. A wire fence immediately gives protection and establishes boundary lines. If subsequent privacy is de- sired by means of heavy plantings of shrubs the fence is still there to keep out dogs and intruders. On the other hand, particularly where space is limited, vines and flow- ers on the fence give the same much desired privacy in the nature of a thin garden wall, permitting more space for lawn and garden features. The chain link fence enclosing our Exhibit Gardens is only one of several constructions in Pittsburgh Steel Com- pany's lines. The Company offers the chain link design in heights from three to twelve feet or more; also other types of fence such as the Orna- mental Lawn Fence enclosing our tea terrace, and farm and poultry fences. Pittsburgh Chain-LinkFence Dignified Protection »g for Homes Estates Playgrounds Athletic Fields Parks Cemeteries Reservoirs Airports Zoological Gardens Factories Storage Yards Tennis Courts The chain link fence enclosing the gardens of the Her' ticultural Exhibition is representative of the character of materials and construction employed in all Pittsburgh Chain Link Fences. There is a type of Pittsburgh Fence for every enclosure. In addition to its Chain Link Fences, Pittsburgh Steel Company manufactures fences for every purpose, farm, poultry, garden and lawn. "Pittsburgh" fences and poul- try fabrics may be seen at the Egg Laying Contest of the Century of Progress. Write for catalogues and informa- tion.
