BUSCH GARDEN
AT PASADENA
THING OF PAST
PASADENA, Cal., July 10 (by Asso
ciated Press).—More than $2,000,000
was expended in and $40,000 a year
was required for the upkeep of the
sixty acres of ground known as the
Busch sunken gardens here, which re
cently were closed and offered for sale
at the direction of Mrs. Lily Busch,
widow of the multi-millionaire St.
Louis brew, Adolph Busch. They
were considered one of the most at
tractive of the world’s famous beauty
spots, and scores of expert gardeners
were employed in maintaining them.
Trees, shrubs and flowers from prac
tically every part of the world were
included in the collection of flora.
The site of the gardenes was pur
chased by Mr. Busch in 1904. Robert
^ G. Frazer, landscape gardener, was
engaged to lay them, out, the first gar
den to be completed being in the rear
of Mr. Busch’s home on Orange Grove
avenue. The lower gardens, regarded
as the more beautiful, were laid out
shortly afterward, and Mr. Frazer was
retained to supervise their mainte
nance. A special pumping plant was
built to supply them with water. The
two gardens were opened to the pub
lic in 1912.
At least five million people, it is
claimed, have visited the terraces, ar
bors. glens, lagoons, velvety lawns j
and glades of the premises. The year:
of the Panama-Pacific-International ex
position in San Francisco—1915—
brought the most visitors. 1.500.000
persons passing through the gates, but
each year saw hundreds of thousands
of visitors in the gardens.
Mr. Busch spent most of his time
in these gardens during bis annual so
journs in California. He erected a
cottage in the lower gardens, where
he frequently received his callers.
While the gardens were open to the
public every day in the year, they sel
dom were thrown open to any society.
Among the few special occasions
when assemblages were permitted to
visit were conventions of the Shrin
ers. Elks, American Medical Society
an 1 the American Red Cross.
WOMAN MAKES GOOD AS
GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA
PHOENIX, Ariz., July 10 (by Asso
ciated Press).—In a manner satisfac
tory to all a woman held the job of
secretary of state of Arizona when
Acting Governor Simms left the state
simultaneously with Governor Camp
bell, who went to New York to aid in
the welcome of the 340th field artil
lery.
The woman was Miss Harriet Jean
Oliver. She is a California girl by
birth, but claims Yavapai county as
: her home. She is on the state pay
roll as secretary to the secretary of
state. Whenever the governor and
acting governor leave the state at the
same time Miss Oliver is the next in
line, and three times before she has
discharged the duties of that office
satisfactorily.
While in the office of secretary of
state she not only carries on the of
fice routine but also is called upon to
sign all requisition papers and procla
mations.
Miss Oliver first held a state office
as journal clerk to the constitutional
convention in 1913, and has held simi
lar positions with state legislatures
until five years ago, when she was
appointed to the office of the secre
tary of state, where she has been
since.
