This photo shows the Horticulture Building from
the sidewalk. One of the most popular displays in the hall was
a cave into which visitors could walk. Palm trees and moss surrounded
the cave. It had a brook in front of it and visitors stepped
on stones to get over the water and reach the opening of the
cave. Once in the cave, visitors followed a twisting path of
stalactites.
