Here we are not collecting flowers, but rather we are collecting Carl Purdy references!
Our local author, Charles Howard Shinn, wrote about Carl Purdy several times. The Shinn women went to Ukiah to visit him.
Purdy ordered plants from the California Nursery Company.
Lots of local connections.
The Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
The East Bay landscape designer, Howard Gilkey worked with Luther Burbank from 1907-1909. Gilkey also "worked with Carl Purdy, who had charge of the horticultural gardens and the Palace of Horticulture at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915".
