The beautiful municipal, waterfront flowerbeds of Pacific Grove, California, werestarted years ago by a Mr. Hayes Perkins.Born in Oregon in 1878, he was shanghaiedwhen a boy and made many trips aroundthe world. When he saw Pacific Grove hedecided to spend the remainder of his yearsbeautifying its coastline. Over a period oftwelve years, both on his own time and asa city employe, there has been created thisarea which attracts so many visitors, photog-raphers and painters. The area covers ap-proximately three miles of waterfront witha ground cover of mesembryanthemum(small leaved, small rose-lavender flowercommonly called ice plant) which gives theeffect of a brilliant carpet during spring andearly summer months. Even during autumnand winter months the variety of otherflowers attracts artists and tourists.

Pacific Grove is next door to historicMonterey, which, from 1775 to the Ameri-can occupation in 1846, was the social, mili-tary and political capital of old California.

Tourists drive from Monterey to the Pa-cific Grove waterfront, past Pt. Pinos Light-house, to the famed "17 Mile Drive" andon to Carmel-by-the-Sea. Rocky promonto-ries, topped by wind-bent Monterey cypress,pine and gnarled oak, add to the charm ofthis fascinating peninsula. Here also is Peb-ble Beach, a "golfing mecca" from whichthe Bing Crosby golf tournament is telecastnationally each January.

Pacific Grove was founded in 1875 byCalifornia Methodists, who bought a quietpine forest on the peninsula to establish aconference and Chautauqua center. The townis also known for the thousands of Monarchbutterflies that migrate there each winterand which are protected by city law.

Brilliant varieties of mesetnbryanthemum (ice plant) ranging from small lavender to larger pink or red, Achillea,Martha Washington geraniums, Darcena palm tree, summer arctotis, century plant, wild yellow lupin, callas,can nas, veronica, and various wild flowers add infinite variety to this Pacific Grove shoreline. In the distance isFort Ord (left) and the city of Seaside (right) across Monterey Bay.
