Description
This circa 1900 postcard shows two children enjoying a fraction of Capitol Park's enormous compliment of flowers. The State Gardener at that time was Matthew H. Dunn, a native of England. He was responsible for the addition of pathways along L and the addition of flower beds, including two heart-shaped ones near L Street. Appointed in 1893, Dunn took a position as a parks superintendent in Alameda in 1910.
