REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON GARDENS 267 



The committee also looked through the storage house which 

 has long rows of shelving for the proper keeping of the bulbs. 

 It has a capacity of five thousand bushels and of this immense 

 quantity the greater part is sold out annually. 



Roads are laid out through the farm making it convenient to 

 inspect at close range and in the summer sunshine the masses of 

 brilliant color produce a wonderfully beautiful effect.
