tion. Both sides of the stairway and the northern and 
western bank of the Rose Garden were graded and sodded 
for a distance of 200 feet on the western bank and Ioo0 feet 
on the northern. Considerable grading was accomplished 
on the eastern side of the grounds near the School Garden 
section. 
About 3,000 yards of fill were hauled into the Garden by 
outside contractors and placed on the new road north of 
Rose Garden. This fill was carted in at the expense of the 
contractors who were looking for a convenient place to 
dispose of it. 
About 2,500 yards of stone were blasted and removed 
from the two quarries in the Garden. The stone removed 
from the quarry near conservatory range 2, amounting to 
nearly 2,000 yards, was used to extend the size of the coal 
bunker at power house 2 and for the paths on the eastern 
side of the grounds. The remainder of the stone was 
taken from the quarry near the museum building and was 
used in the construction of paths on the lower side of the 
Horticultural Gardens. 
Drainage 
In order to drain the Rose Garden two catch-basins were 
built, for which we used 188 feet of 4-inch tile pipe and 50 
feet of 3-inch porous pipe. To drain the Horticultural 
Gardens at the lower end near the road, one catch-basin 
and three culverts were built with 156 feet of 4-inch tile 
pipe. A ditch 200 feet long was built and lined with 
boulders near the road at the northeastern corner of the 
Horticultural Gardens. We also built a culvert on the 
eastern side of the grounds under the path running south 
from the School Garden. We put in one catch-basin in 
order to drain the northern end of the Magnolia Collection. 
In changing the position of the drinking fountain at the 
Iris Garden, 72 feet of 3-inch tile pipe were used. It was 
necessary to change this fountain so that the waste water 
outlet might be connected with the sewer.
