The collection of desert plants at the propagating houses has 
been moved out of doors into the adjoining nursery for the sum- 
mer, occupying a portion of the enclosure just to the south of 
the range of houses. They are grouped in long narrow beds, 
divided by paths, so that the collections may be readily studied 
Collections of this kind are usually much benefited by this out- 
of-door treatment
