PARK AND CEMETERY.

On the inside to the height of the outside tiling 
course, the wall and fireplace in ante-room, is faced 
with similar brick as on the outside, while in the 
avatory proper, the entire walls and partitions are 
wainscoted to the height of 6 ft. 6 in., with white 
Italian marble. 
The doors to each division close only ^ of op- 
ening, and are of cherry, polished. All the bal- 
ance of the inside, including ceiling, is covered with 
yellow pine in panels. 
Each water closet has its own tank, and inde- 
pendent supply. The vent from all extends into 
one of the flues in the chimney. All soil empties 
into a catch basin outside of the building, which in 
turn is connected to the city sewer. This was deemed 
necessary, so that any improper substance sent 
through the closet may be arrested and taken out, 
thatthesewermay notbeclogged. Handholesarepro- 
vided for cleaning out and swabbing the entire system. 
The color scheme of the exterior is very pleas- 
ing, all trimmings being in two colors of olive, a 
dark and light above the amber brick, and mingling 
with the red tiles. 
The structure complete cost $3,650. 
BULBS FOR THE CEMETERY. 
In many of the rural cemeteries, where the care 
of lots rests wholly or in part upon their respective 
owners, the selection of suitable floral decorations 
is frequently found difficult. Were beauty, sim- 
plicity and harmony the only qualities to be con- 
sidered, there might be comparatively little hesita- 
tion. But the special requirements of the different 
species must be regarded, and too often this side of 
the question is complicated by the residence of the 
lot owner being too remote to insure regular or fre- 
quent visitation, hence restricting the available list 
to such plants as require little care. 
Few possess this quality in a more marked de- 
gree than the hardy spring flowering bulbs. Planted 
with care in early autumn that they may become 
firmly rooted before winter they may be confidently 
trusted to take care of themselves. They are even 
planted successfully as late as December, providing 
the ground remains unfrozen, but it is wiser not to 
defer planting later than October. 
True, they are not protracted bloomers; neither 
are the lilies, but what is a more general favorite? 
By exercising a little discretion in selecting, how-
