The United States Department of 
Agriculture has decided to establish a 
Plant Introduction Garden and Experi- 
ment Station at Chico, California. Con- 
tracts for the necessary land have been 
closed and work has been begun on 
what is planned to be one of the great- 
est institutions of its kind. A beginning 
will be made with ninety acres, but it 
is the intention of the Department to 
extend the area as the needs of the in- 
stitution require. The garden will be 
devoted to experimental culture of the 
plants introduced from various parts of 
the world and to a careful study of 
plant life. California was selected for 
its location on account of climatic con- 
ditions which admit of the culture of 
tender plants from the tropics and of

Every piece of stone used in constructing vaults of this description is composed of accurately 
proportioned parts of the highest grade of cement, the cleanest and sharpest sand and pure 
water. The mortar thus formed is carefully packed in moulds, under constant pressure, 
and, after setting, becomes harder and harder by exposure to the air. 
The under ground walls of a vault are constructed of one solid mass of concrete without 
seams which prevents water from seeping through thus giving an advantage over stone.
