...program of development of the hardy plants outdoors is not so nearly realized. It will take much further labor and effort to prepare the hard clay soil for the separate plant groups. A few beds are in fairly presentable shape, as samples of what should be done, but for the most part the soil is yet hard, sterile, and overgrown with weeds. Some sections have had no care for over twenty years. Yet some 6,000 species of hardy plants are now growing in the beds, 2,000 are in the cold greenhouse awaiting planting next spring, and over...
...first act doesn't prove a great deal. There is one song however, which ought to be given a Pulitzer prize for something or other.

Pyramidal in shape, it rises tier on tier, each tier a gallery ornamented with sculpture and symbolic devices in unparalleled profusion. The pilgrim, ascending by these galleries, traverses a distance of three miles past carvings which constitute a pictorial Bible of the late or "Mahayana" creed. The intent is that the pious shall...
