T he  fact  that  lumnite  cement  has  many

the 
investigation  described  in  the  bulletin  was

a  great  deal  sooner  than  ordinary  cement. 
This  allows  time  for  the  usual  care  required 
in  mixing,  pouring  and  spreading. 
It  dries 
from  the  center  instead  of  from  the  outside 
as  is  the  case  with  Portland  cement.

articles  pertaining  to  the  history  of  Florida

the  Quarterly
