Jor rris. If we could get at some principles in the aiehetg 
cemeteries it might be of some use. Would like to have trees 
a a plants recommended for that purpose. In the older states 
y large trees have been found objectionable. Would like to see a list 
of moderate growing trees, roses, and herbaceous plants, ts 
_ Mr. Sias. I have tried both thé American and the English yew 
| but they did not survive. 
“Mr. Jordon. Many have been planted in this city but they are 
all gone. 
Mr. Pearce. I used to think a cemetery an unpleasant place, 
but now I think it a beautiful place. We show ours to all who 
visit the city. The lots are kept of uniform height and covered 
with Blue grass. Flowers are grown on them and a moss rose, 
nearly hardy, has been extensively planted. Verbenas are also 
much planted, especially white ones. 
“g 
Trees to Plant. 
Mr. Jordon. it would be wise to recommend some trees, I 
have planted many and have planted reluctantly anything but 
Arbor Vitz. I fear our cemetery will yet be overrun by large trees 
as Pines, Balsams, &c. 
Mr. Elliot. JI would suggest the Savine Juniper and the native 
Trailing Juniper. 
Mr. Sias. The best three trees of my acquaintance are the 
Prostrate Juniper, Savine Junipor and Arbor Vite. 
Mr, Latham. Does any one know the Mountain Pine? J have 
only seen it four feet high, but Douglass says it reaches ten feet at 
maturity.
