PARK AND CEMETERY.

PARK IMPROVEMENTS 
(Continued from page 92) 
and in parks this summer. On the 
eight recreation piers nearly one thou- 
sand concerts will be given. 
A number of citizens of Schenectady, 
N. Y., have purchased the old Jewett 
farm of 114 acres and will hold it for 
a public park, the city to purchase the 
tract at the same price that was paid 
for it — $12,500. 
The city of Holyoke, Mass., has pur- 
chased an addition to Riverside Park 
for $1,200. 
The park board of Minneapolis is 
considering the transformation of Ma- 
ple Hill Cemetery, an old tract in 
Northeast Minneapolis, into a public 
park. 
Plans have been accepted for a new 
pavilion in Rockwood Park, St. John, 
N. B. 
The park board of Kansas City, Mo., 
will expend $35,000 for improvements 
in the north park district this year. 
The pavilion and band-stand will be 
finished, a roadway built through Penn 
Va.iley Park, the lake deepened in 
Troost Park, and an entrance to the 
boulevard built at Summit street. 
The Board of Estimate of Albany, 
N. Y., has approved an expenditure of 
$5,400 for an addition to Dudley Park. 
A huge dredge recently arrived in 
Chicago to do the work of filling in 
the lake shore at Lincoln Park to re- 
claim 27 acres of land. The improve- 
ments will cost $1,000,000, and are to 
be done by individual contracts made 
by the commission. The dredge is said 
to be the largest in the world. 
BRIGHT GARDENER 
Botanical Old Gent (in the park)- — 
“Can you tell me if this plant belongs 
to the arbutus family?” 
Gardener (curtly) — “No, sir, it don’t; 
it belongs to the city.” 
The Disfiguring of 
Parks and Cemeteries 
by illy designed and poorly constructed greenhouses is a thine of 
the past. Greenhouses are fast becoming one of the interesting 
parts of the grounds and visited by thousands. Here is an 
illustration of an attractive, yet small proposition that is a 
decorative feature of the grounds from any point of view. This 
is the kind of thing we do — whether large or small — do it 
better than others because we have been doing it longer — 
and do nothing else. We shall expect to correspond with you.
