The Ladies’ Flower Day Association 
is to plant an old-time colonial garden 
and was recently honored by the gift 
of a collection of valuable plants from 
Mrs. Roosevelt’s old-fashioned garden 
at the white house. The association, 
through its president, Mrs. Dr. R. N. 
Kesterson, wrote to Mrs. Roosevelt tell- 
ing of the association’s plans of estab- 
lishing an old time colonial garden and 
requested as a special favor one or 
two plants from her garden. The 
ladies of the association were pleasantly 
surprised when they received a fine col- 
lection of plants. 
DOUBLE BURIAL 
want of jurisdiction of the subject- 
matter. The court spoke of it as a 
unique proceeding, and that while 
double burial was not unusual in Eng- 
land, it would be considered unusual 
in this country, but that he could not 
say it would be desecration. Tliere 
was not sufficient evidence produced 
to prove double burial, and in any 
case it was not necessary to pass upon 
the point of desecratioii. So, unfor- 
tunately, nothing in regard to dese- 
cration was settled at this hearing, ami 
there is very little daw to l)e found on 
the subject in the sense brought out 
by the petition. Counsel for the peti- 
tion argued tliat deceased had no right 
of burial in this lot as title stood in 
name cf deceased husband, l)ut tlu 
court ruled positively against him on 
til is point.

Greenwood Cemetery, Knoxville, Tenn. 
amount received from lot sales is set 
aside. 
The directors are lot owners, who 
intend making Greenwood Cemetery 
a beautiful place for the living to visit 
as well as for the dead to rest. 
A Ladies’ Flower Association has 
been formed among the families of 
lot owners and in June conducted an 
interesting flower day ceremony, the 
first ever seen in Knoxville. The cere- 
mony was well attended from the city 
and suburbs, and consisted of a simple, 
impressive musical program and an 
address, after which the graves were 
strewn with flowers. The program in 
full which may be suggestive to oth- 
ers was as follows:

THE COURT ON 
A probate proceeding recently came 
before a Chicago court, in the 
form of a petition, filed by a relative 
of a deceased person, for an order 
requiring executor to disinter remains 
and bury elsewhere, the plea being 
the smallness of the lot and that the 
last interment constituted desecration 
of one or more of the graves already 
there. The petition was dismissed at 
petitioner’s cost, the judge assigning 
Hare and will cost $6,000. It will in- 
clude a double gateway connected by 
the pergola and fourteen posts of gray 
Tennessee marble. 
Native pines, old and beautiful, cork 
bark elms and gums, flowering dog- 
woods, magnolias and holly were left 
where nature had planted thefn and 
additional ornamental trees and 
shrubs were added: These have in 
three short years transformed "this 
ground from a graveyard to a model 
burial park. 
The roads are built of the beautiful 
pink Tennessee marble. A sundial on 
a pedestal of light gray marble, beau- 
tifully polished, standing as a monu- 
ment to the resources of Tennessee, 
was also designed by Mr. Lawhon. 
Rising to the south of the burial 
section is a beautiful mountain slope 
reaching an elevation of twelve hun- 
dred feet above sea level and making 
a view point from which one can look 
over a country grand and beautiful. 
On clear days one can see into Ken- 
tucky, a corner of Virginia, North 
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. A 
road to this summit with five per cent 
grade has been planned and a com- 
bined shelter house and water reser- 
voir will be located there. 
From this point, looking down on 
the cemetery proper, may be seen the 
full realization of the landscape archi- 
tect’s plan. 
The directors of Greenwood have 
also planned that this sacred resting 
place shall forever be kept beautiful 
and have provided a perpetual care 
fund, to which one-fourth of the
