ROSEDALE CEMETERY, LOS ANGELES, CAL. 
The views of Rosedale Cemetery, 
Los Angeles, Cal., shown herewith 
are typical of the landscape beauties 
of that state and well illustrate the su- 
periority of the modern burial park 
with its well-kept drives, its green 
lawns, its ornamental trees and won- 
derful profusion of vegetation over 
the graveyard of former days where 
weeds flourished and where trees and 
flowers withered and died for lack of 
care. 
Rosedale long ago adopted the lawn 
plan of management and all copings 
or other artificial irregularities around 
lots are prohibited and the result- 
ing handsome lawns make it one of 
the most beautiful and attractive cem- 
eteries in Southern California. Twen- 
ty years of constant care have given 
it a marvelous growth of semi-tropical 
trees, of multi-colored foliage and 
graceful shapes of luxuriant flowering 
shrubberj' and smaller plants. .L 
more varied or extensive representa- 
tion of California flora is not to be 
found in any of the Los .\ngcles 
parks. 
.Lll of the newer sections are un- 
der perpetual care and the trust fund 
now amounts to over $250,000, said to 
be the largest fund for this purpose 
west of the Rocky Mountains. 
The cemetery proper includes about 
80 acres. The grounds are perfectly 
drained and have an unlimited supply 
of artesian water, which is distribu- 
ted by electric power from the ceme- 
tery’s own plant. 
Rosedale is on the gentle slopes in 
the southwestern part of the city. 
near the best residence sections with- 
in easy driving distance by well-im- 
proved streets and is also reached by 
three lines of electric cars. 
The association has purchased an 
additional tract of l;ind beyond the 
city limits, along the electric road 
leading from the city to the ocean. 
Tliis is known as the "New Rosedale 
Cemetery." and is located on the high- 
c't divide towards the west, between 
the mountains and the ocean. It 
commands a \-iew th.at is unsurpassed 
of the mountains, the ocean, and the 
intervening valleys. This tract was 
surveyed and platted by Larnshaw & 
Punshon of Cincinnati. 
All administrative structures, neces- 
sary or convenient to the conduct of 
a complete cemetery are to be found 
here. The crematory was erected in
