PARK AND CEMETERY. 
vant and had done much good work in 
beautifying the parks and squares of the 
city. During the period of his manage- 
ment the area of the parks has been 
greatly enlarged and he also established 
a nursery in Lafontaine park which has 
furnished a large number of fine trees 
each year for use in the parks. Mr. 
Pinoteau was born at Villeneuve, 
France, August 13 , 1855 , and began to 
study at the College of Horticulture of 
the Department of Cher. He migrated 
to Canada in May, 1874 , and eight years 
later took charge of the greenhouses in 
Mount Royal Park in Montreal under 
the direction of Wm. McGibbon, at 
that time park superintendent and whom 
Mr. Pinoteau followed in this office. 
He was an active member of the Mon- 
treal French Mutual Society and of the 
Veterans of t]ie Army and Navy of 
France and he received the decoration 
of the Merite Agricole de France, Aug- 
ust 4 , 1908 . 
The board of managers of the Home- 
wood Cemetery, Pittsburg, Pa., record 
with deep regret the death of Thomas 
Wightman, an original incorporator of 
the cemetery, and many years a mem- 
ber of this board and its president when 
he died. One of Pittsburg’s leading 
citizens and a man upon whose time 
large demands were made by the many 
financial and philanthropic works in 
which he was engaged, he nevertheless 
found time to give to this board his 
earnest co-operation, and for his con- 
stant attendance at the board’s meetings 
to his influence the cemetery is greatly 
indebted for its successful growth and 
development. Mr. E. M. Bigelow is 
now acting president. 
ASKED AND ANSWERED 
An Indiana cemetery superintendent 
writes: “We have a pest of a plant 
growing in our cemetery which is 
known locally as buckhorn. It grows as 
rapidly in dry weather as in wet and 
needs cutting every four or five days 
to prevent its seeding. We have fought 
it in this way for some four or five 
years without progress. Have also 
pulled quite a bit of it up as thought by 
the roots. The center . of the plant 
which bears the seed grows six or eight 
inches high and is a hard stem with the 
seed at the end, which is about the size 
of a head of timothy but not so long.” 
Answer by Sid. J. Hare, Kansas City, 
Mo. : “The grass you speak of we call 
crab grass for which we have found no 
cure, but I am aiming to supplant it 
with white clover and fertilize with 
phosphates instead of nitrates to en- 
courage the clover growth, hoping to 
get rid of it that way.”
