Wm. Deering & Co., of Chicago, invite the at- 
tention of cemetery officials to their horse lawn 
mower advertised in this issue. This mower which 
was the only horse lawn mower to receive an award 
at the World’s Fair is recommended as being easily 
operated and very effective. The manufacturers

George E. Painter, superintendent of West Lau- 
rel Hill cemetery, Philadelphia, and Miss M. Heiner 
of that city were married February 6th. The MOD- 
ERN Cemetery extends congiatulations. 
Mr. Eugene Cushman, superintendent of Green- 
wood cemetery writes to the Modern Cemetery 
that the statement credited to him last month in re- 
ference to filling in the lakes at Greenwood on ac- 
count of green scum is not in accordance with the 
facts. One of the lakes has been filled in and 
another one probably will be, but not for the rea- 
sons stated. 
Several new aspirants for cemetery trade in the 
way of flowers, shrubs, trees etc., will be found in 
our advertising columns this month. Our readers who 
may require new stock will find it to their interest 
to address the advertising patrons of the Modern 
Cemetery and when corresponding they will con- 
fer a mutual favor by mentioning the name of the 
paper. 
The executive committee of the Association of 
American Cemetery Superintendents are especially 
desirous of receiving suggestions in the way of top- 
ics or matters for discussion at the next convention 
to be held at Philadelphia. Communications ad- 
dressed to Geo. E. Rhedemeyer, Harleigh cemetery, 
Camden, N. J., who is chairman of the committee 
will receive attention. When the subjects for dis- 
cussion are of sufficient importance to justify the 
writing of papers upon them it is necessary to make 
the assignments at the earliest possible time, it will 
therefore facilitate the work of the committee if 
members who contemplate offering suggestions will 
do so at once.
