PARK AND CEMETERY. 
Elmhurst, the new cemetery at Jol- 
iet, 111., has let the contract to Mateer 
Bros., for the erection of a chapel and 
receiving vault and office building, the 
two structures to cost $15,000. They 
will be of Gothic architecture, of re- 
enforced concrete construction and 
with red tile roofs. 
Rev. Father T. J. Holland, in 
charge of Holy Cross Cemetery, Mal- 
den, Mass., is to spend $40,000 in im- 
proving the grounds. A new adminis- 
tration building for Superintendent 
Rafferty is to be built and offices 
now maintained in Boston abandoned. 
Holy Cross has about 100,000 inter- 
ments, the annual average being about 
,3,000. 
Two greenhouses have been erected 
in Oak Grove Cemetery, Fall River, 
Mass., the beginning of a range of 
eight houses and a conservator}^ to be 
erected as needed. The stock is used 
to supply lot owners and for the parks 
and cemeteries which are under the 
management of a commission. The 
greenhouses were erected by the 
Weathered Co. Egbert Lawton is su- 
perintendent of Oak Grove Cemetery 
and Howard Lothrop superintendent 
of parks. 
The Odd Fellows Cemetery, Sacra- 
mento, Cal., is a modern lawn tract 
of twelve acres, opened about three 
years ago. H. W. Leonard has been 
superintendent for about a year. 
The National Burial Device Co., of 
Coldwater, Mich., who manufactured 
the well known National casket low- 
ering device, have just installed one 
of their casket elevators in Montrose 
Cemetery chapel in Chicago. This 
firm makes a specialty of chapel de- 
vices but this one is specially con- 
structed. It is set in the tiling and 
provided with a platform that comes 
level with the tile floor so that a 
church truck with the casket is rolled 
directly on the device platform and 
after the services are .concluded the 
operator in the basement is signaled 
by an electric button and the casket 
quietly sinks from view without any 
apparent manipulation. The casket 
can be again raised to the chapel as 
easily as it disappeared. It makes a 
substantial addition to their already 
elegant chapel. Mr. R. R. Ki nney, 
president of the National Burial De- 
vice Co., is the inventor of the Nation- 
al Device and an expert in this line 
of machinery. 
O. C. Simonds of Chicago has been 
engaged to draw up the planting plan 
for Grand Lawn Cemetery of Detroit, 
Mich. Many other improvements 
Hardy and Tender Water Lilies, 
Nelumbiums, Victorias, etc. 
These make appropriate decoration for parks, cem- 
eteries, etc. Ourlististhe mostcomplete in thiscountry,
