PUBLISHER’S NOTES 
The habits of ground moles and di- 
rections for catching these destruct- 
ive little animals are given in a cir- 
cular issued by George W. Heartley, 
manufacturer, 900-908 Summit street, 
Toledo, Ohio. The Heartley trap was 
given a severe test in Oakwoods Cem- 
etery, Adrian, Mich., by Supt. Frank 
E. Wilbee, who found it made good 
the claims of superiority of the manu- 
facturer. 
The Lansing Wheelbarrow Com- 
pany, Lansing, Mich., manufacture the 
lawn cart for carrying leaves and for 
other uses about parks and cemeter- 
ies, shown above. They are also 
manufacturers of all styles of wheel-

barrows. Their plant at Lansing, 
Mich., covers twelve acres and a great 
variety of these goods are turned out. 
For the convenience of their custom- 
ers they have established warehouses 
in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, 
Kansas City, Minneapolis, and San 
Francisco. A catalog of the goods 
they manufacture will be sent on ap- 
plication. 
Howard Evarts Weed, of Chicago, 
on his western trip, recently noted in 
these pages, delivered an illustrated 
lecture at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on “A 
More Beautiful Cedar Rapids.” He 
considered briefly the general subject 
of civic improvements and city beauti- 
fication with a detailed discussion of 
landscape gardening as applicable to 
the city, the park and the individual 
home.

Is Your Cemetery Satisfactory? 
Are you caring for it economically ? 
Is green grass the leading feature 
with shrubbery to give a proper set- 
ting to the monuments? IF NOT, 
then you need Howard Evarts W eed. 
Landscape Architect, 1715 Railway 
Exchange, Chicago, to modernize 
things for you. 
“The lot owners won’t let us” you 
say? If so, you have gone at it in 
the wrong way. You need Weed to 
give his stereopticon lecture — “More 
Beautiful Cemeteries” — in your 
town to point out the right way. By 
means of the stereopticon pictures the 
difference between the good and bad, 
between the graveyard and the mod- 
ern park cemetery is vividly shown. 
You are wasting your efforts in 
caring for the cemetery under present 
conditions. Get out of the rut. Wake 
up, even if you do have charge of 
dead people. 
Write Weed today and ke will send you 
some interesting literature.
