and engaged in the practice of land- 
scape architecture in that city, has 
been engaged to superintend and de- 
velop Elmwood Cemetery, Chicago, 
and will take up his new duties Aug- 
ust 1. Mr. Lawson expects to devote 
most of his time for several years to 
the development of the grounds, and 
systematizing the management of the 
tract, and will make his home in Chi- 
cago during that time. Mr. Lawson 
has recently invented a device for 
casting cement markers for lots, 
graves, etc., which he claims has 
solved the marker problem. The de- 
vice is simple in construction and 
easily operated. With it an intelli- 
gent workman can make from 10 to 
50 numbered posts or markers 4j4xl5 
inches, an hour. The device is adver- 
tised on another page and descriptive 
circulars will be sent on request. 
Ralph Wainwright, of New Britain, 
Conn., has been appointed superin- 
tendent of Walnut Hill Park in that 
city, and will begin his duties in that 
capacity September 1. Mr. Wainwright 
is a graduate of the Yale Forestry 
School and has made a special study 
of arboriculture and shrubbery. 
Owing to the fact that many people 
do not seem to understand the limit 
of general application and usefulness 
of the Fairmount Weed Killer, manu- 
factured by the Fairmount Chemical 
Laboratory of Philadelphia, the man- 
'ufacturers think it necessary to make 
some explanation of its uses. This 
preparation will kill anything that 
grows. It was designed for paths, 
gutters and roadways, and it must be 
understood that it cannot be used 
otherwise except as an application for 
individual plants separately treated, 
unless the user can afford to wait 
from three to six months which is 
the shortest time within which the 
sterilitt' of the soil can be over- 
come after its use. It is this thor- 
oughness in eradicating everything 
that makes it valuable for roads and 
walks. The Fairmount was the first 
weed killer on the market and is wide- 
ly used in parks and cemeteries.
