PUBLISHER'S NOTES 
The Illinois Outdoor Improvement 
Association has been formed at Ur- 
bana at the suggestion of President 
Edmund J. James of the University 
of Illinois, but it is now only in tem- 
porar}' form. A committee upon or- 
ganization has been named with Pres- 
ident James as chairman that will 
submit to a general state meeting in 
the fall a plan for work. The pur- 
pose of this association is primarily 
to gather and distribute facts which 
will help owners and municipalities 
in a more artistic improvement of 
their properties, this distribution to 
be accomplished by literature and lec- 
tures. Incidentally the officers of the 
association would like to be of per- 
sonal use to local improvement or- 
ganizations. The association will 
also take a lively interest in the pres- 
ervation and development of any beau- 
tiful or historical landscape. A. 
Phelps Wyman, landscape architect, 
Steinway Hall, Chicago, who is secre- 
tary of the association, is sending out 
some well-prepared literature to pro- 
mote the work. 
The third annual meeting of the 
American Association of Railroad 
Gardeners will be held in Philadel- 
phia, August 24. The program which 
has been prepared will be of great 
interest and will be supplemented by 
the inspection of some of the best 
examples of railroad gardening in 
the country. All persons interested in 
this feature of railroad work will be 
cordially welcome, and it is to be 
hoped that all eligible for member- 
ship will help to swell the roll. 
Levant L. Mason of Jamestown, 
N. Y., one of the oldest living mem- 
bers of the Association of Cemetery 
Superintendents, has just retired from 
active business at the age of 82. For 
60 years he has conducted a jewelry 
business in Jamestown and has 
served his community faithfully in 
man}" ways as a public spirited and 
high minded citizen. For years Mr.
