PARK AND CEMETERY . 
We have recently received from Mr. 
F. T. Ramsey of the Austin Nursery, 
Austin, Tex., a photograph of the mon- 
ument to the late beloved Governor 
Hogg of Texas, showing his grave sur- 
rounded by pecan trees. Governor 
Hogg was deeply interested in this nut. 
considering it to be one of the great- 
est of Texas’ assets, and it is very evi- 
dent from an article contributed. by Mr. 
Ramsey to “Farm and Ranch” of Dal- 
las, that enthusiasm for the pecan did 
not “perish” from Texas when the late 
governor relinquished his earthly duties.

The Doddridge 
Grave Linings 
are more highly appreciated 
in cold, stormy weather than 
at any other time. That soft, 
warm, comfortable effect be- 
ing in such contrast to the 
cold gloomy appearance of 
the ordinary grave that both 
you and your customers are 
delighted with them. Then 
the waterproof backs insure 
you a nice clean lining. You 
need them more in the winter 
months than any other time. 
Then don’t forget our dirt 
covers and grave tents. 
Winter is coming and you 
will need them too. We 
make our waterproof dirt 
covers, 12x12 and our light- 
weight covers, 9x12, at $1.85. 
This is just what you want 
for dry weather— they are 
so easily handled that you 
would dread to use the 
heavy ones again.

for particulars.

By Spraying Then 
Spraying is essential to the health of your 
trees; but all pumps can’t develop the pres- 
sure necessary to do the work right. 
Deming Power Sprayers 
develop and maintain very high pressures. Used 
in the parks and on the trees of some of our 
largest cities, and upon famous estates. Speci-
