PARK AND CEMETERY. 
GLIMPSE OB' WHITE PARK, RIVERSIDE, CAL., WITH MOLNTAINS IN THE BACKGROUND. 
25,000 trees on the streets when the 
new system of planting was com- 
menced, give some idea of the extent 
of Riverside’s tree planted streets. 
With the exception of some outlying 
streets and a few streets and isolated 
blocks and parts of blocks waiting for 
heavy grading before planting, the 
streets of the city are now practically 
planted to shade or ornamental trees, 
including most of the streets of the 
newly laid out sections. 
One of the accompanying photo- 
graphs shows a portion of the first 
plantings in 1905 with old peppers 
beyond. All the peppers shown were 
cut back heavily each year to secure 
stems strong enough to support them 
during heavy winds, and to secure 
symmetrical form. Semi-tropical ev- 
ergreen trees are mostly demanded by 
Riverside people and most admired 
by visitors, hence few deciduous trees 
are planted. 
Riverside has also a substantial and 
well developed park system for a city 
of its size. White Park, because of 
some of its special features, has at- 
tracted much attention abroad as well 
as at home. The collection of cacti, 
which Mr. White took great inter- 
est in bringing together through 
many years, is one of the largest and 
most interesting outdoor collections 
in existence. 
In Fairmount Park some interest- 
ing aquatic features are now being 
developed as a gift from Mr. George 
N. Reynolds, v.dio has agreed to fur- 
nish the funds for enlarging the up- 
per part of the lake, forming islands 
to be connected by bridges and beau- 
tified by aquatic plants, the margins 
set to ornamental plants, shrubs and 
trees. The construction work is now 
being rapidly prosecuted. Completed 
at an expense of several thousand dol- 
lars, it will be one of the most unusu- 
al and interesting features of the 
park.

The Insecticide Act of 1910 became 
effective January 1. Joint regulations 
for its enforcement have just been is- 
sued by the secretaries of the Treas- 
ury. of Agriculture and of Commerce 
and Labor. The act forbids the man- 
ufacture or sale in Federal territory 
of adulterated or misbranded insecti- 
cides and fungicides, especially men-

in P-ARK AND Cemetery. The principal 
feature of the park is the substantially 
built scenic drive, winding around the 
mountain and reaching the top, from 
which the panoramic views in all di- 
rections are excelled by few spots in 
America. The roadway was built at 
a cost of $30,000, and is largely cut 
through rock. Going up, it has a 
grade of but 4 per cent. The sepa- 
rate road down has an 8 per cent 
grade. In all about $60,000 has been 
spent on developing this park. 
Other parks are Chemewa, 20 acres, 
and Evans Athletic Park, comprising 
about eleven acres.

portant feature. 
Under the regulations, samples of 
insecticides and fungicides are to be 
collected by purchase by agents of the 
United States Department of Agricul- 
ture, and analyzed or examined by 
such chemist or examiner as the Sec- 
retary of Agriculture may designate. 
If a sample then appears to be adul- 
terated or misbranded, a private hear-
