Publisher’s Notes. 
James C. Parkinson, for five years 
superintendent of Greenmonnt Ceme- 
tery, Baltimore, Md., has resigned to ac- 
cept the position of superintendent of 
the new Woodlawn Cemetery, near 
Gwynn Oak, Baltimore. Mr. Parkin- 
son has inaugurated a number of sub- 
stantial improvements during his ad- 
ministration. He worked three years to 
perfect a card system of all the burials, 
and now has every interment since the 
cemetery was established recorded both 
alphabetically and by location. 
The interesting symposium on Per- 
petual Care in American Cemeteries 
that appeared in Park and Cemetery 
has been published in book form with 
the addition of critical comments by W. 
X. Rudd, a discussion of “The Legal 
Phases of Perpetual Care” by W. S. 
Pirie, and a number of forms for agree- 
ments used by leading cemeteries. The 
book will be found of value in increas- 
ing interest among cemetery boards and 
lot holders, and copies wanted for this 
purpose may be had for 50c each if three 
or more are taken. Single copies are 
60c. A California cemetery association 
writes : “We received the copy of the 
book, ‘Perpetual Care,’ and it has cre- 
ated so much interest in the subject that 
we want two more of them for our di- 
rectors to study.” 
Wm. B. Jones succeeds the late Mr. 
John Ferguson as superintendent at 
Highwood Cemetery, Brighton Road, 
Allegheny, Pa. 
Enos A. Mills, a well known guide in

Forest,” before the Biennial Conference 
of Women’s Clubs in St. Paul, June 4.

rangement of grounds ; all forms of

especially where unique or individual 
ideas are to be expressed. 
E. C. Brown’s Auto-Spray 
One of the best of all the hand or 
small sprayers is the Auto-Spray which 
E. C. Brown & Co., oi Rochester, New 
Tork, .advertise on another page. It 
operates on the compressed air princi- 
ple. First the air pumping is done, and 
not much is required. The 4-gallon tank 
is carried on the back and holds mate- 
rial and power enough to spray a quar- 
ter acre of vines. The pressure will be
