Comas Siberica Alba— Red Trigged Dogwood. A most beautiful Shrub 
as well as a hedge plant ; for 
winter effect its stems and 
branches are a bright crim- 
son. Unlike many of the 
other Dogwoods, it is suited 
for hedge work, as many of 
them will not stand pruning. 
This variety originated in 
Siberia and is a special strain, 
there being a number of 
others much like it, but not 
so hardy or brightly colored. 
Its hardiness and winter col- 
oring makes it very attractive 
for City Hedging; it is also 
valuable fur clumping in 
shrubs.

Have you adopted 
our grave linings 
yet? 
If not you should not 
lose another day in doing 
so. The days of the un- 
lined grave are numbered, 
and since our linings are 
made for the express pur- 
pose of lining graves and 
are so easily adjusted and 
fill all requirements so sat- 
isfactorily it can but follow 
that they will soon be used 
by all undertakers who want 
to do credit to their calling. 
Putting a fine casket into 
an unlined grave is like put- 
ting parlor furniture into 
the barn.
