PARK AND CEMETERY. 
LANDSCAPE PICTURES FROM TWO CEMETERIES 
WELL PLANTED LOT 
IN WOODLAWN CEM- 
ETERY. NEW YORK, 
DESIGNED BY OLM- 
STED BROTHERS, 
BROOKLINE. MASS. 
On these pages and on the cover 
we show, this month, several more 
specimens of the art of making land- 
scape pictures in the cemetery in il- 
lustrations from the books issued In' 
Woodlawn Cemetery in Xew York, 
and Alleghany, of Pittsburgh, that 
have been mentioned in these pages 
recently. 
The Louise Constable lot in Wood- 
lawn, illustrated on this page, is a 
fine example of how a unified and 
pleasing picture may be made from 
an individual lot with the aid of a 
proper landscape plan and careful at- 
tention to the problem in hand. The 
planting plan for this lot was fur- 
nished by Olmsted Brothers, of 
Brookline, Mass,, and the naturalis- 
tic landscape effects they have se- 
cured are worthy of careful stud)'. 
The Virginia red cedar is made prom- 
inent in the scene, and the rockery 
is planted with ''edums, junipers. 
phlox and a variety of creepers. The 
monument is of Barre granite and 
is a distinguished example of the 
popular type of Celtic cross. 
The picture on the cover, also a 
scene in Woodlawn, shows the white 
dogwood in bloom. The fine speci- 
men of this rare bloomer is skilfully 
placed on the lawn to lend color and 
variety to the cemetery scene and 
contrast well with the heavier vege- 
tation in the background. 
On the opposite page 
is a view of what is 
known as “Lover’s 
Lane” in Allegheny 
Cemetery. It is a 
most striking and pic- 
turesque effect in in- 
formal avenue making. 
The grass walk, and 
the well-chosen plant- 
ing that emphasizes the 
length and outline of 
the pathway are as 
park-like and peaceful 
as any scene that could 
be imagined in a park. 
The park effect is fur- 
ther enhanced by the 
fact that there are no 
monuments or anything 
suggestive of the cem- 
etery in sight.
