CONTRASTING CEMETERY LANDSCAPE PICTURES 
The two cemeter}’ views shown on 
this and the next page typify con- 
trasting landscape effects that are 
both produced with consummate art 
in the two cemeteries in which the 
pictures were made. The one illus- 
trates the problem of relieving and 
been done by the lilac shrubs in lux- 
uriant bloom in the foreground. The 
picture is from the handsome illus- 
trated book of the cemetery of which 
mention has been previously made in 
these pages. 
The other picture is one of the 
years in Allegheny shows to better 
advantage than the lands that have 
been regraded and reseeded to lawn. 
During the last seven years over 25 
acres in large patches here and there 
over the grounds have been treated 
in this way, and this does not include 
MOROSINI MAUSOLEUM AND ITS SETTING, WOODLAWN CEMETERY, NEW Y'ORK CITY'. 
setting off mausoleum work and the 
other the making of those broad, un- 
dulating, park sections that form the 
chief beauty of the modern rural cem- 
etery. 
The G. P. Morosini mausoleum il- 
lustrated is in Woodlawn Cemetery, 
New York, and is a fine piece of 
highly finished mortuary architecture 
in Pink Westerly granite. The sharp 
lines of its gables projecting one on 
each side, make particularly neces- 
sary some form of planting to relieve 
the angles and corners and make 
them blend with the landscape. The 
picture shows how effectively this has 
plates from the elaborate portfolio 
of views and compendium of informa- 
tion issued by Allegheny Cemetery 
of Pittsburg, of which several exam- 
ples have already been shown in these 
pages. It is one of the finest park 
pictures to be seen in anj' cemetery, 
and reveals a magnificent stretch of 
landscape looking from section 22 
across Section 28 to the Penn Avenue 
entrance, whose massive stone tower 
may be seen in the distance. This 
tower and the architecture of the 
entrance it marks have previously 
been illustrated in Park and Cemetery. 
Perhaps no improvement of recent 
the hundreds of private lots that have 
been regraded and seeded. 
Beginning at Penn avenue, all of 
the field to the left, going out, was 
regraded and reseeded; so too was 
that beautiful broad lawn to the right. 
A few years ago the ugliest thing in 
the cemetery was the unkempt naked 
gravel hill forming the west end of 
Section 28; and across the road from 
it the deep ravine, a natural dump 
for all debris. Today the hill is gone, 
and a smooth grassy slope — one of 
the choicest sections of the cemetery 
— is there instead. And into the ra- 
vine, 37 feet deep, the gravel hill
