All flower beds are planted by 
cemetery employes at the expense of 
the lot owners. Prices for planting 
and care for one year range from 
$1.50 up, according to the size of the 
bed and the kinds of plants selected. 
Plants may be obtained at the ceme- 
tery if desired. 
One of the pictures illustrated here 
shows a view of the gate lodge, seen 
from without the grounds. The lodge 
contains a commodious waiting room, 
which may be used for chapel services 
when desired. In addition the Lodge 
contains the administrative ofifices, 
with fireproof vaults and necessary 
toilet accommodations. The base- 
ment is fitted with ample receiving 
vaults and the entire structure heated 
by steam and lighted by electricity. 
The impressive sweep of splendid 
lawn, the graceful roadways winding 
among the background of hills, trees 
and shrubs, produce a beautiful set- 
ting for this satisfying and appropri- 
ate structure. 
The lay-out and planting of the en- 
trance and its surroundings have been 
well planned for the convenience of 
traffic, the work of administration, 
and the production of a pleasing land- 
scape picture. 
A large tract such as this is fortu- 
nate to have started with an adequate 
complete plan for its orderlj' devel- 
opment, and with perpetual care 
throughout. 
The cemetery is nortliwest of the 
city on Grand River avenue and is 
reached in forty-five minutes by the 
Orchard Lake cars. City offices are 
maintained at 28 Home Pank Bldg. 
The officers of the company are; 
President and treasurer, C. M. Bur- 
ton; vice-president, James S. Holden; 
secretary, M. M. Wilmarth; superin- 
tendent, W. J. Stringer; engineer, E. 
B. Wilhelm. 
The book from which we show the 
accompanying pictures, has many other 
fine illustrations and well-prepared 
descriptive matter writ, ten by E. B. 
Wilhelm. 
The printing, typograph\- and illus- 
trations have been carefully exe- 
cuted to make one of the finest 
of the handsome cemetery books 
of views. The illustrations are all 
of the size of the two shown here 
and occupy every other page through- 
out the book, the opposite being 
given to brief descriptive matter appro- 
priate to the illustration. The text is 
well-prepared and is given an unusual 
typographic form. The book is printed 
in a rich brown color.
