PARK AND CEMETERY. 
The association will plant trees and 
shrubs in accordance with the general plan 
for the ornamentation of the grounds and 
no additional planting by lot owners will 
be permitted. The Board of Directors have 
no wish to interfere with the tastes of 
individuals as to the style of their im- 
provements, but in justice to the interests 
of the cemetery, they reserve to themselves 
the right of preventing or removing any 
structure, tree, plant or other object which 
they shall deem injurious to the general 
good appearance of the grounds and ad- 
joining lots. No fences, coping or other 
enclosures of any kind will be permitted. 
Boxes, shells, artificial flowers and similar 
articles scattered upon the graves and lots 
are entirely inconsistent with the proper 
keeping of the grounds and will not be 
permitted. 
No filling or grading of lots other than 
to eliminate irregularities of the ground 
will be permitted. Unfilled urns will not 
be allowed to remain on lots after June 
15. They will be removed and stored, sub- 
ject to the order of the lot owner. 
To prevent unsightly crowding, not 
more than one monument will be permit- 
ted on an entire lot, or half lot, where 
half lots are sold. 
Grave markers shall be not more than 
30 inches in length, 12 inches in thickness, 
nor less than 16 inches in length and 8 
inches in thickness, and shall not extend 
more than 12 inches above the surface of 
the ground. On lots having the graves 
arranged with the view of placing a mon- 
ument, all grave markers must be set at 
the end of the grave farthest from the 
monument, or where designated by the as- 
sociation. No monument shall be erected 
on any lot in blocks 8, 11, 12, 14, or in sec- 
tions hereafter platted for sale without first 
submitting plans of same to the cemetery 
association for approval. 
Grave markers may be erected in the 
single space sections, the dimensions of 
which do not exceed 30 inches in length, 
16 inches in thickness and 36 inches in 
height. 
Granite is considered the best and most 
durable materials for memorials. Lime- 
stone, sandstone and soapstone are unfit 
for such purposes and their use will not 
be permitted. 
Corner stones on lots must not project 
above the surface of the ground, and to 
avoid injury to them in mowing, the let- 
tering should be sunken. 
No monument, marker or other struc- 
ture made of a metallic substance other 
than standard bronze will be allowed, ex- 
cept urns (they should have reservoirs), 
which may be made of iron or stone. 
Each foundation must be as long and as 
wide as the base stone resting upon it, and 
for monuments shall be not less than four 
feet deep ; for markers not less than two 
feet deep, unless the marker is a single 
piece extending two feet below the surface 
of the ground. All foundations shall be 
constructed of concrete, shall not extend 
above the surface of the ground, and must 
be constructed by the cemetery association. 
Orders for same must be given at least 
two weeks in advance of time memorial 
is to be set, and no foundations will be 
constructed between November 1 and April 
1, nor between May 15 and June 1. Ma- 
terial for stone work will not be allowed 
to remain in the cemetery longer than is 
necessary to complete the work, and refuse 
and unused material must be removed as 
soon as the work is completed. In case of 
neglect or violation of these rules same 
will be removed by the association at the 
expense of the lot owner. 
PLANNING THE COUNTRY SCHOOL GROUNDS 
The Massachusetts Agricultural College 
has just issued a very interesting illus- 
trated bulletin on “Country School Grounds” 
that treats this very practical problem of 
landscape development in a helpful and in- 
teresting manner. The bulletin is the work 
of F. A. Waugh, professor of landscape 
gardening, and P. H. El wood, Jr., exten- 
sion instructor in civic improvement, and 
illustrates four suggestive plans for model 
lay-outs of country school grounds.
