THE COVER ILLUSTRATION. 
The fencing of large parks or estates or 
long boulevards demands especially careful 
attention both in the kind of fence selected 
and in its setting and care. 
The first requirements are stability and 
strength, and a plain, substantial style of 
fence such as the one shown on the cover 
of this issue generally receives first con- 
sideration. 
Every detail of construction and setting 
should be carefully looked after. When a 
long stretch of fence lines up as straight 
and strong as the one illustrated, it means 
that the designing and erecting has been 
thoroughly done by skilled, experienced 
hands from the blue print to the finished 
work. 
This handsome length of fence is part 
of a long stretch of specially designed park 
fence furnished by the Stewart Iron Works 
Co. of Cincinnati. Ohio.
