the American cemetery-builder was plan- 
ning for convenience and economy. It 
was not often that he gave any thought 
to artistic arrangement. Nor was it 
customary to make any provision for 
the care of the grounds. 
In the modern cemetery the order is 
reversed. The great demand is for a 
beautiful setting. Economy and con- 
venience have to take second place. 
The upper picture shows you the 
type of neglected graveyard that is fast 
passing away. At the bottom of the 
page is a view in Woodlawn Cemetery, 
New York City. The old spire monument was put up in 1869. The 
Wolcott Memorial was erected in 1906. Both are Vermont marble and 
both are in excellent condition.
