PARK AND CEMETERY. 
trated. The massive posts of sap-face stone 
add an ornamental touch to the well- 
arranged gateway which is a part of 840 
feet of new fencing on this part of the 
grounds. The posts are 3 feet square and 
11 feet high. The pickets are of groove 
steel, 7 feet high and 4 inches from center 
to center. This fence has been set eight 
feet back from the boundary line to permit 
of massed border planting along the entire 
frontage between fence and sidewalk. Roses 
will be planted at the posts and hardy 
shrubbery and perennials between the 
posts. The object is to have a continuous 
floral display from early spring until late 
fall. 
A simple and inexpensive form of the 
massive stone post entrance is seen in the 
main entrance to Brookville Cemetery, 
Brookville, Pa., which was erected at a 
cost of $800. This cemetery has also re- 
cently built an interesting concrete foun- 
tain 60 feet in diameter and 4 feet deep. 
The center of the fountain contains a spray 
of pyramid shape and there are four green 
copper frogs that spray water from their 
mouth. The center is built up in rough 
rock work with a small basin of concrete at 
the base of the spray. This was filled with 
a water plant in the shape of an umbrella. 
A green Jacob’s ladder was planted and 
covered most of the rock work. One hun- 
dred red geraniums were planted around 
"the outer edges. There are four approaches, 
all centering at the fountain, and at the 
four corners a large vase is placed con- 
taining palms, variegated vinca and gerani- 
ums. The drive is made of rolled cinders 
and outlined with California privet hedge 
grown eight inches high and trimmed 
square. They have also planted twenty- 
four silver leaf and bark weeping maple 
trees on drive with four catalpa trees on 
•corners. The approach to the fountain is 
through an amphitheater of native grown 
hemlock five feet high and trimmed round, 
with two pergolas as an entrance to the 
■enclosure where the annual Flower Day 
program is held each year. The amphi- 
theater is laid out inside in three circles, 
one large and two small, with walk circling 
around. In the middle circle is placed a 
sundial. 
THE COVER ILLUSTRATION. 
The entrance to Greenwood Cemetery, 
Dallas, Tex., illustrated on the cover of 
this issue, is a type of the all-metal entrance, 
the arch posts and fences all being ex- 
ecuted in metal. This is a style of gate- 
way very popular with the smaller ceme- 
teries where the driveway is not very wide, 
although it is not by any means restricted 
to the smaller sizes. The posts are made 
in many different designs and sizes. The 
larger posts of this character, of which an 
example was shown on the cover of our 
October issue, are often executed in open 
scroll-work designs that can be made as 
ornamental and massive as the purchaser 
may desire. The one shown this month is 
the closed post pattern that can also be 
used in many varieties and in many com- 
binations with the main arch and side 
arches. The contract for this entrance also 
included 4,000 feet of fence, all of which 
was designed and built by the Stewart Iron 
Works Company, of Cincinnati, Ohio. They 
have many styles of the all-iron entrance 
and archways which they will be glad to 
show to anyone interested in this form of 
entrance.
