The white card used as a summary of 
the various division cards, and the requi- 
sition card are also produced. 
I enclose one of our time cards which 
I keep to make a cost account. Materials, 
etc., are charged up to their respective ac- 
counts and take care of themselves. I 
find my time cards very valuable in this 
respect and am able to get the exact cost 
in all branches of our work.

Combined Office, Residence and Wait- 
ing Room. 
We are contemplating erecting an office, 
residence and general waiting room all in 
the one building. I would be pleased to 
receive suggestions as to the proper con- 
struction of this building. Do you know 
of any recent modern office buildings? If 
so, would you kindly inform me? — C. F., 
N. Y. 
The consensus of opinion among ceme- 
tery men seems to be against the use of 
a combination building for office, resi- 
dence and general waiting room. One 
prominent superintendent writes : “I do 
not approve of superintendent’s residence 
in connection with office and waiting 
rooms. I really cannot see any reason why 
they should be combined, and I think it 
an injustice to both the superintendent’s 
family and the public. So my advice 
would be to keep the residence away from 
the office and the waiting room.” One 
building of this kind that is comparatively 
modern is in Riverside Cemetery, Roches- 
-ter, N. Y. ; F. Sheard, superintendent. 
This is quite a modern building, and Mr. 
Sheard could undoubtedly give you the 
name of the architect or any further par- 
ticulars regarding it that you may desire. 
M. L. Carr, architect, Indianapolis, Ind., 
designed quite a neat building of this kind 
for Forest Hills Cemetery, Shelbyville, 
Ind. The building is probably a smaller 
one than you would require, but if he 
looked the matter up any before making 
the drawings for this building it is pos- 
sible that his suggestions would be of some 
assistance to you. 
Tree Moving Machines. 
Editor Asked and Answered Depart- 
ment : I am in the market for a tree- 
moving machine in small size, something 
that will move a tree 6 to 8 inches in 
diameter. If you know of any one who 
handles this machine, would be glad to 
have his address. I would also like to 
have the address of some one who handles 
plans of landscape gardening. — J. B. M., 
La. 
The only firm we know who sells tree- 
moving machines is Isaac Hicks & Son, 
Westbury, L. I., N. Y. They do exten- 
sive tree moving and have a number of 
machines for that work, and could doubt- 
less furnish you with almost any size ap- 
paratus that you might want. In the Jan- 
uary issue of Park and Cemetery we pub- 
lished an article on moving trees in win- 
ter that might be of some interest to you, 
and perhaps of some assistance if you de- 
cided to construct an apparatus of your 
own or move your trees on stone trucks, 
as is sometimes done by tree movers up 
in this part of the country. Of course, 
they generally have a frozen ball of earth 
to handle up here, which you would not 
have, and this makes your proposition 
somewhat different from those we are ac- 
customed to handle in this part of the 
country. Concerning plans for landscape 
gardening work, any of the landscape 
architects whose advertisements you see in 
Park and Cemetery could furnish you 
with plans for any landscape improve- 
ments you might want to carry out.

ASSOCIATION EMPLOYMENT BUREAU 
A member who is superintendent of 
parks in a Metropolitan northern city 
wishes to change position on account of 
political interference with his work. 
Trained in horticulture, planning and 
development of parks; has done im- 
portant work of park development, and 
is thoroughly familiar with park work 
of every character; can furnish highest 
references as to ability to take charge 
of large city park system. Address 
“Politics,” care Secretary Levison. 
The Massachusetts Agricultural Col- 
lege, Amherst, Mass., is now graduating 
a number of trained men competent to 
fill a wide range of positions in park, 
tree or landscape work, and would be 
glad to correspond with Park Commis- 
sioners or others who may have open- 
ings for such services. This college 
offers one cf the most thorough and 
practical courses in agriculture, tree 
work and landscape gardening in the 
country. Its graduates have had a 
thorough training in landscape garden- 
ing and horticulture under Prof. F. A. 
Waugh, who undoubtedly is one of the 
best authorities of our day and it is safe 
to assume that they have been well 
trained and properly fitted for any po- 
sition in park work. 
Annual Proceedings and Bulletin No. 10. 
The Secretary’s office has just issued 
Bulletin No. 10 on “Park Utilization,” 
containing replies to a list of questions on 
utilizing the parks sent to members, and 
a very interesting brochure of 20 pages 
containing many useful suggestions and 
experiences on making the parks more 
useful, is the result. 
The proceedings of the last annual 
meeting have also been published, and 
members who have not received copies of 
either of these publications may have them 
upon request to the Secretary. 
SPRAYING DEVELOPMENTS IN MASSACHUSETTS 
Solid Stream versus Mist. A Brief Statement of the Writer’s 
Experience and Observation During the Last Six Years. 
By R. W. CURTIS, 
Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass. 
( Concluded.) 
In regard to some specific directions for 
common park and orchard insects, I can 
set down my experience briefly as follows : 
Gypsy Moth,— Use the best arsenate of 
lead obtainable at the rate of 8 lbs. to 100 
gallons water, and spray early and thor- 
oughly. If the work can not be done early 
the strength must be increased. As soon 
as the eggs are all laid, i. e., about the 
last of August, send a man over the whole 
place to creosote all egg masses up to 
twenty feet. This should be done before 
the leaves fall and obscure the base of 
the tree. The sooner it can be done the 
less the danger from squirrels scratching 
and scattering the egg masses which come 
in their lines of travel up and down the 
trees. For every man on the place should 
know that the eggs will hatch just the 
same whether they remain undisturbed in 
the original egg mass or whether the egg 
mass is broken and the eggs scattered on 
the snow or ground about the tree. Later, 
in small places with only light infesta- 
tions the trees may be climbed and the 
remaining egg masses creosoted. In this 
way the expense of spraying may often 
be avoided.
