THE COVER ILLUSTRATION. 
For our front cover picture this month 
we show a reproduction from a photo- 
graph of an iron fence especially suitable 
for enclosing cemeteries, public parks and 
playgrounds'. This is a very much “out 
of the ordinary” design, as will be seen 
from the illustration, and has the snap and 
style to it that adds the finishing touch to 
the beauty, dignity and harmony of ceme- 
tery, park or playground. The practical 
effectiveness of this style will no doubt 
be greatly admired by the more discrimi- 
nating cemetery superintendents, park and 
playground commissioners who want some- 
thing that is out of the ordinary. This 
fence can be had in most any height 
wanted, and with different size pickets, 
either square or round. The more popu- 
lar construction is 72 inches high with 
34-inch square pickets, spaced 5 inches on 
centers. The fence in question is a style 
made by The Stewart Iron Works Co., of 
Cincinnati, which is a sufficient guarantee 
that it is right in construction, in price, 
design, workmanship and finish. We have 
often called the attention of our readers 
to the importance of an iron fence and 
entrance to a cemetery, and they do 
not need to be again reminded that the 
modern cemetery needs a good fence and 
an impressive entrance. Of equal impor- 
tance is a suitable iron fence for public 
parks and especially playgrounds, where 
the protection of the children is a matter 
of greatest importance. The Stewart Iron 
Works Co. claim superiority in the con- 
struction of their fence, in which they have 
embodied several valuable improvements, 
among which are their three-rib channel 
rail, adjustable line post, steel and mal- 
leable iron foundation base, features that 
are exclusive with this firm.
