Concerning Hill’s Specimen Evergreens 
Our idea of a true Specimen Evergreen is one that has an abundance 
of roots and a perfectly- formed top, shaped according to the 
natural habit of the species, but dense, well-colored and heavily 
clothed. Hill’s Specimen Evergreens measure up to that standard 
— we grow them from the seed and keep them “always on the 
move” with frequent root - and top-prunings. When a Hill Ever- 
green has “finished its education” it’s a real specimen, and one 
that you would be pleased to own.

THE COVER ILLUSTRATION 
On the front cover of this issue 
is an illustration of “Sleepy Hollow” 
Cemetery entrance, at Tarry town, 
N. Y., which is of more than ordi- 
nary interest, not only because of 
its peculiarly striking beauty, but be- 
cause of the world-wide historic 
sentiment that has prevailed, since 
Washington Irving first wrote his 
legend of “Sleepy Hollow.” 
Located, as it is, in one of those 
spacious coves, which indent the east- 
ern shore of the Hudson, this na- 
tionally well known cemetery lies in 
a valley among the high hills, a short 
way out from the town, beautifully 
situated, in a neighborhood, abound- 
ing with “haunted spots,” and twilight 
superstitions. 
The architecture and symmetrical 
proportions of this gateway cannot be 
fully appreciated from the front cover 
illustration which is that of the main 
entrance, showing the double drive 
gates with a walk gate on either side, 
each of which is hung from an orna- 
mental iron panel post, fastened to the 
pier, as shown. These especially at- 
tractive piers are built of a peculiar 
rough pressed brick, set on granite 
bases and capped with massive gran- 
ite ornaments. The central piers are 
each 15 feet high, to which the panel 
posts are anchored by heavy bronze 
lugs, and from which the gates are 
rigidly hung. 
The following brief technical de- 
scription, covering the dimensions, 
will give some idea of this well bal- 
anced design, which was executed in 
July, 1909, by the Stewart Iron Works 
Company, of Cincinnati. The double 
drive gates are 18 feet wide; stand 
13 feet 3 inches high in the center; 
are built of % inch square iron, set 
5 inches apart, supported by special 
2 i /2 inch, three-ribbed steel channel 
rail, and hung on 2 inch square hinge 
bars, securely fastened to the newels. 
The walk gates on either side are 
similarly constructed of proportion- 
ate dimensions, being 6 feet wide and 
8 feet 6 inches high on the hinge side. 
The scrolls and ovals form a particu- 
larly pleasing feature of the design, 
which has been worked out in both 
the fence and gates to harmonize with 
the rolling grounds of this most pic- 
turesque cemetery.
