XII 
PARK AND CEMETERY. 
THE COVER ILLUSTRATION. 
The main entrance to Cedar Grove 
cemetery, Flushing, Long Island, is 
illustrated on the front cover of this 
issue. 
Cedar Grove is very accessible to 
New York City, being only a few min- 
utes’ ride from Long Island City, op- 
posite 34th street, Manhattan. The 
convenience and natural beauty con- 
tribute to its popularity. 
The illustration shows one of the 
double drive gates, on either side of 
which is a walk gate. These gates, as 
well as the fence, are of wrought iron, 
of a particularly pleasing design, that 
harmonizes nicely with the general 
landscape effect. There is a broad 
macadamized approach to the main 
gate entrance, the piers of which are 
of natural finish Barre granite, with 
well balanced caps and bases of the 
same material. 
A better idea of the detail and sym- 
metrical proportions of the wrought 
iron work will be obtained from the 
following description of the fence and 
gates, which were built in 1906 at the 
Cincinnati plant of the Stewart Iron 
Works Company. The double drive- 
gates are 16 feet wide and are 8J4 
feet high in the center, made of 24- 
inch square pickets carried by four 
steel channel rails heavily framed with 
2xll4-inch hinge and strike bars, 
braced as shown, and fitted with im- 
proved brass flat tumbler locks. The 
walk gates are of the same pattern, 
and similarly built. They are each 4 
feet wide. The fence is 7 feet 6 inches 
high, of the same design as the gates, 
with 24-inch square forged tipped 
pickets, spaced 6 inches apart, with 
short 18-inch pickets spaced between 
the regular pickets at the bottom; all 
carried by a set of four patent “three- 
ribbed” rails, the same as the gates. 
In carrying out the wishes of the 
owners, the central idea of rigidity of 
construction and simplicity of design 
was maintained, and the severity very 
nicely relieved by beautiful panel 
posts, spaced at regular intervals, as 
shown in the illustration, with top 
scrolls, the graceful contour of which 
stands out effectively before a back- 
ground of natural beauty. 
The necessary protection to a cem- 
etery is quite as important as the 
beautifying of the grounds. One is 
dependent on the other. Both are in- 
volved in a suitable enclosure. 
PUBLISHER’S NOTES. 
Frederick A. Shaw, the noted 
sculptor, who died recently at his 
home in Brookline, Mass., was 
known as the discoverer of the trans- 
TREE TANGLEFOOT 
an absolutely harmless, sticky substance 
especially adapted for the protection of 
trees against all climbing insect pests. 
Applied directly to tree trunks. No 
apparatus required but easily applied with 
a wooden paddle. One pound makes 
about nine lineal feet of band. One 
app'ication remains effective from three 
to four months (rain or shine) fully ex- 
posed to weather. No mixing required. 
Tree Tanglefoot comes prepared for use. 
Band your trees early. Do not wait 
until insects are seen.
