of cement walks. Mr. W. H. Dunn, 
president of the American Associa- 
tion of Park Superintendents was 
called to Ames to advise with them 
on the best type of construction for 
the roads. 
Charles H. Ramsdell, Minneapolis, 
Minn., is at work on plans for three 
parks in Aberdeen, S. D., one for 
Wylie Park which includes about 175 
acres with Lake Minne-eho; one for 
the treatment of Moccasin Creek, and 
fifteen or twenty acres of neighboring 
park lands, and one for the park 
in West Aberdeen containing about 
13 acres. He has also been in con- 
sultation with the School Board of 
Aberdeen, working up a plan for the 
arrangement of lawns, shrubbery and 
play grounds surrounding the new 
high school and the Washington 
school of that city. 
In reference to the illustration of 
the Iron Gateway of Mt. Carmel 
Cemetery, Kings County, New York, 
given on the front page of our May 
issue,- it will be of interest to state 
that the cemetery itself, includ- 
ing the entrance piers and gate's, was 
designed and laid out by Mr. Charles 
W. Leavitt, Jr., civil and landscape 
engineer of New York City.

_ JOHN DAVEV 
Father of Tree Surgery I 
Your 
work as 
cemetery or 
park superin- 
tendent is 
judged by the 
appearance of 
the place under 
your charge. You 
cannot expect it to 
be inviting and at 
tractive if you allow 
the trees to die 
Everydeadordyingtree 
reflectsuponyouassuper- 
intendent. Many trees that 1 
appear sound may have a 
weak crotch. The first high 
wind will blow them over. 
Loss of property and life may 
result. A little expert at- 
tention will save these trees. 
Davey Tree Experts 
Do 
for trees what expert surgeons do for 
human beings — they prolong life. So 
don’t let heartless, inexperienced tree 
choppers touch the trees under your 
charge. Davey Experts are trained 
in the Davey Institute of Tree 
Surgery. They carry credentials 
proving them qualified. All graduates 
are employed by the Davey Tree 
Expert Company WE NEVER LET 
GOOD MEN GO. If you have any 
reason to suspect that any of the trees 
under your care are dying or diseased 
write at once and arrange for a free 
expert examination. If you wait until 
later it may be too late to save them. 
Mention the number of trees and 
the kind.
