PARK AND CEMETERY. 
IX 
August, 1909, he has been in charge 
of the national cemetery at City 
Point, Va. 
THE COVER ILLUSTRATION. 
The handsome ornamental gates illus- 
trated on the front cover this month 
were erected some years ago at the 
entrance to Smithfield cemetery, Pitts- 
burgh, Pa. The gates, with several 
thousand feet of ornamental fencing 
and plain two rail fencing were de- 
signed and built for the cemetery by 
the Stewart Iron Works Company, 
Cincinnati, O. The gates are 19 ft. 
8 in. wide, 7 ft. high at the posts and 
6 feet high in the center. The granite 
piers are 3 ft. 6 in. square and 10 ft. 
high, the entire effect being substan- 
tial, with an assurance of endurance 
which should always be considered in 
cemetery construction of any kind. 
The two rail fencing used in this con- 
nection was made in panels approxi- 
mately 8 ft. long, with pickets 54 in. 
square, set diagonally, 5 in. on cen- 
ters, rails .1 Vi x 1 in. channel, line 
posts one foot square, supported by 
54 in. square braces. 
PARK TREE STUDY AT YALE. 
Continued from page 220 
the possibilities of such work, which 
is being as rapidly carried forward 
as funds and time will permit. 
Educational activities in tree mat- 
ters in Brooklyn also were consid- 
ered, the students being received lat- 
er in the day at the Children s Muse- 
um, in Bedford Park, by a delegation 
from the Children’s Tree Clubs, 
known as Junior Tree Wardens. 
After luncheon, served in the pavil- 
ion of the flower garden, the students 
went by automobile to the Botanic 
Gardens and Bedford Park, where a 
group of children were being instruct- 
ed by Miss Gallup, curator of the 
Children’s Museum, in tree seed dis- 
semination. The museum is head- 
quarters of the American Association 
for the Planting and Preservation of 
City Trees, of which Mr. Levison is 
forester. Tree labels, tree guides and 
other devices employed in Bedford 
Park to interest the public and in- 
struct them in tree knowledge also 
were pointed out. 
Calls for trained men are coming- 
in from all parts of the country, and 
a movement is on foot in Brooklyn 
to establish a central tree bureau un- 
der a trained forester for the handling 
of all the tree problems of the bor- 
ough. By this method better results 
and less waste would follow than at 
present. 
Brooklyn is giving other cities an 
example they might emulate with 
profit.
