PUBLISHERS’ NOTES. 
Chas. B. Jefferson, superintendent 
West Laurel Hill cemetery, Philadel- 
phia, Pa., has sufficiently recovered from 
the effects of the accident which befell 
him some months ago to resume his 
duties. He informs us he has a per- 
manent dislocation of the right shoulder 
which will prevent a full use of the 
arm. Mr. Jefferson desires to express 
his appreciation to the members of the 
A. A. C. S. for the telegram of sym- 
pathy sent to him during the Milwau- 
kee convention. 
Charles Crain, superintendent of 
Green Lawn Cemetery, Tiffin, O., sends 
us three photographs of two elm trees 
that had joined together at 10 feet 
above the ground and the union of 
which is perfect. Above the junction 
there is but one large trunk which does 
not show any sign of being formed 
from two trees. One of the photos 
shows a limb which has again formed 
union with the main trunk. This tree 
stands in a pasture at Tiffin, O. Old

"High-Pressure 
prayers jorSfede Trees 
We have given special thought to the manu- 
facture of pumps developing sufficient pressure 
to thoroughly spray shade trees in parks, cem- 
eteries, along city streets, etc. Deming outfits, 
therefore, are particularly adapted to that 
work — they develop high pressures, even when 
supplying eight or more nozzles. 
Demieg Power Sprayers 
are the choice of park superintendents, com- 
missioners and owners of great estates. Deming 
outfits are durable and efficient; all working 
parts are brass, and the rigid construction 
prevents lose motion between pump and engine. 
We shall be pleased to furnish specifications, 
blue-prints, and estimates. We make pumps 
for all uses; general agencies in principal cities.
