Miss Carrie F Cochrane, daughter of 
Col. Cochrane, of Edgewood Cemetery, 
Nashua, N. H . , writes; “Upon suggestion 
of my father 1 have made a little canvass 
among trustees and persons interested in 
cemetery improvement in our city, and 
now send you a list of fifteen sub- 
scribers for “Park and Cemetery.’’ The 
tlist contains ii trustees, 2 park commis- 
sioners, 2 cemetery superintendents, i fun- 
,eraj director and i monument dealer.” 
Cochrane’s example is one, which 
copied, would be highly beneficial to the 
publisher and we believe the subscriber, 
and is warmly appreciated.

leading Rose Growers of America, are a

very extensive esablishment and carry on 
a business all over the country, and it may 
be very positively stated that all entrust- 
ing them with an order are guaranteed

An illustration of the Dille & McGuire 
latest pattern Diamond High Grass Lawn 
Mower will be found in our advertising 
pages. More than one hundred of the 
Diamond Lawn Mowers were used on the 
grounds of the World’s Fair at Chicago in 
1892-93, where they gave excellent satis- 
faction. They are of simple construction, 
easy running and durable. The success 
of the ‘‘Diamond High Grass Mower” in 
cutting high grass is remarkable, and the 
clean cut shows conclusively that its work- 
ing parts have been developed with great 
care in order to realize so permanent a 
position as a reliable machine. It is made 
in sizes from 14 to 20 in. cut and it is now 
in use in many cemeteries. The Dille & 
McGuire Mfg. Co., Richmond, Ind., the 
manufacturers, issue a handsomely illus- 
trated souvenir pamphlet, in which the 
mower and its capabilities are most graph- 
ically displayed.
