greenhouses, but a nursery of young trees and 
shrubs is maintained, and plants throughout the 
grounds are labeled. 
The company owns and operates a line of wag- 
onettes inside the grounds. They are run every 
day in the year at intervals of from 30 minutes to 
one hour, the round trip costing 10 cents. This 
convenience is so greatly 
appreciated by lot owners 
and visitors that other cem- 
eteries might well profit by 
the example. 
To keep up all this work 
an average of 70 men are 
employed.

inappropriate. Monuments must face on the ave-

so admirable that it is not likely to be improved 
on, but it is too complicated and expensive for 
general use.

of 2,500 square feet. 
There are three single grave 
sections. Two, of 1,500 and
