PARK AND CEMETERY. 
VII 
Mr. S. H. Curtis, vice-president and 
secretary of llarlington cemetery, Wav- 
erly, la., in the course of a communica- 
tion speaks of his effort to find a paint for 
iron, cemetery fences and enclosures, that 
would retain its body and gloss for a rea- 
sonable length of time. Last year he 
made a trial of the Donkey paint made by 
the Kansas City Roofing Co. , Kan- 
sas City, Mo., and is enthusiastic over re- 
sults. He highly recommends it to ceme- 
tery superintendents for such work as he 
suggests. 
The elm-leaf beetle and other pests 
have made such sad havoc with the foli- 
age of shade and other trees that a Spray- 
ing Outfit has been and is a necessity and 
his been adopted and used with the best 
of results in several cities and towns. It 
has been found, that, with such provision 
at comparatively little expense, the shade 
trees can be sprayed and the foliage kept 
in perfect condition. An outfit specially 
for this work is made by the Goulds M’f'g. 
Co , Seneca Falls, N. Y., and consists of 
a small, noiseless gasoline engine driving 
a brass fitted pump. These are so con- 
nected and mounted upon base as to be 
easily placed in spring wagon or removed 
therefrom. Further information can be 
obtained by addressing the company as 
above. 
The value of kerosene as a material for 
spraying has been generally appreciated 
by horticulturists and others for some 
time, but the difficulty and uncertainty 
of preparing and using the various 
einu'sions of kerosene has prevented its 
general use. The Ueming Company of 
Salem O., set to work experimenting for 
a machine that would make its own emul- 
sion while in the act of spraying. The 
result is the -‘Weed” Knapsack Kerosene 
Sprayer, the “Success” bucket Kerosene 
Sprayer and the “Peerless” Barrel Kero- 
sene Sprayer. The amount of kerosene 
is easily regulated by an indicator on the 
top of the kerosene tank which controls 
the percentage of oil. The Deming 
Company’s illustrated catalogue contain- 
ing complete formulas for spraying, in 
addition to descriptions of their very 
complete line of pumps and nozzles, sent 
on application. 
Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, is in- 
fested with poison ivy, in relation to 
which the Philadelphia Enquirer says; 
“The first cases of ivy poisoning in Fair- 
mount Park for the present season have 
been reported from Valley Green. Two 
ladies who were in attendance at the 
Grant statue unveiling ceremonies were 
badly affected, one so seriously as to 
threaten blood poisoning. When asked 
what the Park Commission did last year 
and what it expected to do this year for 
the protection of visitors from ivy poison- 
ing, Secretary Thomas J. Martin said: 
‘The removal of poisonous vines from the 
Park comes under the same appropriation 
as the cutting of the grass and the mow- 
ing of the lawns. But !|8ooo was set 
aside last year for all this work. It would 
take at least five times that amount to 
extirpate the ivy from the Park, for it is 
found all over its confines. If persons who 
are poisoned would only come to us and 
t-ell us where they received the infection, 
we would pay especial attention to those 
particular spots. ”
