PARK AND CEMETERY 
XIII 
aration contains no active acids. An oc- 
casional renovating of granite memorials 
will prevent the growth of vegetable 
matter and keep exposed parts in good 
condition. Mr. Douglas will be glad 
to estimate on the cost of the cleaning 
of building or monumental work in any 
part of the country, and is now receiving 
orders for spring and summer work. 
How to kill weeds scientifically in 
roadways and paths and dispense with 
the expensive and unsatisfactory hoeing 
process should interest all park and 
cemetery superintendents and caretakers 
of public and private grounds. For 
seven years the Fairmount Weed Killer 
has been used with very satisfactory 
results. It is a chemical compound that 
quickly, effectively and economically de- 
stroys weeds, grass and all forms of or- 
ganic growth in roads and pathways 
without injuring marble or any kind of 
stone with which it may come in con- 
tact. One application of the dressing 
will keep the paths clean from three to 
six months at a much less expense than 
could be accomplished in any other way. 
The Fairmount Chemical Laboratories, 
corner Broad street and Fairmount ave- 
nue, Philadelphia, Pa., are the sole man- 
ufacturers. Their business is killing 
weeds, and they would like to tell Park 
and Cemetery readers more about it. 
The Vulcan Wrought Steel Park 
Settee, designed and made by The Vul- 
can Company, Detroit, Mich., is claimed 
to be the strongest and most comfortable 
settee made. An illustration of the set- 
tee appears elsewhere in this issue. 
This company also make a line of orna- 
mental entrances, etc., for parks and 
cemeteries. The Vulcan Co. have re- 
cently moved into a new factory, where 
they have increased facilities. 
Dr. George E. Stone, Professor of 
Botany, Massachusetts Agricultural Col- 
lege, says : “The Bowker Insecticide 
Company is certainly acting as a public 
benefactor in putting out such a first- 
class insecticide as ‘Disparene.’ ”

“I have used your 
Curbing Device in my 
work for the last three 
months. I believe the 
Device has more than 
paid for its cost in 
time saved, to say 
nothing of the trouble 
and anxiety it has re- 
lieved us of.

to balance account. 
We used the device the 
first time yesterday, 
and are more than 
pleased with it. If it 
cost twice what it does 
we should buy it.
