PARK AND CEMETERY 
VII 
Publisher's Notes. 
Cemetery superintendents who use 
evergreen boughs for covering lots and 
lining graves will be interested in know- 
ing that the Evergreen Nursery Co., 
Sturgeon Bay, Wis., are making a spe- 
cialty of supplying such material. They 
are extensive growers of evergreens and 
are furnishing some of the leading ceme- 
teries with boughs for such purposes, 
which they ship in car-load lots. 
The first annual convention of the Ohio 
State Association of Cemetery Superin- 
tendents and Officials was held October 
14 and 15 at the Phillips House, Day- 
ton, O. An interesting program, given 
in detail in our August issue, was pre- 
sented. 
The Harrison Granite Co., 42 E. 23d 
St., New York, invite correspondence 
with cemetery officials who contemplate 
erecting receiving vaults, chapels, etc. 
They have built structures of this kind 
in many of the leading cemeteries and 
offer their patrons the benefit of years 
of experience in such work.
