MAIN entrance to FOREST EAWN CEMETERY, BUFFALO, N. Y. 
NEW ENTRANCE FOR FOREST LAWN CEM/ 
ETERY, BUFFALO, N. Y- 
This new entrance and office buildings now under 
construction at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Buffalo, 
N. Y., was designed by Mr. H. Osgood Holland, 
architect, of that city. 
The arch and buildings will be made of light gray 
granite from Concord, N. H. The central structure 
is 42 feet high, 32 feet wide and 13 feet deep, and 
the arch is 18 feet wide and 27 feet high. The lodges 
are 20 feet wide, 30 feet long and 21 feet high. The 
entire width of the structure is 92 feet. The window 
grilles on the exterior are of bronze of handsome de- 
sign. 
The buildings are fireproof, and are finished on 
the interior with mosaic floors, enameled brick walls 
and handsomely decorated ceilings. Colonnades con- 
nect the lodges with the central structure, and the 
careful appointments of the buildings insure to the 
public every convenience of a modern cemetery en- 
trance. The cost will be about $40,000. 
VALUE OF SYSTEMATIC LABELING, 
A trip to Miss Helen Gould’s country home at 
Irvington, N. Y., is well worth the while of every one 
interested in horticulture in its broadest sense, and 
the visit is made doubly enjoyable if it be under the 
guidance of the very able head-gardener and estate 
superintendent, Ferdinand Mangold, writes C. W. K., 
in Meehan’s Monthly. 
Here one finds business system applied to every- 
day affairs, in such a way, that one unconsciously 
admires the executive ability of the man who man- 
ages all. The rare plants, of which Mr. Mangold 
has under his charge perhaps the finest private col- 
lection in this country, are properly and scientifically 
labelled ; and even the fruit, the shrubs and the gar- 
den plants are correctly and legibly named. It looks 
like a well-conducted botanical garden. The advan- 
tage of all this is so apparent that it is easy to 
imagine the benefits to be derived from such a system. 
The under-gardeners have a far better chance to 
acquire knowledge. As an example, when showing 
his visitor through the magnificent range of glass, 
Mr. Mangold at random asked the different men in 
regard to the location of certain plants, giving only 
their full botanical names, and though the specimens 
inquired for were uncommon, the person called upon 
invariably showed the precise plant without a falter.
