ROAD ROLDER ON A STEEP GRADE IN CAVE HIEE CEMETERY, LOUISVILEE, KY. 
A.dvertisers* Notes. 
The accompanying illustration shows 
a Universal Road Roller, manufactured 
by Julian Scholl & Co., New York, op- 
erating on a steep grade in Cave Hill 
Cemetery, Louisville, Ky. This roller 
has been used by the cemetery to oper- 
ate a stone crusher and furnish all the 
stone needed in the road work in the 
cemetery. This firm furnishes the en- 
tire plant, embracing stone crusher, 
screen, elevator, bin, and the Universal 
Roller. Many cemeteries now own a 
complete road-making plant. 
The W. E. Caldwell Co., of Louis- 
ville, Ky., manufacturers of the Cald- 
well tanks and towers for parks, ceme- 
teries, public grounds, etc., have recently 
supplied the following cemeteries with 
tanks and towers : Three Rivers, Mich. ; 
Calvary Cemetery, St. Louis ; Oaklawn 
Cemetery, Southport, Conn. ; Lakeside 
Cemetery Association, Wakefield, Mass. 
This firm has long been known as manu- 
facturers of reliable tanks, and claim the 
largest business in that line. They are 
now building a 100,000 gallon tank at 
Wilkesbarre, Pa., which will be mounted 
87 feet in the air. These tanks are gen- 
erally constructed of red cypress wood, 
though they also furnish steel tanks. 
Exact calculations are made for every 
size of tank, showing the pressure or 
stress that the hoops will have to with- 
stand. 
The value of wood ashes as an ideal 
dressing for lawns is generally recog- 
nized to-day, their virtue being largely 
the two ingredients they possess, viz., 
potash and phosphoric acid, which are 
deficient in most soil. There is no of- 
fensive odor with ashes, and in addition 
to producing a beautiful green lawn 
there is an absence of weeds and other 
objectionable features common with 
most fertilizers. Leading cemeteries and 
parks use ashes extensively. George L. 
Munroe, Oswego, N. Y., imports se- 
lected Canadian ashes, which he ships 
in quantities to suit purchasers. 
Any one intending to plant seeds of 
any kind should send to Messrs. J. J. H. 
Gregory & Son, Marblehead, Mass., for 
their 1903 catalogue. It is a handsomely 
illustrated booklet, in which are photo- 
graphic reproductions of many new va- 
rieties of interest to all. It is sent free 
to those who write for it. A postal will 
bring it. The seeds of this firm undergo 
a thorough test every season, and those 
not up to a high standard are thrown 
away . 
The Lord & Burnham Company of 
Irvington-on-Hudson and New York 
city are making additions to their plant 
at Irvington, which will nearly double 
their present facilities. These additional 
buildings will comprise a large wood- 
working mill equipped with modern ma- 
chinery for the preparation of cypress 
wood capping, bars, etc., for their stand- 
ard iron construction greenhouses and 
for the manufacture of cypress green- 
house material for the trade for the “all 
sash bar” construction, for which the de- 
mand has outgrown the capacity of the 
present mill ; a power house on their 
new dock for the installation of new 
steam boilers and engine ; also additions 
to their foundry and shops for making 
the celebrated “Burnham” heating boil- 
ers.
