After being associated with the Mount 
Greenwood Cemetery Association for near- 
ly fifteen years, A. R. Gross is leaving 
their employ in order to open an office 
in Detroit, Alich., for the practice of his 
profession of landscape gardener. He car- 
ries with him the good wishes of alf with 
whom he has been associated. 
Air. Gross has had most thorough train- 
ing and experience, not only in the de- 
signing and development of cemetery 
grounds, but, what is almost equally as 
important, he has a thorough experience 
in the administration and operating of 
cemeteries and accounting and recording. 
He will thus bring to persons securing his 
services not only high artistic ability in 
landscape design, but a proper knowledge 
and appreciation of the practical matters 
that are so highly important to be con- 
sidered in such cases. 
He will still remain connected with the 
Alount Greenwood Cemetery Association 
as consulting landscape gardener.

THE COVER ILLUSTRATION. 
One of the handsomest types of iron 
fence and entrance gates built from spe- 
cial designs is shown in the illustration of 
the entrance to Little Lake Cemetery, Pe- 
terborough, Ont., Can., on the front cover 
of this issue. 
This iron fence is a special design built 
by the Stewart Iron Works Company, Cin- 
cinnati, Ohio, carrying out the plans and 
ideas in design of Architect W. Blackwell. 
Our illustration shows to good advantage 
not only the details of the fence and gates, 
but some of the beauty of the landscape 
features of this modern Canadian cemetery. 
A great deal of credit for the develop- 
ment of Little Lake Cemetery is due to 
the energy and ideas of Superintendent 
Frank Wise. The new entrance consists 
of two large double entrance gates, two 
walk gates and fence. The double gates 
are 12 feet 4 inches wide between posts and 
8 feet 1 inch high at center, 7 feet 1 inch 
high at hinge bars. Long pickets are 
inch square, spaced 5 inches on centers, 
with ornamental malleable tops. Gates are 
hung on 2 inch square bars, with socket 
hinges, to massive stone piers. Frame bars 
are 2x^ inches flat ; the two top rails and 
bottom rail are 2x54 inches. The scroll 
work is very ornamental and adds a highly 
finished appearance to the design of the 
gates. The large gates are fitted with au- 
tomatic fastening blind lock, having slide 
latch inside. The walk gates on either 
side of the double entrance gates are 4 
feet 4 inches between posts and 6 feet 10 
inches high at hinge bar, being of the 
same design as the large double entrance 
gates and are similarly fastened. The 
fence is made of 54 inch square pickets 
spaced 5 inches on centers and sets on 
coping.
