PARK AND CEMETERY. 
The planting for this lot includes Arbor 
Vitae, rhododendrons, common barberry, 
Retinispora plumosa, or plume-like cypress, 
with elms, ash, birch, etc., as trees in the 
background. 
No. 33 shows two monuments with a 
background of trees and shrubs. Notice 
the low markers and the planted graves. 
proper setting has been provided, and to 
eliminate them on others where open areas 
or long vistas are desired. All monuments 
should be subject to approval of some au- 
thorized person or committee representing 
the cemeter\'. The decision as to where 
monuments are to be allowed should, of 
course, be made by the landscape architect 
and recorded in some way on plans fur- 
nished by him. 
(Jur great variety of available plant life 
enables us to select plants for color effects 
of flower, foliage, bark and fruit, as well 
as low, medium and high varieties of plants, 
round, spreading or pyramidal forms to 
harmonize with low, flat, broad or shaft 
styles of monuments. 
We will not attempt to specify just what 
to plant, but will view the monuments 
shown in the slides and see wherein they 
harmonize with the plant life selected. As 
the slides are shown, suggestions as to 
what is planted or what could be planted 
to get these effects will be made. 
No. 22 shows a view of a water area 
properly planted with aquatics, with a bor- 
der of trees and shrubs showing what a 
beautiful and effective little nook can be 
made of low, wet places. 
No. 30 is in Lakeview Cemetery at 
Cleveland, Ohio. This slide shows a vista 
with trees and open center, with a shaft 
monument ending the vista. 
I will not go into detail as to the plant- 
ing. A few photos that will be supplied 
will have a list of plants suggested for each 
form of monument shown. 
Slide 31 shows a tall monument with its 
background of rhododendrons, kalmias, bar- 
berries, trees, both evergreen and decidu- 
ous, which give it a good setting. We are 
using these plants more and more in our 
cemetery work. 
In No. 35 we see two forms of monu- 
ments with a background of evergreen trees 
with no trees scattered over the ground. 
Here also the low head markers and vinca- 
covered graves add to the beauty of the 
setting. 
The planting suggested for effects like 
this includes Japanese barberry, Cercis 
Canadensis, or Red bud, Retinispora plu- 
mosa, purple plum, and vinca for grave 
cover. 
In No. 36 the division between the open 
areas is made by solid planting of trees 
and shrubs. These divisions form excel- 
lent places for setting monuments. Low- 
branching trees and shrubs are used here. 
No. 37 : Here is a lower form of monu- 
ment with Spiraea Van Houttei as a back- 
ground. 
In No. 39 is a solid screen of trees, 
shrubs and evergreens.

palms and other exotic plants from the

gheny Cemetery, Pittsburgh, Pa.

mingham, Ala,, a natural planting of na-
