Dr. L. C. Diedrickson, Aarhus, Denmark, writes: "I have noticed with great interest what has occasionally come to my knowledge about the landscape lawn system for cemeteries in America. Wishing for more information upon this interesting subject, I beg to put the query: Are there any detailed plans or descriptions published of the 'spring Grove,' or any other cemetery in the United States distinguished by a high style of art in the way of landscape gardening? If so, where are such plans or descriptions to be obtained?
"If nothing of the kind exists I beg leave to suggest, if you do not believe it would be gladly hailed by many of your readers if, under the head of ' Hints on Tasteful Landscape Gardening,' you were to impart some information on this very interesting subject. Hoping you will kindly pardon my above queries and suggestion, I have the honor to sign myself".
[In the various reports of Spring Grove Cemetery published, there is much given that would suit the wants of our correspondent. The cemetery owes much of its great beauty to the encouragement given by Henry Probasco, Esq., the well known public spirited citizen of Cincinnati, and we are quite sure he would have great pleasure in sending any that may still be on hand, to parties desiring to profit by what has been so well done there. - Ed. G. M].
