Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gardener's Monthly and Horticulturist, 1880, Vol. 22: Devoted to Horticulture, Arboriculture and Rural Affairs If properly shown to the managers, surely every cemetery company would see that it was to its interest to have a skilled gardener. One of this class would require no higher wages in many cases, than an ignoramus, - and even in larger enterprises the gardener and the engineer would both work together for each others' bene fit. Some people talk of politics as the reason why unskilful men are in charge of park gardens and other public positions; please let me ask how many skilled gardeners are there in the Philadelphia cemeteries, where there is no poli tics to interfere in the matter? There are a very few intelligent and worthy exceptions, but the majority are no better than those who get places in public work and under political ia fluence. There are good politicians and there are corrupt ones; there are good nurserymen, and nurserymen who are governed by avaricious motives, who would crowd in stock good bad and indifferent, and men to suit, if it served their avaricious purposes; and one kind of manage ment is no worse than the other. What we want is honest, intelligent manage ment in public parks and city work. We want men who will not bow the knee to Baal.
