lem appeared in a 1913 number of The Garden 

 Magazine and the rest of the chapters appeared in 

 House and Garden during 1915 and 1916. Since 

 their publication as magazine articles, these chap- 

 ters have undergone considerable revision and ap- 

 pear now in a more complete form. 



For the renderings of the plans I am indebted to 

 Mr. B. Y. Morrison. 



I greatly appreciate the opportunity that this 

 book has given me of widening my acquaintance- 

 ship among landscape architects. I regret that 

 more members of the profession could not be re- 

 presented in this book, for many, who were willing 

 to be of assistance and who have given freely of 

 their time, had nothing immediately available for 

 my use. I am happy that, despite the self-imposed 

 limitations of the book, such a representative group 

 of the profession have contributed to it. To those, 

 whose small problems have helped to make this 

 book possible, I would express my warmest grati- 

 tude for their cordiality, cooperation, and encour- 

 agement.
