 then designed other rural cemeteries, and 

 his name will always be especially asso-

 conforming admirably to the contour of 

 the land on which they are placed. 



Mr. Jens Jensen, of Chicago, appeals to 

 my own judgment as one of the ablest men

 unusual artistic and technical training, and 

 an intimate acquaintance with the best

 the formulas now familiar in America, 

 though resembling more the modern work 

 in Germany. His work on the West Park 

 System in Chicago presents many notable 

 features. 



Many other landscape architects are 

 mentioned with praise. Those most fre-

 Messrs. Chas. N. Lowrie, H. P. Kelsey, 

 Geo. Kessler, E. W. Bowditch and 

 Frederick G. Todd. But their work is not
