THE LANDSCAPE BEAUTIFUL 



and consideration, just as a teacher of 

 literature recommends a list of good books 

 for his pupils to read after their class- 

 room work is completed. In such a list I 

 naturally include chiefly those things which 

 I have myself seen and enjoyed, or of which 

 I have some specific knowledge. Such a 

 list must be very partial, and even faulty, 

 much more so than the list of books recom- 

 mended by the teacher of literature. 



In such a list I would include Wash- 

 ington Park, Chicago, by Frederick Law 

 Olmsted, St.; the recent parks and park- 

 ways of Kansas City, Mo., by Mr. George 

 Kessler; the new park system at Seattle, 

 Wash., by Olmsted Brothers; the Larz 

 Andersen garden at Brookline, Mass., 

 by Mr. Charles A. Piatt; Maxwell Court, 

 Rockville, Conn., by Mr. Piatt; dozens, — 

 even hundreds, — of good private places by 

 Mr. Wilson Eyre, Jr., Carrere & Hastings, 

 Mr. Warren H. Manning, and others; and 

 among city designs (most of them still 

 undeveloped), Mr. John Nolen's plans for 

 San Diego, Mr. Charles Mulford Robinson's 

 study of Jamestown, N. Y., and Mr. H. P. 

 Kelsey's plans for Columbia, S. C.
