LANDSCAPE DEPARTMENT. 



MR. LESTER CALBRAITH LOVETT in Charge 



In this progressive age, it is seldom that anyone builds a house without first securing the services 

 of an architect. The aid of a competent landscape architect is fully as necessary to properly plan 

 and execute ornamental plantings, as is the assistance of an architect in the construction of a build- 

 ing. The lack of professional advice in ornamenting the grounds of many country homes is largely 

 responsible for their unattractive appearance. A competent landscape gardener will not only pro- 

 duce pleasing effects, but will save the owner much money, to say nothing of the annoyance 

 and loss of time caused by making alterations and additions in order to secure satisfactory results. 



For over thirty years, I have been engaged in laying out and planting both large and small pri- 

 vate estates, public parks, etc. My patrons are people of refined taste, exacting and critical, and 

 it is to them I refer. I make plans and estimates of cost for landscape work of any character or 

 any extent. Where important work is contemplated upon large grounds, a personal visit to the 

 property is necessary; for grounds of limited extent, I am usually able to make a plan, if but a 

 rough outline, giving distances and location of buildings, is mailed me. My prices for supplying 

 and planting the nursery stock required to execute the plans are so moderate, that my estimate is 

 usually accepted; hence, I make no charge for plans. 



To assist in explaining our manner of embellishing home grounds, I have published a booklet en- 

 titled "Beautifying Home Surroundings"; giving in detail our methods in landscape work and 

 illustrated with half tone engravings from photographs of a dozen or more examples of completed 

 plantings that were executed by us. This will be cheerfully mailed upon request. Please ask for
