ESTATES 
new demand for the ser- 
vices of the landscape Ar- 
chitect has arisen lately. The de- 
mand of the American country 
gentlemen's estate; in the laying 
out of which wc cannot be 
guided by those of England or 
France, for the American es- 
tate like everything else in this 
country has a distinctive quality 
of its own that is to be reckoned 
with, and developed, as our 
country life develops. Ameri- 
can estates are in the making, 
and if we are to hand down to 
posterity a well regulated, har- 
monious whole, instead of a het- 
erogeneous collection of inco- 
herent ideas, we must be very 
careful to exercise the best taste. We would be glad to have persons desirous of laying out their estates 
consult with our landscape Architect, as it is well to be guided by a professional man who can harmonize and 
combine all their ideas skillfully. The accompanying illustrations give some idea of results possible and we 
would be glad to furnish you a working plan according to your own ideas or ours, or both, as you wish. 
PRICES FOR SHRUBBERY PLANS. ETC., RANGE FROM $25.00 to S5.000.00. ACCORDING TO THE WORK 
DESIRED AND ELABORATNESS OF DESIGN. 
COUNTRY CLUBS AND CLUB HOUSES 
An outgrowth of city life and partaking somewhat of the nature of the estate is the country club, an Institution 
peculiarly American and unique. We have made a specialty of the planting of Country Clubs and Club House 
grounds with 
due referen- 
ce to tennis 
courts, Golf 
Links and 
appurtenan- 
ces of other 
outdoor 
sports.
