cities and towns. Mr. Baxter empha- 
sizes the necessity for good design 
which should be appropriate in style to 
the area, the situation and the effect 
sought, and considers a number of ex- 
amples of good and 'badly planned pub- 
lic squares. Xhe Boston Public Gar- 
den, he declares, suffers primarily from 
a fundamentally bad design. He says 
of it : “The Boston Public Garden has 
exerted a most demoralizing influence 
upon gardening art in the United States. 
Its lavish employment of rich and ex- 
pensive material in a fashion unguided 
by any true principles of design, is re- 
sponsible for a wide perversion of 
taste.” Examples of well-planned pub- 
lic squares in Boston, New York, and 
Beverly, Mass., are illustrated with 
drawings by Jules Guerin, and discussed 
in an enlightening and entertaining 
manner.
