PARK AND CEMETERY. 
Northern Europe as is our own North 
different from the South. The time of 
distinctive types of gardens in the differ- 
ent countries of Europe is passing into 
history, and a more universal Continen- 
tal art is replacing the old and widely 
differentiated influences. The progressive 
exponents of the landscape gardening 
art upon the continent are making their 
imprints on the gardening work over 
that entire country, and the tendency 
seems to be that in time to come there 
will exist no modern Italian, German, 
or French school distinct in itself, only 
in so far as the topographical and cli- 
matic requirements of the various coun- 
tries must demand a type of design and 
vegetation solely adapted to the various 
sections of country. 
The period is fast passing, when as 
formerly, we needed to look to continen- 
tal work for our inspirations. The pro- 
fession upon the American continent, 
through its growing standards, is pro- 
gressing rapidly to the point where from 
the very nature of the country and its 
problems we shall have a t3'pe of land- 
scape gardening as distinctly American 
as has been the foregoing European. It 
is destined to be one from the study of 
which the student of the art will only 
be enticed as a matter of pure curiosity 
into these foreign fields. The age and 
attending sentiment still surrounding the ' 
continental masterpieces is something 
which with intelligent preservation, will 
undoubtedly always fill the lover of the 
garden art with an admiration and ap- 
preciation which no sentiment associated 
with the .American gardens can supply.
