thickness. This thickness of surface 
may be formed by the mixing or by the 
grouting method. 
In addressing men as well acquainted 
-with the subject as you are it is perhaps 
unnecessary for me to go into much de- 
tail in explaining how this surface 
should be made. I might say, however, 
that our experience in Massachusetts has 
led us to believe that the most durable, 
■and therefore economical material to be 
used as a bituminous binder, in the con- 
struction of a course 2 inches in thick- 
ness, is an oil asphalt or asphaltic oil, 
"having a composition of about 85 per 
cent asphalt. This material combined 
with iH-inch stone in the proportion of 
■eighteen gallons of bitumen to the cubic 
yard of stone, and placed upon the old 
surface, or a properly prepared new sur- 
face, to the depth mentioned, and thor- 
oughly rolled and sealed with a coat of 
bituminous material, and immediately 
■covered with sharp sand or stone chips, 
furnishes a wearing surface that is hard, 
smooth and satisfactory where the con- 
ditions do not warrant the construction 
of a stone, brick or other solid pave- 
ment. 
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 
(.Concluded from page 570) 
to design a monumental public li- 
brary or city hall simply because he 
was a good stonemason. 
Landscape architecture is then, as 
■Charles Eliot, one of Mr. Olmsted’s 
gifted desciples, has well said, “the 
art of arranging land for use and the 
accompanying landscape for enjoy- 
ment.” Landscape gardening is, it 
seems to me, a term conveying in it- 
self confused ideas, but used, if at all 
properly, simply to cover that part 
of the landscape architects’s work 
which has to do with the develop- 
ment of formal or natural beauty by 
the simple process of removing or 
setting out and caring for plants. 
This is quite Secondary to the matter 
of designing a general scheme for the 
•development of land for any given 
purpose. 
Certainly the elder Olmsted’s main- 
tenance of his title and his great 
works and those of his disciples since 
under this title, coupled with the fact 
that the only society of men profes- 
sionally concerned primarily in such 
work containing most of the better 
trained practitioners calls itself the 
American Society of Landscape Ar- 
chitects is sufficient rejoinder to the 
statement that the . leaders in the art 
have not decided what to call it. 
It is no accidental matter but a fact 
that both architecture and landscape 
architecture are bigger than garden- 
ing and may in justice demand larger
