compensation. Neither does the fact 
that it may be fitting in the design 
of the immediate surroundings of 
important buildings to utilize an ar- 
chitectural or formal style of land- 
scape work rob the term “landscape 
architecture” of its true significance 
as a correct one covering very prop- 
erly the work of the profession in all 
its branches. 
While this term and its present day 
significance are relatively quite mod- 
ern and undoubtedly the ancient 
tongues contain no connotation of 
words used in exactly the sense which 
we have in mind when we speak of 
landscape architecture, still our stud-

ager. The company will make a specialty 
of carrying out complete landscape im- 
provements, and will take contracts to 
plan and execute to a finished state any 
form of landscape construction in parks, 
cemeteries or private grounds. They 
will carry out grading, road building, 
planting, gardening, building of arti- 
ficial landscape features such as bridges, 
lakes, aquatic gardens, etc., and assume 
all the details and responsibility in trans- 
forming land and water for ornamental 
or utilitarian purposes. . Mr. West will 
have particular charge of that part of 
the work pertaining to landscape design 
and planning usually understood by the 
term landscape architecture, and Mr. 
Noble, who is a graduate of the Massa- 
chusetts Agricultural College, will be 
chiefly employed in carrying out the 
landscape construction work! They have 
a number of important contracts on hand 
and Mr. West believes there is a grow- 
ing field for this broader aspect of land- 
scape architecture.
