AMHERST LANDSCAPE GARDEN- 
ING EXHIBIT. 
There was recently held under the au- 
spices of the Massachusetts Agricultural 
College in Amherst, Mass., a very interest- 
ing landscape gardening exhibition. This 
was really a civic art show, the main 
object being to arouse interest in problems 
of civic improvement here in this com- 
munity. The exhibit was prepared by 
students of the department of landscape- 
gardening and especially by the class study- 
ing civic art. The most important group 
of plans were those devoted to various 
improvements in Amherst, such as designs 
for two new playgrounds, location of new 
post office, improvement of parish house 
grounds, school grounds, etc. These proved 
to be of great interest to the citizens of 
the town. 
Along with these there was a splendid 
exhibit of school grounds throughout the 
state of Massachusetts and nice exhibits 
from Harvard University School of Land- 
scape Architecture and from the Univer- 
sity of Illinois. There was also a very 
interesting group of plans prepared by Mr. 
John Nolen, landscape architect, of Cam- 
bridge, Massachusetts, and another very 
interesting group prepared by an old Am- 
herst student, Louis Brandt, during his res- 
idence in the University of Liverpool, Eng- 
land. 
The room was tastefully decorated by 
the department of floriculture and by the 
students in the landscape gardening class. 
The exhibit was largely attended, and on 
account of its novelty and its local appli- 
cations aroused wide interest. This is 
something a little new in the line of col- 
lege extension work, and, of course, can- 
not be undertaken in many places, but the 
results in this case were entirely satis- 
factory. 
A very simple, inexpensive type of park 
comfort station that will interest park and 
cemetery managers whose funds are lim- 
ited is illustrated here. This comfort sta- 
tion in the park at Hapedale, Mass., cost 
$1,471.20, of which the building itself cost 
$631.93, and the plumbing, sewerage and 
drainage, $839.27. 
The building is divided into two com- 
partments for the use of women and 
men. In the women’s side, there are four 
bowls ; on the men’s, three and an urinal. 
The building is shingled outside, and 
stained a dark brown. The same stain- 
ing is used on the inside finish. There is 
a partition between the two sides in which 
the plumbing arrangements are placed, 
there being an opportunity to shut off 
direct from the street mains for all the 
closets and bowls, and a separate shut- 
off for each fixture. 
The floor is cement, so that all that is 
necessary to clean out the building is to 
attach a hand hose and flush. 
It is open to the use of the public af- 
ternoons, evenings and holidays, when a 
caretaker is in charge.
