where he was engaged in floriculture 
and landscape work for some 13 years, 
afterwards spending several years in 
the stone contracting business. Re- 
turning to landscape work he was 
selected as superintendent of Lincoln

magnificent abilities in this work and 
in the treatment of the lake shore 
drive soon brought to him and the 
department under his care a world- 
wide repute. His accomplishments in 
the Chicago park system were justly 
called “a triumph of the gardeners’ 
art, over apparently insurmountable 
adverse conditions” and there was 
great popular indignation when

unscrupulous governor Mr. Pettigrew
