Landscape Architecture: As Applied to the Wants of the West; With an Essay on Forest Planting on the Great Plains (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Landscape Architecture: As Applied to the Wants of the West; With an Essay on Forest Planting on the Great Plains
The term Landscape Architecture is objectionable, as being only figuratively expressive of the art it is used to designate. I make use of it, under protest, as the readiest means of making myself understood, in the absence of a more appropriate term.
If the art is ever developed to the extent I believe to be within its legitimate limits, it will achieve for itself a name worthy of its position. Until it does so, it is idle to attempt to exalt it in the world's estimation, by giving it a high sounding title. My object in these few pages is simply to show that, by whatever name it may be called, the subdivision and arrangement of land for the occupation of civilized men, is an art demanding the exercise of ingenuity, Judgment and taste, and one which nearly concerns the interests of real estate proprietors, and the welfare and happiness of all future occupants.
