The problem of the landscape architect- even as of the architect, the town planner, the engineer, and indeed all men of good will- is now, and will be more acutely every day, the development of ways and means for bridging the gap between town and country, the antithesis between urban and rural life- more specifically between the masonry, the asphalt, and the dingbat construction of the town and the quiet greenery of meadow, forest, and shore. How to open up the town to the country, how to bring the town culturally to the country- that is our primary problem, and it will be expressed and measured in terms of quantity and quality of vegetation.
