Excerpt from Villa Gardens: How to Plan and How to Plant Them
The Garden, however small, is so delightful an adjunct to the house, and gardening yields so many pleasures to its votaries, that it is a matter for regret that so few gardeners attempt to give artistic shape to the plots which they cultivate with such care, and not infrequently with every success, so far as the flowers and plants are concerned.
Their gardens are too often left in the form dictated by the speculative builder, when by the exercise of some thought and by the industrious use of a pair of hands, their little flower-lands might be made doubly beautiful and interesting.
This state of things doubtless results from lack of knowledge how to set to work to improve upon the builder's ideal.
