 most effectively. It is, indeed, a mere question of outlay, and nothing more, 

 whether variety of colour shall or shall not be extended from the garden to the 

 outer pleasure-ground and shrubberies, the hills of plantations, the outskirts of 

 woods and forests, and the most distant mountains and plains.
