GARDEN DESIGN 49 



The horticulturist and the gardener are indis- 

 pensable, but they should work under control, and 

 they stand in the same relation to the designer as 

 the artist's colourman does to the painter, or, perhaps 

 it would be fairer to say, as the builder and his 

 workmen stand to the architect. 



What modesty ! 



The men whose business it is to 

 design gardens are heartily abused. How 

 very graceful it would be on the part of 

 one of them to write an essay telling 

 architects how to build, and showing 

 that to build well it is not necessary to 

 know anything about the inhabitants or 

 uses of a house !
