Terraces and Shrubs 



roots, traveling does not seem to hurt 

 them much, though no doubt it retards 

 their growth somewhat, which is all the 

 better if they are to be kept in proper pro- 

 portion to the place, which is not adapted 

 to anything very gigantic. 



Of one thing I have become certain in Looking 

 this limited experience of landscape-gar- ' 

 dening, and that is, that the pleasure is in 

 the doing, in the vision of the mind, in the 

 ever-expanding hope for the future. When 

 the trees have grown too large to move, 

 and the shrubs are irrevocably rooted, we 

 shall surely be no happier than now, when 

 they are viewed in a halo of imagination.
