88 COME INTO THE GARDEN 



small and intimate garden that needs this more 

 distinctive setting apart, especially. 



It is with walks and gateways as with so 

 many other phases of constructive garden work, 

 of making and adorning; the one great obstacle 

 to our accomplishing the best results always is 

 the tendency to minimize the value of each 

 seeming small feature. Once rid of the idea 

 that anything at all does not matter, the road 

 to progress becomes an open highway along 

 which we are bound to move, if we resolutely 

 refuse to be beguiled from it this way or that by 

 the trifling, the unreasonable, and the bizarre. 

 These are the pitfalls of the unwary and un- 

 discerning.
