PREFACE vii 



on pictures showing portions of various English 

 gardens. If any apology is due to the owners of 

 these gardens I freely offer it, though I venture to 

 feel sure that they will perceive my intention to be 

 not so much criticism of the place itself as the sug- 

 gestion of alternatives of treatment such as might 

 also be desirable in places presenting analogous 

 conditions.
