NOTES ON THE ILLUSTRATIONS 



material. Miss Stannard's three drawings suggest frankly the charm 

 of those unambitious gardens which are chiefly fascinating by 

 their brilliancy of colour and profusion of flower growth ; and 

 Miss Adie, by her two studies at Hampton Court, shows what kind 

 of pictures can be made in those more elaborate pleasure grounds 

 which have been laid out by a designer who worked originally with 

 a view to stately developments. Mr. Elgood and Mr. Rowe set 

 forth the beauties of places which are types of what the garden 

 should be when it is intended to satisfy that love of the picturesque 

 which has called into existence in this country so much that is 

 worthy of careful preservation. At Great Tangley Manor, Penshurst, 

 and Brickwall the formal gardener has done his work with the rarest 

 judgment, and what exists now in proof of his skill is legitimately 

 the delight of the artist who can appreciate how intimately nature 

 and art can be associated.
