X THE FORMAL GARDEN IN ENGLAND 



in detail, is an entirely distinct one, which has 

 been confused with that of horticulture, and 

 finally superseded by it. Horticulture stands 

 to garden design much as building does to 

 architecture ; the two are connected, but very far 

 from being: identical. This book has been 

 written entirely from the staiid- point of the 

 designer, and therefore contains little or no 

 reference to the actual methods of horticulture. 



The illustrations have been drawn by Mr. 

 Thomas, the letterpress has been written by 

 Mr. Blomfield from materials collected con- 

 jointly. The writer begs to thank Mr. Seeley 

 for permission to reprint passages from an 

 article on " Gardens," contributed by him to The 

 Portfolio^ December 1889. 



A list of the works referred to will be found 

 in Appendix III.
