 Planter's Guide, occasioned the review by Sir Walter Scott in 

 The Quarterly, already referred to, was a good authority on the 

 subject of planting, and by his own plantations, as well as in 

 his works, gave useful hints as to the management of trees, 

 and the choice of suitable ones for different situations. 



Thus the garden and its surroundings were once again being 

 treated with more skill and taste. Although other styles are 

 now practised as well, the landscape, in its reformed character, 

 still finds admirers and skilful designers.^ Architects have 

 made garden design more of a study, and artists and gardeners 

 also have, in many instances, shown that, with careful handling, 

 the landscape style can be reconciled to the house, and most 

 pleasing effects of scenery produced, well suited to this country 

 and its climate.
