us cannot do for ourselves. He should be AR 

 trusted to determine the leading features of 

 the place and the relative importance to be 

 given to its parts, but the details should be 

 determined as the garden develops, and if the 

 homemaker has the true instinct, his plants 

 will gradually appear where they are most ex- 

 pressive of the best emotions. 



The landscape architect can give the human 

 element to the garden, that is, he can mark out 

 its chief features in relation to the home; but 

 only the owner can give the more personal ele- 

 ment by making it expressive of his personal 

 soul. It is he who must give it the more deli- 

 cate artistic touch. 



The garden to be a garden must be filled 

 with the personal element. When the archi- 

 tect's work is done, it remains for the one who 

 is to possess and enjoy it to stamp upon it that 

 character which reflects the soul of its maker. 



It is not enough that the soul of nature be 

 in the garden. The human soul must be there 

 in acknowledged kinship.
