1. Gardens for Small Country Houses. 



among others whose names are given in the text, are due our thanks for the care 

 with which they have made drawings of gardens and their features. The 

 pleasant but not inconsiderable labours of visiting dozens of attractive gardens 

 have been more than repaid by the courtesy and kindness shown by their makers 

 and owners. We may hope that they will have a second harvest in an increased 

 care to secure a right quality in garden design. It is impossible to compress within 

 the limits of such a book more than a fraction of what may be told by pen and picture, 

 but the endeavour has been made to ignore nothing that is essential.
