THIS volume deals with garden design as a whole, with 

 reference both to the proportions and architectural ele- 

 ments which govern a successful plan, and to right and 

 artistic planting. The first seven chapters describe in 

 detail some beautiful gardens of varying type which 

 illustrate the solving of different problems. Very im- 

 portant are the planting plans by Miss Jekyll, whose 

 reputation as a deviser of colour schemes is world- 

 wide. In other chapters the treatment of various 

 kinds of sites is discussed in detail, with scores of 

 plans and photographs of examples by well-known 

 designers. The chief architectural features of gardens, 

 such as pergolas, pools and fountains, walls, steps and 

 paving, garden houses, seats and sundials, are de- 

 scribed with a lavish series of illustrations. Others 

 deal with cultural problems such as the planting of 

 retaining walls and the use of climbing plants. The 

 illustrations are of a beauty and educational value 

 impossible to over-estimate. No owner of a small 

 country house who wishes to improve its garden can 

 afford to be without this notable book. 



" There could be no more helpful book than this to consult"
