BY MADELINE ACAE 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS 



" Miss Agar gives many practical hints for the 

 guidance of those who are not fortunate enough 

 to possess an old garden, but who wish to lay 

 out the grounds about a modern house size 

 at discretion to the best advantage. The book 

 contains some beautiful pictures and many 

 diagrams, and those who study its pages will find 

 all the resources of taste and knowledge placed 

 at their disposal." Standard. 



"Essentially a useful work. . . . There is 

 much simple instruction on matters of practical 

 detail that makes the book well worth reading." 

 Gardener. 



" All the work that goes to make a beautiful 

 garden, whether on a large or on a small scale, 

 is described in this volume with lucidity and 

 understanding. . . . Even those with very 

 small gardens will find this volume rich in sugges- 

 tion, and the illustrations will appeal to all lovers 

 of the beautiful." Aberdeen Free Press. 



"A well-considered book in which a compli- 

 cated theme is unfolded in due order and with 

 consistent reference to practical requirements. 

 .... We can commend her work not only to 

 settlers but to possessors of established gardens, 

 for their comfort or their correction." Man- 

 chester Guardian.
