ON GARDEN PLANS 



The most charming gardens are the result of years of 

 growth and reshaping of plans. The longer one works 

 over a piece of ground the more clearly its possibilities 

 define themselves. A genius may create an artistic -gar- 

 den, planting as the inspiration seizes him, but the 

 average man or woman needs a definite plan sketched on 

 paper. There must be a certain symmetrical arrange- 

 ment of paths and beds. If the plan appears too formal 

 at first it is possible to modify it later. It is far better to 

 have a formal arrangement than to waste space because 

 of lack of any plan. 



Nearly all pieces of land are measured in rectangular 

 proportions, and hence the plans presented in this volume
