certain magnitude. Microscopic views, 

 strictly speaking, cannot be beautiful. 

 But height and depth and space in a 

 landscape mean vastly more than in a 

 •tatue, a painting or a piece of music. 

 A mountain cannot be a mountain till it 

 is a thousand feet high, and if a river is 

 not large enough it may be mistaken for 

 a brook. I like Champlain better than 

 Lake George, chiefly because Champlain 

 is larger. The plains of Kansas and 

 Texas are magnificent for their illimita- 

 ble, unbroken stretch. The great passes 

 of the Rockies lift our souls out of our 

 puny bodies, just by virtue of the sheer, 

 stupendous height of the encircling moun- 

 tains. Yes, mere largeness has its sesthetie 

 value. Size counts. 



The American landscape is wild. In 

 many places it is truly savage. Here and 

 there it has all the fierce, tempestuous 

 wildnees of the godlike confiict in which 

 the world was made. No one can com- 

 pare England with America, for example, 

 without seeing that the English landscape 

 is cultivated, subdued, humanized, in a 

 sense overcome by the operations of man. 

 The German forests are ordered like gar- 

 dens and look no more like the riotous 

 wilds of Canada or Minnesota than a 

 chessboard looks like a battlefield. To 

 be sure, there is some subjugation of the 

 landscape in America, and likely to be 

 more; but the great reaches of American 

 lake and mountain must stand eternally 

 above the encroachments of man. They 

 will forever express, more perfectly than 

 other landscapes, the gigantic forces of 

 creation. 



Its Diversity. 



Again, the American landscape is di- 

 verse. There are all kinds of scenery on 

 our continent. There are big, threaten- 

 ing mountains, and quiet, peaceful, little 

 ones; there are broad seas; there are 

 vast, fertile plains; there are noble rivers 

 and gurgling, gossiping brooks ; there are 

 pine forests and palmetto groves. Switz- 

 erland has one sort of scenery, Holland 

 another, England still another; America 

 has all kinds. 



But more than diversity the American 

 landscape has versatility. We complain 

 sometimes of our changeable weather and 



THE INPROVED CANNA 



Waahinston, D. C, 10-4- 10. 

 "These Cannas are desired for ornament- 

 Ins the BTounds of this Department, ^rhere 

 many thousand people from all parts of the 

 United States visit each year, and they could 

 hardly be placed In a more conspicuous place; 

 for this reason I wish to secure the best 

 obtainable." 



Bureau of Plant Industry, 



U. 8. Dept. of ABrioulture. 



The above sentence Is an extract from a 

 requisition for several hundred roots. 



I H E I'liiteti States Government aims to have the Ix-st of everything; 



* <li8tinct tone is jriven by the stamp of the Government's approval 

 secured by its adoption. 



The United States Government's Department of Agriculture ha« 

 adojited our f'annaf for planting in masses in chosen beds about the 

 national buildings at Washington, D. C. This fact clearly shows the 

 esteem in which our Cannas are held at the I^partment of Agriculture. 

 After consultation with the authorities, and careful examination of our 

 Improved (^annas, certain varieties wert^ selected that have clone so well 

 that other varieties will be adde<l next season.
