The Natural Style in Landscape Gardening 



design. Thus these help materially to emphasize 

 the artistic paragraphs in which the design develops. 



Certain outdoor games may be provided for in 

 the garden or the park, and such provisions help 

 further to add interest to the place and to popular- 

 ize the landscape gardening in a good and proper 

 sense. Of these golf is the one game which prac- 

 tically demands a background highly developed in 

 the natural style. Golf in a formal garden would 

 be less fitting than a dress suit on a fishing trip. 

 But tennis, baseball, croquet, bowling, and other 

 games can be nicely managed in naturalistic 

 grounds of suitable size. 



In all northern climates special provision may 

 very weU be made for skating. This and other ice 

 sports belong in the informal landscape almost as 

 distinctively as does the game of golf. And, simi- 

 larly, in larger grounds where water is present, 

 arrangements can sometimes be secured for the 

 corresponding smnmer sports, — such as bathing, 

 boating and fishing. 



Yes, there are hundreds of things which the good 

 designer can do to put life, interest and variety
