INSCRIPTION 
TO 
LIBERTY HYDE BAILEY 
DEAR FRIEND: 
You have taught non-professional courses in Landscape Garden- 
ing. In this work you led the way. You have also loved the 
native landscape, and have written poems about it. 
For many years I have wished to dedicate a book to you, Writer 
of Books, Teacher of Teachers, and Believer in the Landscape but 
never having written anything worthy of such distinction I have 
desisted until now, when it appears certain that I never can produce 
such a book, but yet more certain that my respect and affection 
for you should find some formal expression. And so for these reasons 
this book is inscribed with your name, as indeed every related sub- 
ject has already been marked with your name and freshened by 
your touch. 
You may be well assured that this frail acknowledgment of 
esteem is but a tithe of all that is owed and acknowledged to you 
by your thousands of former students, in which group of fortunate 
persons I greatly rejoice to have found myself. 
FRANK A. WAUGH
