TEXTBOOK OF LANDSCAPE GARDENING 
Exercises 
1. Select some piece of landscape gardening in the immediate 
vicinity, preferably the best example available. Examine this 
critically with respect to unity and variety. Indicate exactly where 
unity has been gained and where it has been lost; also where de- 
sirable variety begins to be undesirable. It is important in this 
exercise to discover the maximum of good. Much less emphasis 
should be placed upon defects. 
2. Select some tract of park or comparatively wild land in 
the vicinity. Study this with care endeavoring to select a land- 
scape motive most natural to the tract. Define this motive in 
writing. Then project three to six separate episodes or paragraphs, 
describing just where and how the several episodes might be de- 
veloped.
