HIS volume deals with garden design as a whole, with 
reference both to the proportions and architectural elements 
which govern a successful plan, and to right and artistic planting. 
The first seven chapters describe in detail some beautiful gardens 
of varying type 
which _ illustrate 
the solving of dif- 
ferent problems. 
Very important 
are the planting 
plans by Miss 
Jekyll, whose 
reputation as a 
deviser of colour 
schemes is world- 
wide. In other 
chapters the treat- 
ment of various 
kinds of sites is 
(Reduced specimen illustration). discussed in detail 
with scores of plans and photographs of examples by well-known 
designers. The chief architectural features of gardens, such as 
pergolas, pools and fountains, walls, steps and paving, garden 
houses, seats and sundials, are described with a lavish series of 
illustrations. Others deal with cultural problems such as the 
planting of retaining walls, and the use of climbing plants. The 
illustrations are of a beauty and educational value impossible to 
over-estimate. No owner of a small country house who wishes 
to improve its garden can afford to be without this notable book.
