GARDENS OLD AND NEW 



A Stone Urn at Margam Park, Glamorganshire

" Thes2 beautiful books owe their charm to the wonderful collection of photographs of gardens and 

 garden architecture which such a paper as Country Life has had a unique opportunity of making. The 

 principle conveyed in the letterpress is that held by all great gardeners and architects— that house and 

 garden are, or should be, intimately associated, and that the character of the possessors should be reflected 

 in both. The accounts of lovely garden after lovely garden are most agreeable reading. There is no 

 country in Ihe world where man created sylvan beauty can be found comparable to this in England, and 

 as albums of charming pictures for the garden lovers and a mine of elegant suggestion to the garden-maker, 

 these volumes are the best thing of their kind we have ever s&en."— Daily Chronicle.
