viii PREFACE 



desires to reach those who love their gardens and 

 who like to think about them, and its aim is to 

 stimulate thought and make clear the possibilities 

 which lie as much in the smallest plot as in grounds 

 of larger area. 



There is a freemasonry among those who teach 

 and those who learn in garden-craft, and their places 

 are often and easily interchangeable. It is in this 

 spirit that the following pages are offered to the 

 reader.
