" The number of those who really think seriously before 

 they begin to write is small; extremely few of them think 

 about the subject itself; the remainder think only about the 

 books that have been written on it." — Arthur Schopen- 



GARDEN DESIGN^ 



V A BEAUTIFUL house in a fair landscape 

 is the most delightful scene of the culti- 

 vated earth — all the more so if there be 

 an artistic garden— the rarest thing to 

 find ! The union — a happy marriage it 

 should be — between the house beautiful 

 and the ground near it is worthy of 

 more thought than it has had in the 

 past, and the best ways of effecting that 

 union artistically should interest men 

 more and more as our cities grow larger 

 and our lovely English landscape shrinks
