THIS 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 

 different 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 

 treatment of various kinds of sites is 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 re- 

 taining walls, and the use of climbing plants. The illus- 

 trations 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.
