NOVEMBER 157 



gardening takes rank witliin the bounds of tlie fine 

 arts, so I hold that to plant well needs an artist of 

 no mean capacity. And his difficulties are not slight 

 ones, for his living picture must be right from all 

 points, and in all lights. 



No doubt the planting of a large space with a 

 limited number of kinds of trees cannot be trusted 

 to all hands, for in those of a person without taste 

 or the more finely-trained perceptions the result would 

 be very likely dull or even absurd. It is not the 

 paint that make the picture, but the brain and heart 

 and hand of the man who uses it.
