The best possible use of limited space is the keynote of gardening in Japan. 
It isan art that has approached perfection through practice by unnumbered 
generations. Requiring an uneven surface for its highest development, and 
containing much that is formal, landscape gardening in Japan is along lines 
more natural in conception than in any other country. America has much to 
learn from Japan in this art. 
FREE TO YOU, A BOOK, “GARDEN- 
ING LESSONS FROM THE JAPANESE” 
We have given much study to the principles of Japanese Gardening applied 
to American conditions. Many very fine places around Baltimore and else- 
where have been designed and planted by us. Now we have written a little 
book, ‘“‘Gardening Lessons from the Japanese,”’ which embodies the results of 
our study and experience. It tells just how you can benefit by what we have 
learned, no matter where you live.
