Gentlemen: — "When we bought your 

 little "FARM PUMP ENGINE" on 

 the strength of your ads, we thought 

 we had it up a tree, and when it got 

 here, we were sure of it. They all said 

 so, but today it is pumping water 

 through 1,200 feet of 1% -inch pipe to 

 an elevation of 100 feet and supplying 8 

 greenhouses, 20 head of stock, 2 pack- 

 ing cellars, 4 closets and 4 families. 

 And we have one windmill for sale. 



For its class it is the best designed 

 engine we have seen. Yours truly,

3. "About four-tenths of the charm of English 

 cottage gardens is due to the cottages themselves, 

 and these do not fit our present mode of life at all." 



I won't quarrel with the number of tenths given to- 

 the charm possessed by the cottages, but I will say 

 that I believe modern cottages on English lines can 

 be so designed that they will lose little, if any, of the 

 charm, and possess all of the modern conveniences. 



4. " Picturesqueness is almost invariably asso^ 

 ciated with dirt and dirt breeds disease. . . . 

 It hurts me to say so, but picturesqueness always 

 means increased cost, both for construction and 

 maintenance, and it usually means unsanitary 

 conditions." 



The few cottages that I have seen in England 

 were as scrupulously clean inside as they were pic- 

 turesque outside. My experience is that pictur- 

 esqueness means more in knowledge, forethought 

 and good taste, than it means expense. The aver- 

 age American and Canadian builder, who is usually 

 his own architect, knows little about beauty of line, 

 proportion and design, and the builder's creations 

 (speaking generally) in the cottage line shows his 

 knowledge in all its imperfections. 



On the other hand, many of the finest types of 

 English cottages were designed for large estates 

 by the best architects England and the Continent 

 have produced for centuries past, and these are the 

 examples that have been copied by the English 

 builders. 



It is my firm belief that cottages can be designed 

 on this side of the "big pond" which will be quite 

 as picturesque as those in England, just as con- 



These roses -were gathered from a Canadian garden 

 on November 17 



venient to work in, no more expensive to construct 

 because of their picturesqueness, and which will 

 be sanitary; but they will have to be designed by 

 architects who have spent a lifetime in learning the 

 principles of design, etc. 



Again I feel like my Missouri friend: "Show me" 

 a cottage that will surpass the best English cot- 

 tages, which are sanitary, and which are clean, 

 and I will believe my eyesight, but until then do 

 not belittle the English cottages, as they can be 

 made just as comfortable for our hot summers and 

 cold winters, just as mosquito- and fly-proof, just 

 as light and convenient, without losing the general 

 picturesqueness that gives them so much charm. 



5. "It is sufficient if my readers are persuaded 

 that to make exact copies of English gardens is 

 foolish, and we shall never have charming cottage 

 gardens in America until we have charming cot- 

 tages in an American style." 



That may be a long time to wait! Why should 

 we not try to improve our cottage gardens along 

 English lines, in lieu of something better, and let 

 the cottage improvement follow? Decorate what 

 we have, be it ugly as sin; we can surely improve 

 its looks by placing a few climbing roses about it 

 to hide some of its ugly lines. I cannot see any- 

 thing foolish in trying to make exact copies of 

 English gardens, as everyone puts his own indi- 

 viduality into his gardening and he would not get 

 exactly what he aimed for, though the effort would 

 be more pleasing for trying to copy a good, thing,
