THE ART ® CRAFT 

 OF GARDEN MAKING 



By Thomas A. Mans: son. 



Honorary A.R.I. B. A. ; Lecturer on Landscape Design at the University of Liverpool ; Author 

 of <: Civic Art : Studies in Toivn Planning, Parks, Boulevards and Open Spaces.'" 



y^FTER dealing very briefly, in the first two chapters, with the history and present 

 i-\ position of garden design in this country, the various practical details of garden 

 X ^.formation are taken up and described from the choice of the site and its general sub- 

 division down to the finishing touches such as statuary and garden furniture. Technical 

 terms are avoided, and the whole of the matter so written 1 as to be equally serviceable to the 

 Landscape Architect in general practice or the Amateur. 



The tasteful use and disposition of all forms of garden decoration are specially dealt with, 

 and many pitfalls into which the Author's wide experience has shown the Amateur to be 

 liable to fall, have received careful attention. 



" We have nothing but praise for Mr. Mawson's encyclopaedic work. . . . The illustrations are not only a 

 delight as embellishing the text, but so clear and practical that an amateur could work from any of them. What 

 this book does not tell about the delightful craft of garden-making can hardly be worth telling." — The Daily Chronicle. 



" With its lavish supply of photographs of actual gardens, and plans and elevations of sites and their treatment, 

 this sumptuous book has been, and will be, of immense use to all who take delight in this most ancient craft." 



The Daily News. 



"A handsome, well-equipped, and very complete book, written by a man who understands his art. It is at 



once learned, and practical, and well written." — Country Life.

Although primarily an historical review of garden 

 craft, this volume is also designed to be of practical 

 help to those who have gardens to lay out or further 

 beautify. It deals very fully with the development of 

 the Parterre, which in all ages has been the keynote 

 of the garden scheme ; the treatment of Water in all 

 its varieties of Cascade, Fountain, and Canal ; the art 

 of Topiary, and of Treillagc ; of Garden Houses, 

 Orangeries, Gazabos, Aviaries ; of Terracing and 

 hillside gardening, and of Statuary, Vases, Sundials, 

 an.l other decorative features. 



"The beautiful series of books which Mr. Bats- 

 ford has devoted to the interests of those who 

 appreciate the charm of home and garden, has included 

 no volume more thoroughly satisfactory than this noble 

 quarto from the pen of Mr. Triggs." — Daily telegraph. 



"Well indeed has Mr. Triggs accomplished his 

 task. . . . His wide travels in search of the older 

 gardens, his patient search in libraries, and above all 

 his fine taste and true artist's perception, have fully 

 equipped him for the carrying out of the purpose of 

 the book."— The Garden.
