“From the intimate union of art and nature, of 
architecture and landscape, will be born the best gar- 
dening compositions which Time, purifying public 
taste, now promises to bring us.” 
— Edouard Andre . 
“ A garden is a place arranged for promenades and 
at the same time for the recreation of the eyes. But 
it is also an accessory to the house, serving it as an 
accompaniment, an environment; and, within cer- 
tain limits, it is simply another apartment, an annex 
of the house. Therefore, how can the art which 
built and adorned the dwelling be refused the right 
to interfere in this exterior house?” 
— Vitet.
