Natural Landscape Spirit in Planting 
Address Before Minnesota Horticultural Society by 
C. B. lUaldron, North Dakota Agricultural College. 
The natural landscape makes a more 
direct and universal appeal to man than 
does any other element with which he 
comes in contact. 
It is the original setting of all his activi- 
ties, and the source from which his living 
comes. 
Our five senses, our primal instincts and 
our physical conformation are the result 
of the reaction upon us of the things of 
which our landscapes are made. 
.And as long as time rolls, the objects 
and elements that have helped to shape 
and mould us are those to wdiich w'e in- 
stinctively and unerringly turn. Whether 
the natural landscape is characterized by 
rugged picturesqueness or soft flowing 
lines of beauty, whether it conveys the 
sense of snugness and seclusion "or of vast- 
ness and expanse, whether the expression 
be that of quietness or of gaiety, we find 
in any or all of these qualities contented 
enjoyment or even keen pleasure. 
Rocks, w'oods, hills, waters and the rest- 
ful e.' panse of broad prairies all find in us 
a response as natural as the breath of life 
itself. 
The first gardens that man made had no 
relationship to the natural landscape. They 
consisted only of plants conveniently set
