his works, gave useful hints as to the management of trees, 
and the choice of suitable ones for different situations.

now practised as well, the landscape, in its reformed character, 
still finds admirers and skilful designers. 1 Architects have 
made garden design more of a study, and artists and gardeners 
also have, in many instances, shown that, with careful handling, 
the landscape style can be reconciled to the house, and most 
pleasing effects of scenery produced, well suited to this country 
and its climate.
