• Formal Gardens are traditional with almost every 
race the civilized world has known. The ancient 
Egyptians cultivated them before the invention of 
paper. Archaeologists found them beneath the ruins 
of Pompeii. Today they dignify public buildings in 
almost every Capitol in the world. 
A Formal Garden is even more effective on a small 
piece of ground than it is on a huge estate — because 
every square foot of space is utilized in the design. 
No land is ''wasted” building up backgrounds. And 
the nicety of detail is brought out to the fullest 
extent.
