THE ART OF HOME LANDSCAPE 
By M. E. Bottomley 
Perhaps you are confused about 
formal and informal design. Per- 
haps you have wondered how to 
make a high wall terrace er house 
appear lower, how to widen the 
effect of a tall house, how to em- 
phasize a building or how to sub- 
ordinate it. You may want to know 
not only how to plant the front of 
the house but how to develop the 
yard and garden—the Home Land- 
scape, 
You have always wanted to get 
a working idea of the use of color 
in the garden. In this book Professor Bottomley has interpreted 
the principles of landscape gardening. He has made them 
practical and understandable to the amateur. 
The practical end of landscape gardening is by no means 
overlooked in this book. There is a thorough survey of the 
field of horticulture—how plants grow, fertilization, pruning, 
tree surgery, planting and maintenance. 
276 pages, 5/2 x 8, profusely illustrated. $3.50.
