LONDON E P, DUTTON & CO. NEW YORK MCMVII PREFACE T is my ambition, that this book may be the means of | handing on to others some portion at least of the enjoyment and information which I have gained, by the permission so kindly given me to roam and sketch in many gardens. The book does not pretend in any way to be an exhaustive account of English, Scotch, and Irish gardens, or even to be thoroughly representative. Indeed, this would not be possible in the com- pass of a single volume. I regret extremely that circumstances prevented me from securing pictures of some of the luxuriant gardens of the West of England, and of the almost tropical effects of South-West Ireland. The subjects illustrated have all conveyed to me some lesson of beauty or usefulness; and, as the pictures are of results achieved in one part or other of the British Isles, I hope they may be equally useful to other gardeners, and stimulate the planting of still more beautiful effects. I have treated flowers not as single specimens, but in relation to their setting of house or wall, lawn or wood- land, or as a foreground to the landscape, planned for the beauty of the whole effect, for to me a garden is an opportunity of growing beautiful pictures. Where flowers are considered solely botanically instead of pictorially, the interest of the garden may Vv be increased, but its beauty will never be very great. As no two gardens are identically alike, no stringent rules can be laid down for the achievement of a picturesque arrangement. Adaptability to existing conditions, and the power to see and use the natural beauties of the ground to the greatest advantage, are essentials to success. I have endeavoured to give hints on the employment of many bulbs and blossoming trees, and of all the most effective garden flowers, such as Lilies, Roses, Irises, Campanulas, etc., and to supplement, as far as possible, some of the omissions in my former book “ Garden Colour.” Where my own knowledge has been inadequate to deal with certain. subjects, friends have been good enough to contri- bute papers, which have greatly added to the value of the book, and I take this opportunity of thanking them cordially. vi CONTENTS GARDENS OF IRELAND— Irn1sH Memorizs.
