Book Description
Excerpt from Art Out-of-Doors: Hints on Good Taste in Gardening I hope that no one will open my little book thinking that its title means Every Man His Own Landscape Gardener. A book justifying this name could never be written, and none conceived in its spirit ought ever to be attempted. Practical treatises for artists' and students' use are, of course, another matter; but it was not for me to try to add to the number of these. All I have wished to do is to say a friendly word to the public on behalf of gardening as an art - not attempting to speak of all its phases and problems, or to speak exhaustively of any among them, but simply to plead the cause of good taste by showing why this art should be practised and judged as are arts of other kinds.

Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ... XIII Four Trees "There is, I conceive, scarcely any tree that may not be advantageously used in the various combinations of form and color."--Gilpin. XIII NOWLEDGE and good taste must help in the grouping of trees, whatever they are and wherever they stand, if the result is to be artistically good. But, of course, the more peculiar a tree is in form or color, the more unlike the trees which chiefly compose the picture in which it is to stand, the more carefully should the laws of harmony, of simplicity, of proper emphasis and agreeable contrast be consulted on its behalf, or, rather, on behalf of the picture as a whole. Four trees with which we are very familiar are conspicuously peculiar: the Lombardy poplar, the weeping willow, the purple or copper beech, and the white birch. No tree is more useful in the right place or more ugly in the wrong place than the Lombardy poplar. One of Nature's "sports," never reproducing itself from seed, but easy of reproduction by the gardener, it is now an old friend of the people of every European land. In America we do not see it so often, although our fathers dearly loved to plant it. It has suffered much from disease in recent years, and, moreover, the canons of such gardening taste as we possess say that its formality is inappropriate in naturalistic landscapescenes. Standing alone in the centre of a naturalistic landscape, this tall, narrow, and rigid tree does indeed look out of place, and almost as sadly out of place if carelessly introduced among groups of other trees. Its qualities are distinctly architectonic; but when we recognize this it is not hard to imagine good stations for it. In a narrow city street, for instance, where much shade is not wanted, it would look extremely well, for its...
