Excerpt from Old Shorter Houses and Gardens If you' pause, bewildered, at each beckoning path, the whole garden, beneath the weight of a century, assumes the air of repose, of age; it no longer pleads: it commands. But through the gardens is heard the echo of a ponderous coach as it draws up at White Hall in a Seventeenth Century May. A coach of that day made a stir through London streets, and as the arrival of this particular coach was attended by a great deal of state, a piquant memoir could, no doubt, have its beginning the very moment the short flight of steps is lowered by the footmen. It is the coach of Sir John Shorter, Lord Mayor, and as the door opens 'for a stately gentleman to descend there can be no longer a cause for indecision: this memoir will have its beginning in a coach.

Excerpt from Gardens Old New, Vol. 2: The Country House Its Garden Environment The gardens illustrated in the following pages are the types and exemplars of every class of English gardenage, though it may he observed that the formal character is chiefly exemplified in them, because, indeed, in various developments it largely prevails. They disclose a view of much that the greatest workers in our garden development have accomplished-most of them inspired to their task by traditional methods and the inherited love for the things that are old, a few influenced by later views, which greatly affected the character of garden plan and design, all glorying in the supreme beauty of the multitudes of flowers now in cultivation, and some kindled to their achievement by the enthusiasm of individual taste. In these days the love of gardening and interest in its history and character grow from more to more, and we cannot live anywhere without finding intelligent understanding and appreciation of the many various forms of garden beauty. The great gardens of England are taken as patterns in other lands, and among ourselves are regarded as sources of types and exemplars of every class of English gardenage, though it may he observed that the formal character is chiefly exemplified in them, because, indeed, in various developments it largely prevails.

In these days the love of gardening and interest in its history and character grow from more to more, and we cannot live anywhere without finding intelligent understanding and appreciation of the many various forms of garden beauty. The great gardens of England are taken as patterns in other lands, and among ourselves are regarded as sources of inspiration in any garden plan. Not every man can have a pleasaunce to his mind, but there are few who, in the glorious examples of our gardenage, cannot find some feature or suggestion for their need. The conflict of ideas which has arisen in regard to the higher character of garden design, giving rise to a considerable volume of polemical literature, is n itself an encouraging sign, because it shows how real is the interest felt in the garden and how zealous the quest tor knowledge of its right character and its many beauties. The controversy is not new, for did not Martial, in the garden of Lucullus, express his preference for the untamed beauties of Nature over the results of the custom which then prevailed of placing tonsile box trees amid the groves of myrtles and planes?

Excerpt from The Book of the Cottage Garden Scattered throughout the length and breadth of Eng land, facmg dusty roadsides, hidden among the Shadows of quiet lanes, clinging to the Slopes of seaworn cliffs, skirting golden commons, are cottage gardens innumer able. Rarely are they ugly often they are pictures of sweetest charm and complete artistic fulfilment. Here is no straining after effect, no surrender to the dictates of passing fashion, no meaningless attempt to introduce into an environment utterly foreign to them, styles and mannerisms borrowed from other countries. Here we Shall seek in vain the Statuary and vases which, according so admirably with the Stately dignity of those memory haunted gardens of Italy, distort and make hideous the expensive gardens which certain architects have planned for English parvenus. Motives of economy, if not those of better feeling, have excluded from our wayside gardens the varnished huts with windows of stained glass, which, dignified as summer-houses, adorn a thousand suburban plots. The cheap conservatory is conspicuous by its absence; there are no ricketty chairs with Striped awnings, tawdry Japanese umbrellas or portable hammocks. In short, the average cottage garden is a garden, not a piece of ground littered with a medley of rubbish, which lacks even the merit of accomplishing the doubtful purpose for which it was intended.

Excerpt from House and Garden, 1911, Vol. 19 What sort of foundation is, necessary for this tile construction? It is pos sible to use a foundation of any material that will serve for the ordinary frame or brick building. The choice of a foundation material depends usually on what material is most readily available in that particular locality. It is possible, and may be more economical, however, to use for the foundation these same hol low terra cotta blocks in the size that is made for that purpose - 12 x 12 x 12 inches.
