Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 1231 Glimpse Leasowes dominated by rules. However, a few general precepts and suggestions may be useful, and these are given in the following paragraph (see Figs. 1232-1238). The motive of a true landscape garden, as already ex- plained, is to make a picture. The picture should have a landscape or nature-like effect. The place should be one thing: it should emphasize some thought or feeling. It should have one central or emphatic object. Avoid scattered effects. Bunch or mass the planting. Dis- 5G tinguish sharply between the fundamentals and the in- cidentals,—those things which are to give the character or tone to the place, and those which are embellishments or ornaments. Keeponeor more spaces open. Plant the sides or boundaries with masses. Use single or individual plants only to emphasize or to heighten an effect, not to.
