The 1917 Reptonian: an annual publication representative of the work in the professional course of landscape gardening at the University of Illinois . sixty-eight The 19 17 R eptonian P. T. Troeger JARDIN DE LUXEMBOURG In the course in garden design, the study of the work of early Land-scape Gardeners holds an important place. LeNotre, the greatest of all French landscape men, designed manygardens, not the least among which was the garden at Luxembourg. Thestudents were shown a very indefinite print of the garden and were thenrequired to reproduce it in a measured drawing of larger scale. The advantage of this problem lies not only in the practice gained inmaking the reproduction, but in the familiarity which one acquires in thestyle and type of gardening with which he is working. The 1917 R eptonian Sixty-nine. seventy The 19 17 R ept o nian G. S. Rogers JARDIN DE MARLEY As in drawing up the plan of the Luxemburg Gardens, the studenthad the problem of redrawing from the best available plan, in this case thegardens of Le Chateau De Marley. This was not so much a problem ofdesign, as was stated before, as one that would familiarize the student withthe gardening of the French Renaissance. The main axes and featureswere measured and reproduced to scale by the student and the remainderof the design was drawn up as accurately as possible. The extreme smallscale of the problem gives the observer some idea of the immense pools andavenue-like walks that the French design demanded to accommodate thelarge crowds that were entertained in these extensive gardens.
