| Quotable quotes | "In every sensitive observer this co-ordinating faculty of the landscape painter is somewhat active, although it does not seek expression through the hand. The lover of pictures is properly complementary to the painter of pictures; and the art of lawn planting appeals directly to this delicate capacity in the human eye to blend foreground and middle distance, sky line and sky, into one harmonious, optical impression." p. 8
"NATURE AND ART IN LAWN PLANTING. An imitation of nature, however successful, is not art; and the purpose to imitate nature, or to produce an effect which shall seem to be natural, and therefore interesting, is not sufficient for success in the art of lawn planting, which depends on a happy combination of many circumstances that nature, unassisted, is not likely to bring about. p. 11
"I have looked upon the nearest approach to velvety turf I can get in this climate as an excellent canvas on which to paint with lovely plant color and form. Everywhere the exist- ence of this charming groundwork is kept in full view by retain- ing broad open stretches. On such spots shifting effects of sunlight and shadow have free play, and we gain that restful sensation which is somehow associated with green grass." p. 12 |
