Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gardener's Monthly, Vol. 11: And Horticultural Advertiser, Devoted to Horticulture, Arboriculture, Botany and Rural Affairs; 1869
Some part may be turned into the adjoining farm; or some other disposition made by which to turn it into a profit. But, if nothing of this kind present itself, it may be turned into some pretty feature, that would not be so expensive as the keeping of it regularly dressed and attend ed to. One of these is, to plant large belts or clumps of trees. These, if planted thickly, soon cover the ground, and take care of themselves.
Trees always give a great value to an estate, and, as they grow up, not only really add to the beauty of the place, but much lessen its working expenses. They also gives little wildness to the spot, which is in itself a beauty; for, when we speak of neatness as essential in a garden, we mean of course, those parts which one would be expect ed to keep neat, and which will look all the more neat for having a little wildness to contrast with them.
