To this end nature contributes two elements beauty in form and beauty in color. These elements of beauty appear in different proportions in dif- ferent kinds of art, and human appreciations of them differ. It will be enlightening to note how nature uses them. She makes free use of both, but not without some sense of propor- tion. She lightens and glorifies her forms with all the tints and tones of color, delicate and chaste here, rich and flashing with glorious beauty there; but no one can stud...y a land- scape, or a small section of it, without seeing how greatly its grace and charm are due to its lines, now wavy and undulating, again straight [37] THE VOICE OF and stately, opening exhaustless stores for the * imagination. This seems to be the ground- work in nature's plan, and it should be the main consideration in a plan for the garden. It will determine the main features of the gar- den, the direction and curves of its walks, the position and outlines of all the clumps and beds.
It is difficult for me to imagine a garden without flowers, yet I do accept the very revo- lutionary statement of a recent writer on land- scape gardening that "a garden may be abso- lutely flowerless and yet be lovely, " and that "one may have a world of flowers and yet have no garden in the true sense.
