A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Preface. In the preparation of this work we have aimed at no esthetical ideas; but believing that the people, as a whole, need some practical guide for the improvement and decoration of their home grounds, we have endeavored to make practical plans to a scale, and from which we think any man of ordinary intelligence can plant, according to the plan and schedule of varieties. Since the labors of the lamented and talented A.J. Downing, great taste and desires for, and in the improvement of grounds around our homes, has been developed. The practical utility, as well as financial value of rural improvements is now fully understood ;and all careful observers of the values of real estate concede that one percent of value employed in decorating a rural home with appropriate walks and roads; with shade trees, shrubs and flowering plants judiciously arranged in the planting, will add forty per cent, to the value of the same when neglected. It is with this knowledge of the subject that we now present our work. It is well known that a small cottage, with trees and flowering shrubs judiciously planted, is worth double the value of a two-story brick house, without any shade decorations around it. There are many who reside in these pleasant cottages around our country, that have more of real enjoyment than the man with a palace of $50,000 to $80,000. There have been many elaborate works and well-designed plans, even going back one hundred years, but none of them have been adapted to the use of a plain, common-sense man, who can by measure, work to a scaled plan.
