Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, 1907, Vol. 32
The primary consideration in the formation of any garden should be the suitability of the site for the specific purpose in view. If greater attention were paid to this, the instances of failure or Of unsatisfactory progress would be far less frequent. Having chosen the site, then adapt it in the best possible way for the Object intended.
It is now well known that exposure to the keen biting winds of both winter and Spring is oftentimes more conducive to failure than frost itself. To this essential point due regard must be paid in the case of many plants indigenous to Japan such, for instance, as bamboos and palms; even the maples and some of the coniferae require shelter from cold Winds such as we experience in most parts of England. Shelter must therefore be provided, if not already existing in a sufficient degree.
In our case we had scarcely any provision to make in this respect, being well screened by evergreens, walls, and tall trees.
