• Resumen

  • The making of Italian gardens is the most characteristic tendency of garden craft in America. It is an art so refined and beautiful, that is so finely effective, that gives so much pleasure and possesses so much absolute beauty in itself, that it is no wonder our landscapes are being Italianized, and our great houses, when it can be fittingly done, embowered in that formal surrounding of architecture, sculpture, and plants that the garden makers of Italy knew so well how to use.
