About this book
An architect who made gardens for the houses he designed argues here for the old English way of laying them out. John D. Sedding wrote Garden-Craft Old and New, and this 1895 edition includes a memorial notice by the Rev. E. F. Russell and nine illustrations, mostly plans.
The early chapters treat the theory and art of a garden and trace its history. Others set the stiff, formal garden against the landscape garden and cover the practical side of gardening. Two last chapters, A Plea for Savagery and In Praise of Both, give the other side.
