EUROPE'S GARDENS
In an illustrated book on "Gardens of Europe," published by Blackie, Mr. G. A. Jellicoe explores many historical gardens both in England and abroad in an endeavour to trace the lost secret of that co-ordination of landscape, sky. and architecture which should be the true aim of garden design. The author's path through more than a hundred gardens leads from England, through the great design of Chantilly, to Versailles and the gardens around Paris. Thence it extends through the Rhine gardens across Germany, and so over the frontier to Austria and Vienna. The path continues across the Alps into Venetia, along the lake gardens in the north of Italy to Genoa; thence to Pisa; up the Arno Valley to Florence, and so by Siena and Viterbo to Rome. The book is illustrated with many fullpage plates.
