ABSTRACT
An elaborate hill garden is made up of suggestions of every normal feature of a landscape. For example, a pine tree which raises its top behind a hill represents a distant forest.
These gardens are not to be thought of as parks, though some of them are open to the public. They are the private possession of individuals, and are justly objects of great pride on the part of those who own them. It is certainly a delightful means to hospitality to be able to entertain guests in a garden, or to send out invitations to friends at times of the year when some feature of the garden is most attractive.
