Abstract
THE author's expressed object in writing this book A was to induce people fortunate enough to possess woodlands to make them attractive and accessible. Having already written the “English Flower Garden” and the “Wild Garden,” he is careful in this case to point out that just as in the latter book hisjmrpose was not to destroy the flower garden, so in the present instance the arguments in favour of beautifying the home-woods are intended to persuade proprietors “after thought of the needs of a true garden, to think more of their woods from esthetic and other points of view.”
