What to read after Art Out-Of-Doors?

I hope that no one will open my little book thinking that its title means Every Man His Own Landscape Gardener. A book justifying this name could never be written, and none' conceived in its spirit ought ever to be attempted. Practical treatises for artists' and students' use are, of course, another matter 5 but it was not for me to try to add to the number of these. All I have Wished to do is to say a friendly word to the public on behalf of gardening as an art - not attempting to speak of all its phases and problems, or to speak exhaustively of any among them, but simply to plead the cause of good taste by showing why this art should be practised and judged as are arts of other kinds.
