Today the art of gardening is practised much more often than any other, in ignorant, impulsive ways, by people who never stop to think that it is an art at all.
Let us look ahead as little as possible, keeping our eyes on the world of beauty around us.
Let us shun self-analyzation, self-consciousness, morbidness, affectation, attitudinizing. Let us look ahead as little as possible, keeping our eyes on our brushes and on the world of beauty around us.
We must give ourselves more earnestly and intelligently and generously than we have to the happy duty of appreciation.
