"... if you are interested in gardening, remember that all the ridiculous things folks do in gardening are the results of fancy—not imagination—which manifests itself in three ways: 1. In striving after the unique instead of the typical, which results in strange, eccentric things. 2. In desiring complexity of design instead of simplicity; which results in elaborate carpet bedding instead of borders of hardy flowers. 3. In desiring display instead of privacy; which results in pretentious formal gardens instead of gardens that have the atmosphere of peace and affectionate family life."
