To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is most con- venient too for weeding and picking, as stooping is dispensed with. I sometimes think if I had to form a new flower garden that I would have all the beds raised up thus, with small retaining walls, say three feet high, with the paths sunk between them. It might be made very pretty, with occasional arches over the paths and steps up and down in places. From a distance it would look all M 162 RIVERSIDE LETTERS xxi flowers, the paths being out of sight. You can have no idea, withou...t having seen it, how much flowers gain by being raised up thus, nearer to the level of the eye. At any rate I think that a large part of every garden should be treated in this fashion. I re- member E. W. Cooke, R. A. , had something of the sort in his garden at Groombridge, which he used to call ''The Bamboozleum, " the paths were scooped out amongst and between some sandstone rocks, the hollows were planted with bamboos, and the raised ledges with Alpine plants ; it was a delightful spot. In greenhouses and conservatories flowers are seen thus raised up, but the pots and obvious artificiality detract from the effect.
