Turning deformity into beauty in landscape gardens

1501. The art of the landscape-gardener is never more conspicuously displayed than when he succeeds in turning a natural deformity into a beauty. In some cases this may be effected with comparative ease, as, for example, in turning an old chalk pit into a garden. In some cases this has been done with so much taste, as to surpass in effect gardens which have been laid out with every advantage and choice of situation.
