1453. Landscape-Gardening, or the art of creating beautiful scenery out of plain unornamented ground, is generally considered the highest branch of the art of gardening, as the materials with which the landscape-gardener works include hills, dales, woods, and waters, and, in fact, all the noblest features of the natural country. In a more confined sense landscape-gardening may be defined as the art of arranging the different parts which compose the external scenery of a country residence, so as to produce the different beauties and conveniences of which that scene of domestic life is susceptible.
