CHINESE LANDSCAPE GARDENING.
Artisticnliy ON II Par with Their Ten
Chest Decoration.

From Chambers Journal
The Chinese were believed to have pos
sessed great skill in landscape gardening
from a very early period, though, If We are
TO judge from the illustrations on the ia
nous "willow pattern" plates. there is
skill.
In 1919 the Royal Horticultural Society
sent out the eminent Scotch botanist Rob-
ert Fortune to visit these famous gardens
of China-the land to which We owe the
peOny, the chrysanthemum, the azalea and
the camellia. He was enchanted by the
magnificent azalea-clad mountains of Che
kiang, one blaze of gorgeous bloom from
foot to summit, but he saw little of the re-
nowned landscape gardens, though enough
70 show him that much that was fashiona-
BILE in English gardening was merely n re-
lapse into Chinese barbarism. Indeed. as
a matter of fact the hideous system of
bedding out" which has In recent years
been so popular in this country. Is simply
plagiarized from the Chinese. Those de-
testable cockney ribbon gardens. with their
bands of red, yellow and blue-a blaze of
gorgeous but incongruous and inharmoni-
Gus color-are slavish initiation of Chi
nese taste-the taste to which We owe such
artistic masterpieces as the "willow pat
term and the Illuminated tea chest.
