Blomfield put the question whether the garden is to be considered in relation to the house or whether the house is to be ruled out when the garden is arranged.
Blomfield attacked the chief maxims of this unsystematic method, and especially the cardinal doctrine of the imitation of Nature.
When, eight years later, Blomfield was preparing the third edition of his book, he left out the violent preface to the second edition as no longer necessary, warning people, moreover, not to set up one artificial plan instead of another, which seemed to be the danger of the moment.
