(...) Carpet bedding, according to my principles, is a neat creation of garden art which does not fit next to all dusty roads or squares or small gardens, rather to well-maintained gardens, green lawns, close to buildings or around monuments. (...) From our public spaces carpet beds should not be missed, as if they were left out from there, the main highlights of our promenades would disappear, but even here they need to be in accordance with good tast, and cause wonderment."
