HOME GROUNDS AND GARDENS. 



W. H. Dunman, University Farm, Lincoln. 



The amateur who is commencing to plan for the ornamentation of the 

 grounds about his home must have a well-developed, intelligent plan. 

 This is one of the essentials in landscape gardening. The ideal land- 

 scape is one of open spaces, pretty vistas, through a framework of trees, 

 shrubs, and flowers. The chief features to which attention should be 

 directed are the open space in front of the house, the limited number of 

 large trees, and the shrubbery at the sides. The selection and correct 

 arrangement of plants of growing things are important in the small place, 

 but not the number of kinds that may be planted, a too comprehensive 

 assortment of plants would be inappropriate for an ordinary city lot.
