Figure 1 is supposed to be a

tract of level land in an uninter- PS Bord Pe 
esting locality, where we make 9 & $7 
our picture all within our pro- yg ¥ 
tecting tree plantations. y 
Figure 2 shows a place where 
the house is located on the 
point of a plateau some 30 feet Soe 
above the street, thus necessitat- vy they Hl 
ing quite a detour in the drive |. ee 
to overcome the grade as it ap- Ky. 
proaches the dwelling; the hill- eke ee os re See S| | 
side up which it passes, being 93 i ss ete 
thickly planted with evergreens, sam SFIS LS 
has the effect of a wooded glen, | 
To accommodate foot passengers, a path affords a more direct way 
of reaching the house, while openings in the boundary plantations 
enable us to view the distant landscape. 
In figure 3 an interesting hillside compels us to violate one of the 
Fic 3. rules already laid down, and 
ee carry the drive back across the 
lawn in front of the house. Here 
we also get distant views in dif- 
|ferent directions, the openings - 
| through the trees in the rear and 
to the left of the house being 
filled with low shrubberies to 
conceal some unsightly objects 
jw aie ie near at hand.

\Y eae nt ita Ny! |i what I have already stated once 
ee or twice, that what has been

es tionis not intended to set forth 
rules to be always strictly ad- 
hered to, but rather to suggest methods which in practice should 
be modified or not, as thoughtful study of each individual case 
may indicate.

DISCUSSION 
Pres. Underwood: This is one of the most interesting and 
important papers we have had; it is now open for discussion. 
If you have any questions you wish to ask Prof. Nutter, you can 
do so now. 
Sec’y Latham: Mr. President, I am very much interested 
in this paper. I brings out in avery clear and concise manner 
the possibilities of landscape gardening as applied to our homes, 
and I hope we shall be able to publish these three maps and, 
perhaps, the one that is now in the other room, in our maga-
