arrangement and with reference to the general color effect, both 

 by foliage and bloom, which will make the ground attractive 

 throughout the entire season. In the treatment of private grounds 

 it is not necessary to discuss the matter of formality or informality, 

 as each has its own merits and every prcblem must be solved to 

 its own individual advantage. Very often in connection with 

 the house a formal garden will act as an outdoor living room, 

 and will be a great addition to the house itself. An example of 

 such formal arrangement of flower garden in relation to the house 

 on a small private place in the city is shown by the accompanying 

 illustration.
