THE PLAN OF THE PLACE 



will not touch it, and the grass has to be cut 



with a butcher-knife. Plant a burdock in it ! 



The tennis -screen may 

 be relieved by a back- 

 ground (Fig. 154) and a 

 clump of ribbon- grass is 

 out of the way against a 

 post (Fig. 155). 



A word should be said 

 about just how to make a 

 group. Dig up the entire 

 area. Never set the bushes 

 V in holes dug in the sod 

 (Fig. 156). Spade up the 

 ground, set the bushes 



thick, hoe them at intervals, and then let them go. 



If you do not like the bare earth between them, 



153. The corner by 

 the steps. 



154. Tennis-screen against the border-mass.
