LANDSCAPE GARDEN SERIES 



I LO IT Ik B LI./ 



Fig. 37 The private area may be either formally or informally planned 



or fence of lattice covered with vines serve to screen the view of the 

 private area from the street. When walls and fences are used they can 

 be so designed with arches and niches that in their appearance from the 

 private area they become an important and attractive part of the 

 development. 



The private portion of the property can be planned as a simple lawn 

 area bordered by trees, shrubs and flowers, or take a more comprehen- 

 sive form where the architectural lines of the house can be extended and 

 the boundary lines repeated in a formal scheme (Fig. 37) ; in other 

 cases a combination of the two before mentioned schemes can be used, 

 the garden being, in most cases, developed as an extension of the house. 

 (Fig. 29). 



In planning the private area, if it is to be arranged informally, it 

 might prove helpful to adopt a system such as is suggested herewith for 

 arranging the confines of the beds. (Fig. 38). By following this pro- 

 cedure a well arranged area should result ; the large circle representing 

 the general outline of the planting while the smaller circles represent the 

 individual nooks and recesses.
