264 LANDSCAPE-GARDENING 



include a stream or a lake, with opportunities here 

 and there along their banks in stretches between 

 the fair greens for some shrubs or vines. The 

 vicinity of the club-house requires much study and 

 planning in order to produce the best landscape 

 effect. The club-house is in some respects like a 

 home, and the approach drive should be developed 

 along the same lines that would be adopted by an 

 individual. Usually the verandas of a club-house 

 will be larger, however, than those of a dwelling, 

 because larger numbers will wish to use them. They 

 will accommodate perhaps many groups at one 

 time. The landscape effects as seen by these groups 

 will be studied with certain purposes in mind. The 

 various views themselves as real outdoor pictures 

 will perhaps be the first consideration, but these 

 views should be influenced by the desire of those 

 sitting on the veranda to watch the players in dif- 

 ferent parts of the course and especially the ap- 

 proach to the 9th and i8th holes. The passing 

 of an island of trees, however, will not detract from 

 the interest, as one can watch the players in ap- 

 proaching the island and a little later as they 

 emerge ; a group of foliage in the golf grounds an- 

 swering the same purpose as an island in a lake.
