320 LANDSCAPE-GARDENING 



The planting plan will show existing growth, espe- 

 cially along the street borders, and also the trees 

 and shrubs that are to be planted. With large 

 lots, in addition to showing the site for the house, 

 it is often advisable to indicate the proper location 

 for the entrance drive and the garage and perhaps 

 some suggestion of the arrangement of open spaces 

 about the house. 



The chapters on plant materials, planting arrange- 

 ment, and thoroughfares contain information appli- 

 cable to the planting plans for subdivisions. 



The cost of grading and making other improve- 

 ments in a subdivision planned in accordance with 

 the directions given in this chapter should be rela- 

 tively small, that is, much less than by ordinary 

 methods, while the beauty of an area developed along 

 the natural lines described would give pleasure to 

 generations yet to come.
