14 LANDSCAPE GARDEN SERIES 



Types of open country views in which the "land- 

 scape" is spread out like a map. Our interest in this type 

 of scenery is first of all in the enjoyment of the freedom of 

 the open country. The view from a country place is of 

 the greatest importance in its success from a landscape 

 aspect and determines the layout and organization of the 

 plan. The size, shape and location of the house and its 

 architectural treatment of terraces and gardens should be 

 governed by the size or extent of the view out. A great 

 deal of study on the ground should be given to the planting 

 and grouping of trees near the house so as to emphasize 

 and frame in or continue the open country view.
