THE CITY YARD 



deal with the kind of yard figured In the last 

 sketch, we can strike out a little more boldly and 

 accomplish this: 







fV&:-:---

Fig. 8. — I, Flower-beds; 2, vase or fountain; 3. a tree, 

 palm, rustic bench, rustic shelter or statue. 



The scheme Is formal, but there are curves 

 to offset the angles, and the vase and bench, the 

 distant object higher and larger than the nearer, 

 serve to relieve any possible monotony of form 

 or color — though, really, that can hardly exist 

 in such a little space. Observe that the nearer 

 division of the yard, which is surrounded by 

 walk, is left in grass, except at its farther end.
