GARDEN PLANS 237 



object in presenting these plans is to elucidate 

 the subject of garden design in a concrete form. 

 If they should prove of use in individual cases, 

 so much the better. It should be noted that 

 each plan is made for a special aspect, and 

 that it will only hold good for an aspect not 

 greatly differing from that shown by the arrow 

 with which the plan is marked. But, given 

 the same aspect, the plan would serve for plots 

 of similar proportions and dimensions, and 

 with care to preserve due scale between de- 

 tails, for plots of larger or smaller size. Thus 

 the plan (Fig. 78) might be appHed to a plot 

 of twice the length shown, by lengthening the 

 central grass space and its associated borders, 

 and leaving the features at such end the same 

 as shown on the plan. 



In all these examples the following points 

 have been observed: 



1. Grass is confined to compact areas, with 

 means of access to them at more than one point. 



2. Trees are placed so as not to cast shadows 

 on the borders. 



3. Principal borders are in full sun. 



4. The summer house entrance is in shade 

 or partial shade.
