GARDEN PLANS 259 



The following four examples of existing gar- 

 dens, planned by the author, will give the 

 reader some idea of how to treat spaces of 

 larger area than those already illustrated. 



Fig. 98. — A plot of about one acre. The house had been built before 

 the garden was designed, and made to face due south. Thus it was necessary 

 to work in contradiction to one of the rules laid do\TO in this book . Fortunately, 

 the circumstances permitted of obtaining a good result. The diagonally run- 

 ning broad walk constitutes quite a valuable feature. The separation of the 

 kitchen garden into three separate plots was by the owner's wish, and for the 

 purpose of making the lawn on the north side, whence a pleasant oudooK over 

 an adjoining golf course was too-valudble to be sacriaceci or marred by a fore- 

 ground of vegetables. The formal group of beds in tne south-west comer is a 

 rose garden.
