I. Scheme for plot fifty by one hundred feet in size, with 

 a narrow house which leaves garden space at one side. 



The house plan and garden plan are treated as a unit. 

 The garage is placed next the street, avoiding a long drive 

 and its consequent waste and disfigurement. The hall lies 

 between garage and house proper. The transverse axis of 

 the Living Room furnishes the first feature of the garden — 

 a broad terrace carrying the porch level to the side bound- 

 ary, and there screened from outside observation by a series 

 of rose-garland columns from which chains are suspended. 

 On these chains the roses are trained. The terrace is re- 

 tained by a dry, stone wall. 



The entrance from the street to the house is on the axis 

 of the porch (A-B), which axis furnishes the further union 

 with the rest of the grounds by a path extending to a Wall 

 Fountain at the rear. This main entrance passes into a 

 small flower garden under a rose arch, which spans the 

 opening in the evergreen hedge — kept low — surrounding 

 this little garden. A sundial is set in the middle; the form 

 of the flower border is governed by the form of the steps 

 approaching the front door of the house. It is to be noted 

 that all this portion is on a lower level than the terrace 

 and porch, and that tall flowers planted before these 

 effectually screen them. 



Disposed around the boundaries of the front portion are 

 eight dv/arf fruit trees. Behind the terrace there is space 

 for a rose garden if desired, or for strawberries and salad 

 plants. A mass of small fruits behind this space divides it 

 from the section across the back of the plot, all of which 

 may be devoted to a little kitchen garden if desired. 



The service entrance to the house is through the base- 

 ment by means of stairs at the side of the garage, screened 

 by a lattice. The second story of the house extends over 

 the garage and overhangs above these stairs, thus virtually 

 closing them in. A lift leads into the kitchen from the cellar 

 for the delivery of groceries, etc., and stairs lead up to a 

 grade door, giving access to the rear.
