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

 using a house that extends across the land from boundary 

 to boundary, leaving garden space at the rear. 



This house is Colonial in style, with garage and kitchen 

 gables on either end, facing the street. It is centered on 

 the land and the one axis serves to unite the entire scheme. 

 A fence surrounds this property, and from the house back 

 this is high enough to be a complete screen. Around the 

 front it is lower, allowing free view of the lawn, circled by 

 the entrance walk, which joins the short drive on its side. 

 Passing through the house onto the broad porch the simple 

 flower border opposite the house, backed by a low ever- 

 green hedge, conceals the sunken kitchen garden which oc- 

 cupies the rest of the space. A long but shallow arbor, open 

 on the inner side, with seats beneath it, encloses the rear. 



At the end of the porch, back of the garage, is a bird 

 sanctuary, consisting of a tangle of berried shrubs with 

 some cedars, a bird-feeding station atop a high post, and 

 a bird-bathing basin. 



Opposite this feature, at the other end of the porch, and 

 screening the path from the basement to the kitchen gar- 

 den, is a mass of small fruits, supplementing the six dwarf 

 fruit trees which line the walk at the front. Before the 

 garage is a shade tree.
