III. Scheme for a city plot measuring thirty by one 

 hundred feet in size. (This is one and a half city lots.) 



Here a fireproof house has its garage and kitchen im- 

 mediately on the street; the main entrance to the house 

 itself is at the side of the garage and through iron gates 

 that lead to a tiled porch. The living room opens onto the 

 garden at its far end, while the dining room opens also at 

 its rear upon a paved court, in which is set an outdoor 

 aquarium. The house wall continues around the garden, 

 with shrubbery at one side, an arbor at the rear, and vines. 

 One ornamental tree is placed midway along the paved 

 walk leading from the court to a piece of sculpture at the 

 rear. 



In connection with city gardens it is to be noted that, in 

 general, an arbor offers more secluded shade than a tree, 

 since beneath an arbor and its mat of vines no eyes from 

 upper windows may penetrate. Moreover, vines may al- 

 ways be found that will grow and shortly cover an arbor, 

 whereas trees will not always grow in the city — and even 

 when they will they are a long time about it.
