the area to be covered by the building and select a T-shaped 

 ground plan for the house so as to secure the greatest pos- 

 sible surface for light and air. The rear has to be kept dry 

 and, consequently, warm, and aside from the shelter for 

 animals and apparatus, we feel the need of setting aside a 

 wide strip to keep our building warm and free. Lawns and 

 toy-gardens are arranged to be under the least disadvantage 

 from the neighbors' improvements. 



PLANTING OF A KINDERGARTEN ON 

 A FIFTY-FOOT LOT. 



The planting refers to the design illustrated on plate 

 number two. The west and south sides are towards the 

 street. Those species set in [ ] alongside the other enumer- 

 ated kinds refer to plants which can be substituted in cli- 

 mates warm enough to winter the orange without protection. 



Sidewalk trees: Locust and Mountain Ash [Locust and 

 Acacia retinoides]. Interchange the two trees mentioned, 

 plant sixteen feet apart and remove which ever kind proves 

 the least acceptable as years pass by. 



Arbor at entrance: Aristolochia and Scarlet Runners 

 [Wistaria and Morning Glories]. 



Alongside of house: Stretch wire-netting against the 

 house and train to it: Virginia Creeper, Clematis paniculata, 

 Sweetwater Grape, Sweet Peas and Scarlet Runners [Akebia 

 quinata, Tecoma grandiflora, Isabella Grape, Sweet Peas and 

 Scarlet Runners]. Plant in the corner a Holly of the plain 

 green-foliaged kind [Berberis Darwinii].
