Croquet has come into its own 

 again as a country home game. It 

 requires a space only 30' by 60', 

 including the boundary lines of 

 planks set on edge 



Lawn bowling is one of those games 

 too seldom played, perhaps because 

 it is not well known. It calls for 

 a smooth, sunken alley 10' wide 

 and 60' to 125' long

The single and double tennis courts 

 are the same size except for the ad- 

 ditional 4'/j' alleys on either side of 

 the latter. Turf, clay or concrete is 

 the usual playing surface 



For the golf enthusiast there is the 

 game of clock golf, utilizing a put- 

 ling green with consecutive playing 

 positions corresponding to the figures 

 on a clock's dial

The playing area, whether 

 for tennis, croquet, bowls 

 or what-not, shotdd form 

 a definite part of the 

 landscaping scheme. The 

 best plan is to include it 

 when the planting design 

 is first worked out. These 

 game centers were de- 

 signed by Richard H. 

 Pratt, 2nd. Landscape 

 Architect
