TEXTBOOK OF LANDSCAPE GARDENING 
Problems 
If typical linear groupings can be found in the neighborhood 
each student should make actual surveys of existing groups. These 
surveys should be mapped to a uniform scale (1/’=10’ is sug- 
gested) and these layouts made by different members of the class 
should be exhibited together and criticized in detail in comparison 
with each other and with ideal standards. 
Class criticism should be directed further to a very thorough 
comparison of the merits of the linear group with the quadrangular 
group. 
Finally the pupil should design one or more entirely new groups 
of farm buildings based on the principle of linear arrangement. If 
possible these designs should be made for known farms where the 
actual farming requirements are understood.
