TEXTBOOK OF LANDSCAPE GARDENING 
Problems 
The pupil should copy the drawing here used. The copy should 
be in ink at a scale of 1” = 10’. 
Next an original design should be made for a small outdoor 
theater. A suitable site should be chosen, and to this choice of site 
much study may well be given. Attention should next be given to 
the uses to which the finished theater may be devoted. When these 
purposes are clearly in view and all the physical conditions fully 
understood and a survey made of the ground, the design may be 
worked out. All details of grading, planting, stage, furnishings, 
seating, lighting, etc., should be fully developed.
