PROBLEM VI 



A Simple Home-Ground, by Pray, Hubbard, and White, 

 Landscape Architects, Boston, Mass. 



This property is located at Fall River, Mass. Its dimensions 

 are loo x 250 feet. 



"Y^TITH an inborn knowledge of garden art and 

 ~ ' land economy, the English make most 

 intensive use of their grounds. They invariably 

 divide them, no matter how small they may be, 

 into little parcels with well established boundaries. 

 It is this custom Americanized that is the subject 

 of this problem. 



The ground in front of the house is developed 

 into a shrub and tree bounded lawn, kept very 

 simple to be in keeping with the informal and 

 semi-suburban character of a Fall River street. 

 The planting along the sidewalk is high enough 

 so that you can stand unnoticed on the lawn but 

 it is low enough to allow from the entrance porch
