A GOOD PLAN 



The accompanying plan made for Mr. 

 Samuel W. Black, of Edgeworth, Pa., 

 shows an unusual arrangement, but one 

 that has proven quite satifactory and effec- 

 tive. There are two houses on the grounds, 

 one occupied by Mr. Black, the other by 

 his sister, and while each house has a sepa- 

 rate lawn the garden between the houses 

 is used in common. This garden is so 

 screened by hedges and shrubbery that 

 eventually it cannot be seen from the street. 

 The entrance road to Mr. Black's house is 

 between two hemlock hedges, with strip of 

 grass on either side.
