Gra&ing anb Sbaping (5rounbs 199 



The illustration of Mr. Agar's estate is introduced 

 to show how the shape of a lawn can be graded so as 

 to give the impression of no change of surface what- 

 ever, just a retention of the natural character of the 

 place by blending and moiilding the contour lines of 

 the ground. 



The centre of the lawn to the north has been greatly- 

 depressed, and still further to the north it has been 

 raised considerably and trees and shrubs planted to 

 shut out an unattractive view.
