PRACTICAL LANDSCAPE GARDENING 



Fig. 34. — The elliptical turn is attractive and practical either directly in front of the house 

 or at the end. The ends should be full to give ample turning space. — See page 39 



the entrance is within sight of the turn. Where a great expanse of 

 ground makes it more consistent with a proportionate entrance to 

 have greater width, the drives may be made sixteen or eighteen feet. 

 This greater width is really necessary now to allow motor cars to 

 pass one another comfortably. 



Fig. 35. — To provide turning space for the largest motor cars it is necessary to^have a circle 

 not less than seventy feet in diameter. The center should be directly on the axis of the 

 entrance door. — See page 39 



Where possible, the pedestrian walk should be combined with the 

 drive, thus eliminating the further breaking up of the lawn. Walks 

 and drives are necessary, but cannot be considered as pleasing land- 

 scape features where lawn space is small. Any scheme that will help 

 to preserve the unbroken unity is to be desired.
