PRACTICAL LANDSCAPE GARDENING 



Fig. 85.-Plan 

 showing a lawn 

 planting around a 

 small house. The 

 trees marked No. 1 

 are placed for the 

 purpose of a back- 

 ground, while those 

 designated No. 2 

 are arranged for 

 the framing of the 

 residence. The 



belt plantation, 

 shown in an irregu- 

 lar fashion, is more 

 interesting and 

 gives a greater va- 

 riety to the scene 

 than is possible 

 with a straight bor- 

 der. Deciduous 

 and evergreen trees 

 are shown at the 

 broad portions of 

 the bed to give the 

 necessary height 

 and a more pleas- 

 ing skyline.— See
