* Figure 85 is representative of a neat but rather stiff treatment of a yard in which 

 a medium grade is encountered. The planting along the foundation is good" and the open 

 front is commendable, but the terracing is poor. 



The grading should have been done by making one long, easy slope, convex at the 

 upper part and concave at the lower; gradually approaching a level", though always falling 

 away from the level of the house. Or the grade might be carried down by a double curve, 

 of like character, and two terraces. See Figure 86 for cross section diagram of the grade 

 as it now is and as it might be. 



The planting would be improved by the massing of shrubs along the sides and rear 

 of the yard.
