that is seen from either of the side streets. Of course the flowers 
to be planted in the beds on the lawn in the above line of view, 
should be only those which grow within a few inches of the ground 3 
otherwise the effect intended would be marred. 
Plate XXIX is a good example, on a larger scale, of long and 
open views. 
Plate XXI is an illustration of the rule to which we ask the 
reader’s attention, as an example of triple vistas on a lot only one 
hundred feet wide ; first, that formed by the small shrubs and 
flowers bordering the main walk, with the terrace steps and the 
house bounding the view at one end, and a hemlock archway at the 
other. From the bay-windows of the house the two other divisions 
of the lawn are designed to show to the best advantage, and over 
the low clipped parts of the front hedge, at a a, made low for this 
purpose, their beauty can also be seen by passers on the street. 
Rule II. 
Fig. 21.
