GAMES and the 
LANDSCAPE 
SCHEME 
The tennis court should have 
adequate backstop and side 
fences. These may be well 
masked by planting. William

Croquet has come into its own 
again as a country home game. It 
requires a space only 30' by 60', 
including the boundary lines of 
planks set on edge 
Lawn bowling is one of those games 
too seldom played, perhaps because 
it is not well known. It calls for 
a smooth, sunken alley 10' wide 
and 60' to 125' long

The single and double tennis courts 
are the same size except for the ad¬ 
ditional 4^' alleys on either side oj 
the latter. Turf, clay or concrete is 
the usual playing surface 
For the golf enthusiast there is the 
game of clock golf, utilizing a put¬ 
ting green with consecutive playing 
positions corresponding to the figures 
on a clock’s dial

The playing area, whether 
for tennis, croquet, bowls 
or ' what-not, should form 
a definite part of the 
landscaping scheme. The 
best plan is to include it 
when the planting design 
is first worked out. These 
game centers were de¬

Architect
