ARRANGEMENT OF HOME GROUNDS

The larger the expanse of unbroken lawn the more 
extensive the grounds will appear. 
ARRANGEMENT OF SHADE TREES. 
In the case of the ordinary City building site shade 
trees may be very properly planted in the parking. In 
fact one of the reasons for providing the parking in the 
platting of a City is to provide a space for shade trees. 
The planting of shade trees in the parking is a consid¬ 
erate arrangement, for trees so planted not only furnish 
shade to the premises in front of which they are planted, 
but they also provide protection from the hot sun for 
pedestrians on the sidewalk and for everyone who uses 
the street. 
In the platting of most of our Southwestern Cities 
fairly adequate parking areas have been left between the 
street and the sidewalk for shade trees. But where the 
parking is very narrow (less than 5 feet) it is generally 
advisable to plant the shade trees just inside the property 
line. Under such conditions this arrangement is perhaps 
‘Shade Trees planted in the parking provide shade for everyone.”
