Now let us study this design of an 
acre lot with reference to all these details. 
Your place or the place that you may have 
in mind may not be like this one in shape 
or extent, but nevertheless it will lend it¬ 
self to this style of treatment, which is 
our main object. 
The drive, which is both walk and drive, 
enters from one side and the out-buildings 
are reached without cutting across the 
main lawn. In going to or leaving your 
garage (G) you pass your residence with¬ 
out going some roundabout way. Your 
residence is so located that you have the 
best possible view of your lawns from 
your front porch (F. P.) and your living 
room (L. R.), while at the same time your 
out-buildings are so close that you ex¬ 
perience no inconvenience. The residence 
must, to a very large degree, be consid¬ 
ered as being diagrammatic, for in this 
matter individual taste plays so impor¬ 
tant a part, that at best suggestions are 
only safeguards. There are some features 
of a suburban home that make it enjoy¬ 
able. By means of our sketch let us study 
some of these features. The summer 
porch (S. P.) is fitted up with removable 
screens and used for a summer dining 
room. This porch is close to the pantry 
(P). Through the kitchen hall (H.) you 
have easy access to the drying yard 
(D. Y.) and the vegetable garden 
(V. G.). The front entrance is by way 
of the front porch, or you may use the 
carriage entrance (E.) at your discretion. 
The living room is a good size and 
through a bay overlooks a wide stretch 
of lawn. These details are important and 
must be worked out carefully, for they 
have much to do with the success of your 
home. The residence and home grounds 
are correlated and must be worked out 
together. (C. L.) and (T. L.) are cro¬ 
quet and tennis lawns. 
The garage (G.) and hen house 
(H. IT.) are so located that the yards 
(Y.) are together with only a fence be¬ 
tween them, but connected with a wide 
gate so the two yards can be thrown into 
one if you have no occasion to use them 
separately, thus giving you a larger hen 
park. The out buildings are located 
closely to the garden, so that all manure 
and compost can easily be drawn out on 
the garden at the proper time, and which 
aids very materially in making your gar¬ 
den a success. 
The garden contains thirteen fruit 
trees, i, 2, 3, 4 are Early Richmond, 
Black Tartarian, Elkhorn and May Duke 
cherry trees. 5 and 6 are summer apples, 
Red Astrachan and Yellow Transparent. 
7 and 8 are autumn apples, Fameuse 
(Snow apple) and Duchess of Oldenburg. 
9 and 10 are winter apples, Baldwin and 
Jonathan, n is Hyslop’s crab apple. 12 
and 13 are Kieffer and Seckel pears. 
Small fruits, such as black and red rasp¬ 
berries, gooseberries and currants, are 
planted in variety on the outside of the 
garden walks. The grape arbor that cov¬ 
ers the center garden walk (G. A.) is 
covered with Concord, Delaware and
