H ouse and Garden 
plans for landscape and formal gardens, hav¬ 
ing an importance equal to that of the houses 
they set off, show how far we are going in the 
direction of the older countries. The three 
designs that we reproduce are typical treat¬ 
ments of three different sets of conditions and 
of the extent to which we go in the care of 
surroundings. The garden at Morristown by 
D. W. Langton, is but part of an estate, sit¬ 
uated on high and broken ground, where the 
views are wide. The garden is therefore 
terraced, with low balustrades, and the trees 
and hedges so proportioned and placed that 
a clear outlook can be obtained. The water- 
garden in New Jersey, by J. L. Greenleaf, 
is, on the contrary, adapted to a low lying 
situation, and depending on its own inner ar¬ 
rangement entirely, is surrounded by high 
hedges, shutting out the landscape, except 
for the glimpses that can be obtained through 
the openings. In the garden treatment of a 
city lot by Charles W. Leavitt, Jr., there is
