L ESTATE Landscape Planning For the Homf Owner é p r lr n g t i m B Pole At this most fascinating season of the year every lover of nature in and around our glorious city yields to an irresistible desire to venture forth and enjoy the marvelous beaut which have been provided so generously for us. The owner of the small lot. who s : to enjoy his grounds to the ut- most, finds himself conironting a problem at the outset. What use shall he make of the ground? Shall he dedicate it to beauty, with a lawn and flower garden? Or shall be con- sign it to practical use, with a vege- table garden and small fruits? It !

For either produce or beauty one must plan, and a combination of the two requires more than twice the care. First a carefully designed garden plan must be made, a plan well or- ganized, but simple enough to be in keeping with the simplicity of the plant material in which it is o be car- ried out. An appropriate desisn is shown, with a central feature and two cross paths cutting the garden into four even beds. The feature in this case is a small pool planted, not with water lilies. as it might be in the flower garden, but with watercress and mint. An old-fashioned sun dial, suhstituted for the pool. would be quite as appropriate and less expen- sive. The garden could be attractively developed without any flowers. but since there are to be borders of cut- ting flowers, they are used as rihbons of color through the center The plan of the garden must be considered as only tentative until one has decided also upon the planting materfals. The owner must make a list of the things which he wishes to grow, and then he must edit the list from the point of view of beauty.
