Foote Simplieirty. Do not clutter up the home grounds with everything that appeals as being individually beautiâ€" ful, in features, accessories, varieties of bloom. Interest. The design must be so laid out that your interest will be kept up as you saunter from one to anâ€" other, you must be lured on, led from place to place. Symmetry or balance. Two correâ€" sponding areas or corners or features need not be exactly alike, but there must be a similarity of style, equalâ€" ity of value and nothing that is disâ€" concerting to the eye. Congruity. For instance, a serpenâ€" tine walk or drive must not parallel a straight stone wall. hk Continuity. This essential would prohibit the planting of a formal hedge part way across the lot line or perhaps even part way around the lot and then abruptly stopping, carrying on the rest of the way with some inâ€" formal groupings. & Grandeur. This quality appears in the patriarch tree, the massive bouldâ€" er, walls on a large scale or in the distant hills toward which the vista ‘may lead the eye. Association. This quality may be of value only to the dwellers in the homegrounds. An old snag of a tree may be the center of happy memorâ€" ies to those who have lived out their lives in this home. The outdoor livâ€" ing room may still house memories of happy occasions, memories of childish laughter, of weddings, of family gatherings, of much that life has meant. Seasons of the Year. Each season brings into the landscape its own peâ€" culiar charms, making each one a lavish contribution to the life and beauty of the garden. Animation. â€" The chatter of the birds, the swish of the squirrel, the tinkle of the brook, the splash of the fish, the rustling of the leaves and the pool‘s reflections and shifting shadows, all contribute to the quality J Garden Picture we call animation. The playing child, the household pets, all help to round out the joys of the garden and greenâ€" sward. â€" Appropriation. Surely the various features and areas must be in. keepâ€" ing not only with one another, but must blend with their surroundings. For instance, rustic work does not seem appropriate in an otherwise forâ€" mal setting, but may fit in well with a "woods surrounded" and generally informal homestead. Light and Shade. How little we apâ€" preciate the value, as an immediate factor, in the landscape effect, that the sunshine filtering through and the play of the shadows give us, Shrubs _ are . used among other things, for the making of vistas, building borders, for screening unâ€" sightly views, for banking effects and for the corner angles. Changes in diâ€" rection of vistas, promenaes, etc., are also effected largely with shrub groupings. Trees are planted for shade, but as elements in the garden picture they are used to create the sky line, backâ€" ings for borders, the general framâ€" ing ‘of the picture, they are planted as specimens for their individual value, and in large estates, farms, ranches, and orchards, trees are emâ€" ployed as windâ€"breaks. The General Elements in the landâ€" scape picture may be said to be the sky and atmosphere, the lawn, the plantings, the vistas and the garden accessories such as benches, pergolas, lattices and pools.
