I have just built a house in the position represented, and would like some hints with regard to the grounds. Also, what kind of grass would you recommend me to sow for the lawn ? W. S., BeamnvtUe. Fig. T,^ represents the ground in its unimproved state. There is, as yet, no special walk, except that which one would naturally take toward the house ; the drive is too straight to the barn, and it is inconvenient to walk from the house to the driveway in order to get into the carriage. We would advise a curve, as shown in fig. 34, approaching the house gradually to the carriage stand at 13, from which it will be easy to step in. 9 represents a large bed of evergreens, deciduous trees and shrubs, which will make a convenient turn-about for the carriage, without driving upon the lawn. 8 is a double row of native ornamental trees, which would grow up to hide the barns from the public view and from the house. We would suggest that the whole of the lawn in front of the house be fuhlicRoad 'U/Uic fioad ...,..v. °li 5.
