Many lotsare smaller than this, but on a smaller area there cannot be muchplanting. In this case we do not strive for an extended garden effect norfor flowers the summer through. The most that we can do is to relievethe flat bare appearance of the lot—the whole block was graded levellong before this lot was occupied—^to tie the rather ordinar\-Iooking houseto the lawn and give the whole area a feeling that somebody lives thereand takes pride in his home. To make our problem more definite we shall further suppose severalthings.
