Figs 6 and 7 impress this lesson. The first shows shade and ornamental trees arranged almost as one would lay out an orchard, adding to the existing straight lines found in the buildings and boundaries, other straight ones on the lawa. The latter shows the same place and the same trees, etc., arranged more naturally â with curves and irregularity prevailing. The improvement is obvious to any eye.
