. Textbook of landscape gardening, designed especially for the use of non-professional students. Landscape gardening. LESSON 13 Cemetery Entrance HIS lesson is intended to present a simple prob- lem in design. The design is shown both in horizontal plan and perspective. Illustrations The plan is taken from a recent German book on suburban gardening.* The conditions represented are typical and such as might be met almost any- where. The solution is simple, practical and interesting. Discussion The land is slightly sloping, being about three feet higher in- side the cemetery gate than in the street. The land slopes also somewhat to the left, as will be seen in the perspective drawing. Entrance is made at the corner of the cemetery ground, a very practical arrangement, especially for a foot entrance like this. The entrance^ is dignified by being recessed from,lhe_street,_ and this effect of breadth and dignity js further enhanced _by- the broad flight of steps and by the two flanking benches. The two large deciduous trees are a main feature of the picture. It will be seen that this entrance is notiormal^4ve7r-not sym- metrical. It is not on the axis of the entering street. This asym- metrical arrangement is a distinguishing feature of the present design. For the development of a formal design it would be es- sential that the entrance gate should be on the central axis of the approaching road and that the whole design should be developed * Lange, Land-und Gartensiedelungen, 88.
