Lower right—Garden maintenance is reduced to a minimum in this attractive residence. Skilful use of rockwork in paths and careful informal shrub planting have created the impression that the house is set farther back from the road than it is. The small lawn in front has offset the tendency of foundation planting to diminish the size of the building and draws attention to the style of the architecture. Tall shrubs planted on either side in the foreground have created an excellent vista effect, focusing attention on the front entrance to the building. Sparrow photo.
