_Theoretical Features of Ground Arrangement_
There are five fundamentals which should be considered in finishing the
grounds about the small house, for it must not be forgotten that the
finest gem of domestic design will be lost unless it is placed in the
right setting. These five principles are the production of an intimate
relation between house and grounds, the formation of a natural frame
about the house, the building of interesting approaches, the planting
for seasonal effects, and the growing of interesting and beautiful
vistas as viewed from the house.
