Are the two main things to be sought in these little places, and since they can only be considered as one part or feature of larger places, no attempt to embody everything that could be attained upon a lot containing five or more acres will ever give pleasure or satisfaction within the limits of a small lot. The best that can be done is to secure one fine piece of lawn; a few choice flowers, not attempting to raise all that are named in the floral catalogues; and a few very fine, small growing trees and shrubs, in place of those of larger growth that are suitable for extensive lawns, together with only such walks as are necessarity traveled in going to and from the house to the approach, out-buildings, or flower garden, if one is kept at all; this last being of doubtful propriety within such narrow limits. Hence, use only small ornaments for small yards, and thus form a picture perfect in all its parts, but taken in miniature. But at present we will consider some things that more properly come first.
