The modern fashion of garages
close to the street “makes sense,"
he continues, but: “Replace the
balanced, almost symmetrical fa-
cade of tradition with one gigantic
window, as now seem* to be the
thing to do, and what's left of the
entrance yard becomes suddenly
ridiculous. So, too, does the window

garage in the back yard, he con-
tinues, “the old foundation plant-
ing gets older and messier as the
seasons go by.”

of the front yard problem which
ha* been gaining favor throughout

attractive garden planting in the
front yard.

den?': he writes. “What can it do
to help the situation? For one

Bailey's, but it shows what he is

the driveway*to the front door takes
the visitor into a little garden, gay
with flowers. From the picture win-
