The views from the house are indicated by the converging lines. (fig. Three different scenes are open from the living room: We have the veranda along the south and east sides of this room. To the west the sight' is across Open fields to the lowering sunset. Different openings through the trees give glimpses of the life on the highway. Out of the dining room the picture is one of sunlight and shadow over the open lawn, under the trees to the color of flowers. The kitchen and rear porch are shaded in the sum mer; a walk connects them with the drive; storage room is ample; the office is handy to the drive, and an outlook to the west; the carriage porch and entrance hall face west. In conclusion, we may say that the farm home stands as the central feature, with the barns in a subordinate position. They are then brought into harmonious relation with each other through the artistic planting of native trees. Orchard and gardens are grouped as nearby accessories and the grounds about the house are further en riched with shrubs and flowers. The drive and walks allow convenient and easy access to all places and lead in a natural manner to the high way. Along the highway and in groups about the boundaries and cross fences trees are planted according to introduction and outline.
