Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Plan the Home Grounds The purpose of this book is to set forth briefly some simple basic principles concerning the processes whereby home grounds can be made beautiful. From the beginning it ill follow the various stages through which may be gradually and naturally developed the sensible, which is always the pleasing and attractive, dwelling place; for everything which is done according to sound rational principles and common sense is bound to be agreeable and beautiful. In as short a fashion and as clearly as lies in the authors power, it ill seek to set down the few points which are to be kept always in mind to properly work out and accomplish the permanently satisfactory result. To make these points tangible, by giving with the reason the example which makes that reason evident, the author invariably reverts to the general principles that should never be lost sight of in the selection and arrangement of the territory intended for occupation. These principles apply invariably to the small as well as the large places. The statement cannot be made too emphatically at the very outset, that it is always just as simple and just as difficult to lay out a small yard 25 x 100 feet as a gentleman's great country place of many acres.
