It Is this beauty of design, com
bined with a carefully planned utility
which makes buildings desirable, not
only In the eyes of the owner, but in
the regard, as well, of those upon
whose opinion the commercial value
of a building depends.

The shrubbery borders as u rule r
ipdro the use of all three types of
shrubs namely, the low, medium and
high forms. The two lower types are
generally used in front of the taller
group to serve as a transition from the
front to the hack of the border. Manv
times, however, the taller varieties arc
allowed to stand out boldly In front
or on a point to serve us an accent.
Plea for Garden Citiet
America, like European countries
where the evils of urban overgrowth
make themselves felt with etpial or
even greater force. Is now confronted
with the necessity of squarely facing
n situation which In reality consti
tutes the greatest menace to our civ
ilization. Can the garden-city Idea he
transplanted Into American soil? Does
It not conflict too violently with the
hyperliidlvldunllstle tendencies of
American economic life? If such Is the
case, would It not be possible to real
lie In Amerlcn garden cities of a some
what modified but nevertheless effec
tive type?
This, It would seem. Is well worth
taking Into consideration. It would
serre the purpose of achieving what
city planning alone, as applied to the
great cities In existence, Is Incapable
.of doing namely, effectively relieve
the population pressure of the over
grown cities and Improve a housing
situation none too good. New Tort
