The Boundaries: WITH GARDENS a sense of enclosure is important. On small lots the boundŽaries may be those of the property or even plantings or other pleasant features on a neighbor's property, for when I speak of boundaries I mean not those of the lot but those that limit the view. On larger grounds the boundaries to views may be well within the property lines.
Boundaries are of many kinds. Never install one that gives any suggestion of being a spite fence. Many American comŽmunities are characterized by a complete absence of fences, walls or hedges around front yards; and grounds of all houses on the street merge into one delightful park-like picture of lawns, trees and shrubbery. If you live in such a community think well before you introduce what is likely to be an incongruous note by sharply defining lot boundaries seen from the street. The mere suggestion of definition by the skill-ful use of a flowering tree, shade tree, evergreen or clumps of shrubs is the most be done and ev.en then great restraint is needed.See Also Pushed The Boundaries:The Rock Island Railroad's bridge here (1855) was the first to be thrown across the Mississippi River and was the object of important and famous litigation. Additions have pushed the boundaries of the city south across Rock River, west of the village of Milan. Rock Island has a council-manager form of government. Pop. (1960) 51,863.

WITH GARDENS a sense of enclosure is important. On small lots the boundŽaries may be those of the property or even plantings or other pleasant features on a neighbor's property, for when I speak of boundaries I mean not those of the lot but those that limit the view. On larger grounds the boundaries to views may be well within the property lines. The smaller the lot the more necessary it is, as a rule, to define its own margins. The extent to which they are emphasized depends upon a variety of circumstances as does the means of marking them. If you are fortuŽnate enough to have good views of mounŽtains, sea or pleasant country you certainly won't want to block these. By careful planting you can, perhaps, frame the views to enhance them and direct attention to them. In other places, it may be desirable to install solid backgrounds higher than eye level to block displeasing views or gain privacy.
On The Other Hand See Types Of Boundaries Are:Back gardens are different. There you may bound the lot more definitely with advantage, but even so the type of backŽground should be fitting to the surroundŽings. A rustic, rail Fence that looks so atŽtractive in rural areas is likely to be quite out of place in a neatly tailored suburban landscape. Boundary features can form splendid backgrounds for flower borders and other special garden features. Types of boundaries are many.
Maps and charts are representations in miniature, on a plane surface, of a portion of the earth's surface. A chart emphasizes water areas and features that are of particular interest to a skipŽper. A map focuses primarily on land areas, with different types of maps emphasizing physical features, roads, structures, or politŽical boundaries.
