NEW TREND SEEN
lin REAR GROUNDS
Seventy Per Cent of Large
!ISite of TiIden Gardens
l. Given to Lawns.

Rear wards and rear elevations Of
APARTMENT houses as well as private
dwellings are being given more and
More attention today. More space about
buildings is being devoted to Handicapped
lawns to provide more light and air and
more attractive building settings, &C
cbrding to indications seen in new
ptojectS here and in other cities.
sThe former rather general practice
IN the erection Of apartment buildings
OF devoting approximately 80 per cent
Of the land to the building and the re-
niainder to lawns, it Is pointed out,
virtually has been reversed in newer
OPERATIONS. An example here Is seen
al ;Tilden Gardens, the cooperative
apartment development Of M. 81 r. B.
Warren at Connecticut avenue and
Tllden street.
sof the five acres of land comprising
the site, approximately three and half
acres, or about 70 per cent, have been
utilized for the Handicapped and natural
gardens and lawns, approximately one
and one-half acres being occupied by
the six large buildings which will COM
pfise the completed development.
!: Center Garden Feature.
more than $4,000 will have been ex-
pended finally when the development
is completed for the handspring and
planting alone, 1t is stated. The fifth
building of the six-unit project is just
being completed.
I'm this development the natural con-
tours were retained and the buildings
SO placed as to leave un6isturbed the
towering oaks, elmS, naples, tulip pop
lars, locust and dogwood trees that now
afford shade to the grounds.
sThe center gardens at Ttlden Car
dens, with the main pergola Of giant
heWn timbers in natural finish, the re-
f1tcting pool and gravel walks, are the
pivotal point Gin the landscaping plan.
Three terraced approaches radiate from
them, affording access from any OF the
three streets completely surrounding the
property.
Paintings Described.
Japanese barberry and box bush out
line the walks and flower beds in both
the center gardens and the approaches,

First in the Spring blooms the dogwood
closely followed by forsythia, thunbere
and Van Houtte Spirea, deutzia, teino-
sbora, weigelia, and other Towering
shrubs. Then come the roses, gerna-
NUNS. cannas, japanese aZaleas and
other Towering plants, selected to afford
continuous blooms throughout the
Spring, Summer and Fall. In the
Winter there will be brilliant red ber-
ribs of the shrubs against the back
gEound of evergreens.
sInstead Of the garage being left with
bare roofs, each was converted into q
miniature roof garden by Sodding and

courts between the wings of the three
double buildings; these were converted
into sunken gardens with urns, stone
