Within The City Boundaries: In 1840, iron manufacture was begun there. Incorporated as a city in 1860, with 13,405 people, Harrisburg played an important part as a Union Army training center during the Civil War. In 1869 the city's boundaries were extended, a water supply was provided, and sewers and paving were begun. The canal, railroads, modern highways, and airports successively have helped make Harrisburg a prosperous, growing city. Population: 79,697.WITH GARDENS a sense of enclosure is important. On small lots the boundaries 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 city boundaries the property lines.
Boundaries are of many kinds. Never install one that gives any suggestion of being a spite fence. Many American communities 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. |
