MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. 



The New Fonnal Garden, with an 

 area of about 35,000 square feet, is 

 located in the court of the new con- 

 servatory. It is bounded on three 

 sides — north, south, and east — by 

 sections of the conservatory, and on 

 the west the enclosui-e has been com- 

 pleted by a pergola. The strictly for- 

 mal surroundings make a purely archi- 

 tectural design permissable and de- 

 sirable here. The result is probably 

 the most elaborate and finished garden 

 ever attempted at the Missouri Botan- 

 ical Garden. The walks are edged 

 with yellow brick, the same shade as 

 the path itself; low hedges border the 

 walks and govern the design of the 

 beds; numerous vases, flower boxes, 

 and garden seats have been used to 

 set off the terminations of the walks; 

 and the statue of Juno, which former- 

 ly was such a familiar object in the 

 main garden occupies the center of 

 the garden and forms its most con- 

 spicuous feature. Ultimately there 

 will be two small fountains in the cen- 

 tral panels while orange trees and 

 pyramidal box-trees will also be used 

 in the decoration. The principal fea- 

 ture during the flowering season will 

 probably be the pattern bedding. It 

 is believed that this form of gardening 

 — usually much abused — is in har- 

 mony with the surroundings here. 



The main bulb display in spring will 

 be presented m this garden and ? suc- 

 cession of bedding and foliage plants 

 will keep these beds a mass of color 

 in summer. A heavy border planta- 

 tion of hardy shrubs, interspersed 

 with Lombardy poplars surrounds the 

 Garden on the three greenhouse sides. 

 and the pergola at the west will be 

 planted with vines. This pergola will 

 undoubtedly prove a very popular re- 

 treat, for from it can be viewed not 

 only the Formal Garden, but also the 

 landscapes which ultimately will be 

 developed to the west.
