TYPES OF PLANTING 



Fig. 4 Formal Planting 



In connection with conservatories and similar features in parks, or 

 public gardens, this type of planting does not seem improper, for it 

 has become established through common practice. Pattern beds of 

 exotic flowers and specimens of curious plants produced by skillful 

 gardeners seem acceptable if not carried too far from the feature 

 which furnishes the excuse for their use. It seems obvious that since 

 a conservatory houses rare exotic plants to a large extent, the area 

 immediately surrounding it may be considered as an outdoor extension 

 and devoted to a similar display of curiosities.
