PLAN FOR A CITY GARDEN 



This plan, made for Mr. J. R. Mellon, of Pittsburg, shows a very elaborate and com- 

 prehensive garden, and one that proved very successful. The garden is entirely inclosed 

 with stone walls and shrubbery. The garden-house is a reproduction of an Irish thatched 

 cottage, and the garden in the rear of it is a miniature vegetable garden. 



EXPLANATION OF PLAN 



1, I, i, i. Deciduous shrubs. 



2, 2, 2, 2. Herbaceous perennials. 



3, Rhododendrons and lilies. 



4, Ghent and Mollis azaleas, and lilies. 



5, 5. Single and double peonies. 



6, 7, 8. Specimen shrubs. 



9. Hybrid perpetual roses, and daffodils. 



10. Specimen plants. 



11. Tree peonies. 



12. Pond for water lilies and nelumbiums. 



13. Rockery, waterfall, and brook. 



14. Inclosed space for soil manure and 



rubbish. 



15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Specimen shrubs and 



small trees. 

 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. Specimen trees. 



In addition to planting shown on plan, 

 climbing roses and other vines are freely 

 used to cover walls, buildings, and arches 

 over paths, and thousands of spring-flower- 

 ing bulbs are planted among the hardy 

 plants and in the margins of the shrubbery.
