PLAN D 



This plan is adapted to an irregular piece of ground and is 

 especially suited to growing annuals and low-growing plants in 

 the formal beds with tall-growing perennials or shrubbery in the 

 borders at the rear. It will also develop satisfactorily as a plan 

 for a rose garden in which case the central bed may be planted 

 to tree roses or utilized for a rose arbor and in place of the 

 shrubbery in the rear, rose trellises for such climbing roses as 

 Mrs. Robert Peary, Climbing Meteor, Dr. Van Fleet and the 

 like may be substituted. 



When used for growing annuals or other plants the central bed 

 is designed for a cement lily-pool, or it may be planted to flowers, 

 but the pool is much to be preferred. Where sufficient ground 

 is at command the design may be repeated by laying out a 

 similar series of beds on the far side of the shrubbery border. 

 This gives a half circle and is a very attractive arrangement. The 

 shrubbery in this case may be planted to paeonies, with good 

 effect, especially if interspersed with quantities of hardy lilies. 

 Boxes of small evergreens or box, placed at the intersection of 

 the paths will be very ornamental.
