LOOKING INTO A CITY GARDEN 



Designed and Planted by

OUTWARD THROUGH THE DOORWAY 



This garden is now four years old its maker tells us. In fact here is its history in his own words: "When the garden was first laid out the lattice 

 at the back did not exist, as large Privets came up above the wall from the adjoining property. The cold winter three years ago killed them; the 

 trellis was put up a year ago and some Wisteria set out to climb over it. The small trees in either corner are Japanese Tree Lilac (Syringa Japonica). 

 The small Rhododendrons on each side of the pool are Boule de Neige. In the centre beds are some of the hybrid Rhododendrons which have never 

 had to be replaced; near these Forsythia was planted and has done extremely well; in front of these we used Deutzia gracilis; for vines Wisteria. 

 The beds were bordered with Box, and German Iris was grouped in front of the shrubs just back of the Box hedge. In the fall the beds were filled 

 with Tulips of the Rev. Ewbank and Clara Butt varieties. When these were through flowering the space was filled with pink Geraniums." This 

 use of trellis is very effective, screening out ugliness and creating a pleasant sense of air and lightness. Garden at East 63rd Street, New York City
