PLANTING PLAN "B" FOR A PLOT 50 x 100 FT. 



This garden is planted 

 with an assortment of hardy 

 perennials, and the whole is 

 enclosed with hybrid Tea 

 Roses. The diagram repre- 

 sents a plot 50 ft. wide by 

 118 ft. deep to the curb. 



On the transverse axis of the 

 garden a Summer house is 

 located. This little open area 

 is necessary to provide a suit- 

 able drying area for laundry 

 purposes. The drier, however, 

 is of a movable type and when 

 not in use should be removed . 



The Summer House is sur- 

 rounded by the Ginkgo, one of 

 the most picturesque of trees. 

 Small arches spanning the two 

 entrances to the garden would 

 be a desirable feature, and 

 climbing Roses should be 

 planted on either side of the 

 arch, using Silver Moon, Dr. 

 Van Fleet, Tausendschoen and 

 Farquhar. 



The side line, west side, is 

 planted in hardy perennials, 

 with a flowering shrub at each 

 end as a terminal feature. 



On the eastern boundary 

 line dwarf flowering shrubs 

 are planted at equal intervals. 



The planting at the base of 

 the house consists of broad- 

 leaved evergreens. 



The hedge along the front 

 is the silvery grey Japanese 

 Cypress, with the green va- 

 riety at the ends and en- 

 trances for contrast and to 

 emphasize those points.
