PARK AND CEMETERY 
GOLDFISH POND IN THE TIERGARTEN IN BERLIN. 
landscape gardener leads visitors through the scene 
so as to enable them to fully enjoy its beauty. He will, 
at points where broad effects are offered, emphasize 
them by laying road crossings there, or let his roads and 
walks follow the courses of creeks and rivers, occasion- 
ally bridging over to the other shore. Along the left 
shore of the goldfish pond in the Tiergarten in Berlin 
runs the walk, while our photographer selected a place 
on the drive for obtaining a total view. Here, as in the 
illustration of the lake scene in Bremen, the shore plan- 
tation shows to some degree a sylvan character. The 
whole arrangement and especially the amount of care 
generally expended in perfecting individual develop- 
ment indicates that thoughtful composition of planta- 
tions and faultless form of the specimen trees and 
shrubs are essential factors in the artistic effectiveness 
of pond and lake sceneries. 
The Palmengarten in Frankfort on the Main is not 
a public park but is owned by a corporation of capital- 
ists. Its grounds are famed for their elaborate display ^ 
of flower and carpet beds and their spacious conserva- j 
tories. As a creation of Philip Siesmayer, one of the ; 
best known German landscape gardeners, this park con- 
tains numerous fine landscape compositions. In gen- 
eral effect as well as in detail it is a fair example of 
the German idea of shore planting.
