Will Glorify the 50-foot Lot 
The problem of what to do with the back yard of a 50-foot lot surrounded by 
backyard garages has been prettily solved by a home owner with his own design. 
Although quite unorthodox in landscape design, it is a really attractive plan and 
when it is a few years older, will better screen out the unattractive adjacent view. 
With the handicap of such narrow space for screen plantings making it impractical 
to use large shrubs for the purpose, trellis fences were erected and planted with 
rambler roses. 
To keep the background narrow, tall 
slim perennials, hollyhocks and delphin- 
iums alternated, are used just in front 
of the trellis background. The use of 
walks cutting up the central grass plot 
is perhaps an error which should be 
omitted for better effect. The two 
arches in the foreground are also per- 
haps undesirable and unnecessary. The 
[4] 
walks should have been continued up 
to the residence with continuation of ( 
the borders to the house. In this case, 
the flower border and walk between the 
arches would be omitted or placed at the 
foundation of the house. However, this 
owner must be credited with a very at- 
tractive design and pleasing garden 
executed in so small a space.
