Italian Garden, Maymont Park, Richmond, Va.

Card Text (transcribed from postcard): Maymont Park and Museum is a bequest of Major and Mrs. James H. Dooley, to the City of Richmond. It was formerly their private home. The park extends over ninety-five acres, through hill and dale. Five hundred varieties of shrubbery and plants, many of them foreign, adorn the grounds. Rustic bridges, grottoes, bamboo fences, add to its rustic beauty. The Italian garden with its wealth of blooms is gorgeous in brilliant colors. The pagodas are real Japanese.
