A pair of drawings shows planss for the layout of the boxwood garden in 1913 and 1922.

Montrose Park. Above is Burnap's 1913 drawing of the Boxwood Gardens. Below, Payne's 1922 drawing of the "Revised Rose Garden." There is evidence that Payne prepared a simplified plan of the earlier boxwood layout and proposed roses in the interior of the beds. Portions of the plan are still evident, including the circular bed in the middle of the defined gardens and the arrangement of the walkways. In the end, it seemed the design in the 1913 plan was problematic to maintain in a public park, so the layout was simplified.
