I found this c.1900 image in the Library of Congress photo collection. Judging by the surrounding building details, this garden isn't on what we consider a "skyscraper" nowadays :-)
The popular plants of the period are here in this garden though. I think I spot castor oil plant and moonflower. With salvaged boxes and kegs serving as the planters it seems to be a working class family's garden.
