Garden—continued. 
beautiful yet inexpensive flowers. In brief, it may be 
stated that nearly all the hardy or semi-hardy plants, but 
chiefly the former, will prove far more desirable and 
pleasing than any of the tender bedding subjects so much 
in favour with villa Garden owners. 
In most town Gardens it is desirable, as far as possible, 
to have a block at the bottom of the Garden, not only to 
make the place private, but also to shut out the everlasting 
view of bricks and mortar. For that reason the end (G) is 
marked as planted with trees and shrubs. Amongst those 
that seem to thrive in towns are Cupressus Lawsoniana, a 
quick-growing, tall, evergreen tree; all the Yews, Hollies, 
Tree Ivies, and the hardy Bamboo (Bambusa Metake). In 
deciduous subjects there are the beautiful Golden Privet, 
Berberis in charming variety, Acers in sorts, Prunus, 
Azalea Mollis, and Thorns. Many others might be 
included, but those named will produce a fine effect when 
well established. 
Fig. 402 represents another form of Garden attached to 
villas, and, as will be observed, the major portion is devoted 
to grass for tennis or other games. ‘This kind of Garden 
finds much favour, being both pleasing to the eye and 
inexpensive to keep in order. The subjects already recom- 
mended for planting against the house are also suitable for 
this one, Facing the trees and shrubs in the borders 
marked, such tall-growing plants as Sunflowers, Dahlias, 
Perennial Asters (or Michaelmas Daisies), and Rudbeckias, 
would have a good appearance. Facing those, again, 
Phloxes, early Chrysanthemums, and similar moderate- 
growing plants would answer, with bulbs of all kinds and 
annuals filling the space to the margin of the border. If u 
small pool of water could be made in one corner, the hardy 
Water Lilies would always prove a source of attraction ; 
and when once established they would require no further 
care. It is marvellous the immense quantity of flowers 
these plants will produce, and no flower is more admired 
than Water Lilies placed in glass bowls in rooms. If the 
boundary walls are covered with Ivy, a nice finish is given 
to the whole place, which is thus made to look homelike, 
and any newness is done away with. Any new house may 
rapidly be made tc appear as if built for many years by a 
judicions system of outside embellishment with trees, 
climbers, and other plants. The first cost may seem some- 
what heavy, but when once done, the only outlay incurred 
afterwards is maintenance.

IS GRASS SPACE FOR TENNIS OR CROQUET. 
Two other types of villa Gardens are shown at Figs. 403 
and 404. Fig. 403, in particular, shows a method of laying 
out which is less formal than that usnally employed for 
villa Gardens, the irregnlar-shaped beds when judiciously 
filled proving very effective, while the evergreen Arbor Vit 
and the graceful Weeping Ash used as lawn plants go to 
form a pleasing whole,

GARDENER. A term applied to one who has been 
trained in horticultural practice for a number of years, 
passing through the different grades of apprentice or 
student, journeyman, and foreman. In _ these days a 
Gardener must possess plenty of tact, ability to manage a 
staff, be well educated, and, above all, be thoroughly 
practical. Some knowledge of insect pests, plant diseases, 
and the chemistry of soils is also advisable. 
GARDENIA. Several species formerly included here- 
under are now referred to Randia. Gardenias may be 
grown in a temperature of from 60deg. to 85deg. from 
March to September; but during winter from 50deg. to 
60deg., with less moisture, will suffice. The best soil 
consists of equal parts fibrous loam, sandy peat, and well- 
rotted dung. Syringing, as stated in the body of the 
work, is very beneficial except when the plants are 
flowering, when it should be discontinued. The plants 
known to commerce as G. radicans and G. r. major are 
much esteemed, as they flower freely in small pots. 
To the species described on p. 52, Vol. I., the following 
should be added : 
G. citriodora (Citron-scented). 
axillare. 
G. grandiflora (large-flowered).* 1. white, large, solitary, 
lateral and terminal, six-parted, “scented ; calyx segments 
reflexed-faleate ; corolla salver-shaped. fr. yellow, glabrous. 
2. lanceolate, shining. Cochin-China. An unarmed, greenhouse 
tree, 
G. intermedia (intermediate). 
G. jasminoides (Jasmine-like), 
G. longistyla (long-styled). 
stula. 
G. Maruba (Maruba). 
G. radicans is a form of G. jasminoides. 
G. Sherbourniz (Mrs. Sherbowrn’s). A synonym of Sherbournia 
JSoliosa. 
A synonym of Mitriostigma 
A form of G. florida flore-pleno. 
The correct name of G. florida. 
A synonym of Macrosphyra longi- 
A synonym of G. jasminoides. 
G. hexagona has also been introduced, but is not in general 
. cultivation. 
GARDENING. This is now of national importance 
and of wide scope. It embraces not only the cultivation 
of gardens in the somewhat restricted sense, but also of 
frait, vegetable, and flower culture for market. Such an 
industry provides employment for thousands of both men 
and women. It is scientifically known as Horticulture. 
GARDEN PEEELE MOTH. 
calis. 
GARDEN SPIDER. 
GARDOQUIA. To the species described on pp. 52-8, 
Vol. II., the following should be added : 
G,. discolor (two-coloured). #1. purple; corolla sin. to Zin. long, 
distinctly bilabiate, pubescent. June. 7. petiolate, Jin. long, 
obovate or oblong, acute or obtuse, entire, narrowed at base, 
green above, woolly-tomentose beneath. Chili, 1827. A much- 
branched, greenhouse shrub. 
GARNET BERRY. 
GARRYA. A mistake frequently made in the culture 
of Garryas is that they are pruned at the wrong season 
of the year. They should never be eut back in summer. 
The best time is immediately they haye done flowering 
and before new growth commences, as they are then 
given the full growing season in which to make and 
mature their wood. Shorten some of the breast-wood and 
remove the worn-out growths altogether, so as to encourage 
and make room for young, vigorous shoots. When grown 
in bush form keep the centre of the plants well thinned, 
so that the air can pass freely amongst the branches, as 
it is at the points of the previous season’s matured shoots 
that the graceful catkins are borne during winter. 
GARULEUM (name mnexplained by its author). Orp. 
Composite. A small genus (three species) of greenhouse, 
South African, sub-shrubby plants, allied to Lagenophora 
(which see for culture). Flower-heads moncecious, radiate, 
terminal, pedunculate; ray floréts blue, strap-shaped ; 
disk florets yellow, tubular; receptacle convex, naked; 
inyolueral scales biseriate. Leaves alternate, pinnatifid, 
with toothed lobes. Only one species has been introduced.
