Caroline Testout, Mrs. R. G. S. Crawford, G. C. 

 Waud, Lady Pirrie, Souv. de George Beckwit'h, Mrs. 

 Henry Morse, Madam Abel Chatenay, and Laurente 

 Carle. The four three-cornered beds at either end of 

 plan could be filled with the following varieties — viz., 

 Frau Karl Druschki, Juliet, Mme. Melaine Soupert, 

 and Donald McDonald. 



The four weeping- Standards placed between the 

 triangular beds could be Minnehaha, Dorothy Perkins, 

 Dorothy Dennison, and Lady Gay. 



The forty-four Standards a selection of the best 

 hardy sorts, such as Caroline Testout, Gruss an 

 Teplitz, La Tosca, Gorgeous, Lyon Rose, Juliet, Mrs. 

 J. Laing, Frau Karl Druschki, Ophelia, George Dick- 

 son, Hugh Dickson, etc. If a number of one variety 

 is desired, balance them by keeping the same variety 

 on either side of the walk. These should all be as 

 near one height as possible. 



The hedge here is important, and may be com- 

 posed of the best Ramblers — viz., American Pillar, 

 Excelsa, Hiawatha, Lady Gay, Paul Transon, Emily 

 Grey, and Alberic Barbier, etc. These would require 

 to be trained on a fence suited for the purpose, with a 

 tall portion every ten feet or so, in order to break the 

 formality. 



Plant the bed Roses eighteen inches to two feet 

 apart, and the hedge Roses about two and a half feet 

 to three feet apart. 



The crazy paving makes an ideal walk, which 

 should be kept to the same level as the lawn.
