1 2 PLANS FOR FLOWER GARDENS. 



kind or colour occupy the entire ; masses of colours in borders, 



or large square beds, on the contrary, would gratify more. 



The centre bed, marked 5, v. oilld admit, from the size, of both 

 Tigridia pavonia and German Asters. By observing the treatment 

 narrated in the June Number, 1834, p. 132, Tigridia pavonia will 

 never fail having a splendid appearance. 



The oval beds, marked 6, would be well adapted for annuals and 

 perennials of moderate height, or could be filled with varieties of 

 the Fuchsia tribe, named by Mr. Barratt, (to whom the floricul- 

 tural world is greatly indebted,) or varieties of Rose trees. The 

 few annuals I would most recommend are — 



White. — Double-flowered Chinese Larkspur, African Hibiscus 

 (dark centre), Sweet-scented Candy Tuft, Hawkweed, and Lu- 

 pines. 



Purple. — (Enotkera tenella, Early-flowered Wall Cress, Purple 

 Siberian Larkspur, Shewy Stenactis, Sweet Peas (purple), Calce- 

 olaria, Hepatica (double), and Pentstemons. 



Yellow. — Mignonette, Douglasi limnanthes, Chilian Monkey- 

 flower, handsome Calceolaria, and (Enothera Drummondii. 



Blue. — Shewy Insignis, Convolvulus minor, and Spotted-flow- 

 ered Calophanes. 



Crimson, Scarlet, and Rose. — Verbena melindres, Shewy Calan- 

 drinia, Pretty Clarkia, Sweet Peas, Malope trifida and grandiflora, 

 Hepatica (double), Chalcedonica Lychnis, Tufted-flowered Gilia, 

 Geums, Laratera, GEuothcra Lindleyani, Large Snapdragon, 

 Painted-flowered Galardia, and P«,ose Campion ; — not omitting 

 Three-coloured Gilia, Great-flowered Collinsia, varieties of the 

 Potentillas, Lychnideas, &c. 



A selection of the above-named flowers, together with any bul- 

 bous flowers, at the option of the cultivator, can be added to the 

 beds marked 7. 



The two borders marked 8, should be devoted to Dahlias and 

 Lobelia Cardinalis, one to each. 



The six exterior beds, marked 9, should be filled with the most 

 beautiful varieties of the Picotee, Carnation, and Pink. 



The subjoined plan (fig. 2.) is suited for beds upon a grass 

 lawn, A A being beds for two rows of Dahlias, backed by Holly- 

 oaks. B B, beds of Evergreen and other Shrubs, which shew off 

 the flowers before them to great advantage : these beds can be
