SHR0BS ADAPTEP FOR PLANTING ON A LAWN. 125 



Heaths and American plants generally flourish. If we mean to 

 instruct, let us be very precise in our definitions ; for he is no 

 friend to any cause who employs terms inapplicable to the sub- 

 stances which it is his intention to describe. In a word, the soil 

 of heaths is in constant requisition ; then, let the term expressive 

 of it be always employed. Peat, or the earth of bogs, is occasion- 

 ally used; the words real peat, or pure peat, would be definite, 

 and leave neither ambiguity nor doubt.

ARTICLE III.— A Select List of the most beautiful 

 Flowering Shrubs adapted for Planting in Beds on 

 a Lawn. By Mr. John Menzies. 



In reply to the request of Clehicus, at page 44, I have selected 



the names of a few good flowering shrubs, particularly adapted for 



planting in beds on a lawn. Those marked with an asterisk are 



evergreen shrubs. All the kinds may be obtained of Messrs. 



Young, nurserymen, Epsom; and at most of the public nurseries.
