 of those which are small in size, or tender, as the miniature 

 climbers are proposed to be trained'against pyramids formed 

 wires ; two sorts being placed at opposite angles of the pyra. 

 mid, so that each sort may 

 1 cover two sides. The py- 



ramids may be 18 in. on 

 the side at the bottom, and 

 15 ft. high; and they should 

 be fixed ' ■ -- 



ments rising at least 6 in. 

 above the surface of the 

 soil. The pyramids are 

 proposed to be distributed 

 through the beds in such 

 a manner as to afford a 

 salutary degree of shade to 

 the dwarfs. The dwarfs 

 may be arranged in the 

 following order; which is 

 founded on the principle 

 of adapting the number 

 of sorts in each of Mr. 

 Rivers's groups, to the 

 sizes ot the uitterenlbeds.

17. Moss Roses, 24 sorts. 

 Two pyramids. 



In all, 17 groups of 

 dwarfs, and 27 pyramids 

 for climbers. Two sorts of 

 climbing roses arc proposed 

 to be planted against each 

 pyramid ; which will thus 

 include the whole of 

 Mr. Rivers's collection, 

 amounting to 54 sorts.
