 in the following page are square, and are divided by a stone kerb. Their 

 proper place is in front of the mansion. It will be observed, also, that the 

 mode of furnishing the beds is given at the same time. Each bed is divided 

 into four half-diamonds diagonally.

 others furnished the small half-diamonds. This group of beds also looks

 with the best Noisette, Tea, China, and Fancy roses, as well as the

 charming spring garden, furnished with Crocuses, Tulips, Violets, Arabis, 

 Alyssum, &p.
