2063. The group of beds which is placed at the head of the chaptei' 

 is looked down upon from about an elevation of two feet : the tall plants 

 in the centres of the beds rise from three to four feet above the sur- 

 face. These, while beautiful in themselves, serve to diversify the outline, 

 and relieve the monotonous sameness of the garden. The tall plants intro- 

 duced must, however, be beautiful in themselves, or the result will not be 

 satisfactory ; their technical names and prominent position alike assert that 

 they are there to be seen ; and unless they will bear loohing at, they had bet- 

 ter be dispensed with. This group of beds was planted as follows in 1860 : — 



1. Centre, Scarlet Geranium, White Pe- 



tunia; edi;ed with Heliotrope. 



2. Centre, Fuchsia, Geranium (Tom 



Thumb) ; edged with Cineraria mari- 

 tima. 



3. Centre, Fnchsia, yellow Calceolaria; 



edced with Verbena (Purple King). 



4. Centre, Scarlet Geranium, Pink Kose- 



gajj edged with Golden Chain. 



5. Centre, Scarlet Geranium, dark Pe- 



tunia; edged with CEnothera pro- 

 Btrata. 



6. Centre, Cassia corymboga, Geranium 



(Rubens) ; edged "with Flower of the 

 Bay. 



7. Centre, Cassia, Geranium, Ceriso 



(Unique) ; edged with Mangles* 

 variegated. 



The centre plants are standards.
