6538. A collection of flowers for a small garden. Having given a selection of the most rare plants, and 

 such as in a state of cultivation are the most difficult to preserve ; we shall conclude with a list of flowers, 

 the ?nost common, hardy, and showy, which flower great part of the year, will thrive in almost any soil 

 and situation, and which are recommended as fit for the commonest description of flower-borders, shrub- 

 beries, or parterres.

Catalogue of Hardy Trees, with shoivy Flowers. 



6539. All trees may be considered as ornamental by adding to the beauty of land- 

 scape ; but we mean here to confine ourselves to such as are ornamental, by the con- 

 spicuousness of their flowers. These are not numerous ; they are all of the deciduous 

 kind, and their time of inflorescence is limited to two or three months. The principal 

 are the horse-chestnut, acacia, the fruit-trees in their wild state, some species of mes- 

 pilus, sorbus, cytisus, robinia, &c. ; these, with some others, we have arranged accord- 

 ino- to their height and time of flowering, in order to admit of a selection for the back 

 rows of the shrubbery. None of the few evergreen trees which we possess, have showy 

 flowers, but we have added the names of these, with their heights, to facilitate a selec- 

 tion for mixing with the deciduous sorts in the mingled or grouped shrubbery. We 

 have omitted all those showy flowering and evergreen trees which do not usually attain 

 the height of twenty feet, deeming it more suitable for our purpose to include them 

 amon" the shrubs of that size. All the useful and curious species of trees will be found 

 in Page's Prodromus, with their heights, time of flowering, soil, mode of propagation, 

 and other circumstances. In the Arboricultural Catalogue (Part III. Book III. 

 Chap. VIII.), the most useful timber-trees are described, and the shapes of trees, and 

 their colors, and characteristic expressions, are treated of both under Arboricultural and 

 Landscape Gardening. (See Part III. Book III. Chap. II. Book IV. Chap. II.) 

 Much less attention has of late been paid to the introduction of new sorts of trees 

 into this country, than to the introduction of fruits and flowers. The French and 

 Germans seem to excel us in this respect. A considerable number of new sorts of
