APPENDIX, 



PLANTS FOE THE EOCKEEY, POND, ftc. 



DESPISE not thou the wild flower small it seems, 



And of neglected growth, and its light bells 



Hang carelessly on every passing gale; 



Yet it is finely wrought; and colours there 



Might shame the Tyrian purple; and it bears 



Marks of a care eternal and divine : 



Duly the dews descend to give it food, 



The sun revives its drooping, and the showers 



Add to its beauty, and the airs of heaven 



Are round it for delight. 



IN arranging the plants on the Rockery, the great 

 object to be kept in view, is to place them so, that 

 the flowers, foliage, and habit of each, will contrast 

 well with each other; always taking care, that in 

 doing this, the healthy growth of each species is 

 secured, by placing it in a congenial soil and situa- 

 tion. Tallies, with numbers to correspond with an 

 alphabetical list, may be inserted beside each plant. 

 When they are removed to their Winter quarters, 

 they may be classed either alphabetically or botani- 

 cally, according to the taste and convenience of the 

 cultivator.
