"The principle of guidance in the selection and disposition of the shrubs 

 is, partly to coiiperate with the above object; bnt ])rincipally to produce an 

 agreeable variety of flowsrs and foliage thronghoiit tlie whole space, and 

 during every month in the year. For this purpose, certain evergreens (such 

 as the laurustinus), and certain flowering shrubs (such as ihe China rose), are 

 distributed throughout ; the same variety of the species not being repeated, 

 but different varieties. Tiiere are also shrubs for flowering at every season 

 of the year: such as tlie Chimonanthus and Cydonia jap6nica for autumn 

 and winter; the niezereon for early sjiring; the conimou azalea and rhodo- 

 dendron for the bfgjnning of summer; the clethra for August; and the 

 arbutus and wych hazel for the latter part of the season. The whole of the 

 trees and shrulis are of kinds which do not require peat earth, and may be 

 purchased at moderate [)rices." 



The following is the list of trees and shrubs enumerated to orna- 

 ment the garden ; they are all hardy, with the exception of a few 

 kinds ; and as the list may be useful to gentlemen planting lawns 

 or pleasure grounds, we give it entire. 



Tlie prices are put to each plant as they are to be obtained in 

 England ; but as they vary considerable from those of our nursery- 

 men, we have altered them as they may be had in the vicinity of 

 Boston or New York ; some are not to be found in their catalogues. 

 Those which are tender and need protection are marked thus *.
