INCLQSURES 197 



Philadelphia. But I have not undertaken to divide 

 them into classes in the list, as I have the material for 

 the Greater Inclosures, for they were generally availa- 

 ble, the same as the garden flowers and vegetables ; and 

 they were in general use as edgings in the old world. 

 So it depended entirely upon the individual whether or 

 no they were made use of here. They are therefore 

 appropriate in an old-fashioned garden of any style.
