ARBORE'TTJM is a collection of trees and shrubs 

 capable of enduring exposure to our climate. These are 

 sometimes arranged in genera, according to their pre- 

 cedence in the alphabet ; but best in groups, conformably 

 to the natural system ; and, whichever is adopted, it is 

 quite compatible with an attention to facility of access 

 by means of walks, as well as to picturesque effect. 



A'RBOR VTT2E. Thu'ya. 



ARBOUR is a seat shaded by trees. Sometimes these 

 are trained over a wooden or iron trellis-work, mingled 

 with the everlasting sweet-pea, clematis, and other 

 climbing, sweet-scented plants. When the trellis-work 

 is complicated, and the structure more elaborate, with a 

 preponderance of the climbers already named, together 

 with the honeysuckle, &c., they are described as French 

 or Italian arbours. 



A'RBUTUS. Strawberry-tree. (From arboise, a Celtic 

 word for rough fruit. Nat. ord. Heathworts [Ericaceae]. 

 Linn. lo-Decandria, i-Monogynia.) 



Seeds, budding, and inarching. Common soil for the 

 hardy species ; sandy loam and peat for those which 

 require the protection of a greenhouse in winter. All 

 those are hardy evergreens which are not otherwise 

 described.
