36 AMERICAN GARDENER. 



LAYING-OUT. 



57. The Laying-out of a Garden consists in the 

 division of it into several parts, and in the allot- 

 tipg of those several parts to the several purpo- 

 ses for which a garden is made. These parts 

 consist of Walks, Paths, Plats, Borders, and a 

 Hot-Bed Ground. 



58. To render my directions more clear as well 

 as more brief, I have given a plan of my pro- 

 posed garden, PLATE I.
