The flowers of our general garden merge into those of the alpi- 

 neries on the one hand, and into our rosaries and ferneries on the 

 other ; whilst the climbing plants are distributed so as to be effective 

 at all parts of the garden. The number which I have described is 

 as large as can be readily managed or fully observed with my present 

 appliances. The greater part of those which have been figured should 

 never be omitted to be grown ; but every year some novelty may be 

 added, to prevent even the loveliest scene from becoming monotonous, 

 from the same picture being continually presented to the mind. 



" I woll nat long hold you in fable 

 Of all this garden delectable, 

 I mote my tongue stinten nede, 

 For I ne may withouten drede 

 Naught tellen you the beautie all, 

 Ne halfe the bountie therewithall." CHAUCER.
