These will all bear the London smoke, and, with the exception of the sweet 

 bay, are quite hardy. If forty sorts in mixture were ordered from a nursery- 

 man, they would cost 9s. per dozen ; but, if the above list were given to the 

 same nurseryman, he could not afford them for less than Is. each on an 

 average, though the sorts named are in all the nurseries. 



103. To vary this mode of planting, in some places, such as at I and n, there 

 maybe planted groups of Mahbnia Aquifolium; and at omay be a group con- 

 sisting of laurestinus and arbutus, and also Portugal laurel, if the situation be 

 not too near the smoke of London for the latter tree. At p may be some varie- 

 gated hollies; and a few choice ornamental shrubs may be introduced in 

 various places on the margin of the clumps next the grass. At q may be a 

 Deodar cedar, which will grow freely near London ; and in some other 

 situations, as a single tree, may be introduced an Araucaria imbricata, or a 

 Paulownia imperialis, or a mulberry may be planted. Great care is, however,

 breadth intended to be produced in the centre of the lawn, and that they may 

 not interfere with the openings left among the clumps, and which are intended 

 to produce the effect of glades and vistas, and to give the idea of the place 

 being much more extensive than it really is. 



104. To form an evergreen screen to hide the boundary wall from the 

 windows of the dining-room, at s, maybe planted one of the beautiful Chinese 

 cypress (Juniperus sinensis) ; and beyond this may be a shrubbery of choice 

 dwarf junipers, and other similar plants, which may be mixed with hollies, 

 and dwarf evergreen oaks, or any other plants that may l)e preferred, so as to 

 have an agreeable effect, and yet hide the boundary from the windows of
