According to the above enumeration, there need not be a dozen duplicates 

 in the garden ; for, though there are some of tlie species repeated (such as 

 the laurustinus, the Cydonia japonica, the Chinese rose, &c.), different 

 varieties of each species may be chosen. The herbaceous plants may be 

 selected on the same principle ; so that, in tliis small garden of not quite a 

 quarter of an acre, nearly 800 different kinds of ornamental plants may be 

 exhibited. 



152. The herbaceous plants, both for the front and back gardens, we left to 

 be chosen by the lady of the house ; and the reader may make choice of 

 them from the lists given at the end of this work. It is proper to observe, 

 however, tliat, as the trees and shrubs in the back garden advance in growth, 

 the room for flowering plants will be diminished. After three or four years, 

 thei'e will not be much space within the beds fit for bringing fibrous-rooted 

 herbaceous plants to perfection ; because, for this purpose, it is necessary that 

 the plants should have unobstructed light and free air on every side. As the 

 trees and shrubs advance, therefore, they must either be thinned out to make 

 room for the fibrous-rooted herbaceous plants, or a smaller number of these 

 must be grown. The same remark would apply to the roses planted in the 

 beds ; because, to flower well, and look well, they require as much light and 

 air as the others ; and, like them, as has been before observed, they require 

 to be taken up every second or third year, in autumn or spring, and parted, 

 pruned, and replanted in fresh soil. Supposing the trees and shrubs, exclu- 

 sive of the roses, not to be thinned out, or reduced by pruning, then, in five 

 or six years, both roses and fibrous-rooted herbaceous plants would be choked. 

 The best mode of proceeding in that case would be, to cease to dig the beds, 

 and reduce or rake them to the same level as the turf, and to sow any spots
