Practical Considerations 173 



tals, and the squares which will be noticed in the walks to 

 the east and west of the winter garden contain vases on 

 pedestals in their centers. The ground falls rapidly from 13 

 towards the viaduct (4) and continues to descend on the 

 northern side of this latter. At 14 is a drying ground, and 

 18 a yard for receiving rubbish and for the gardener's use, 

 there being also a small tool-shed between it and the terrace. 

 The kitchen garden, garden yard, and sheds lying at a con- 

 siderable distance, and being on very much higher ground, 

 it is convenient to have the means of depositing rubbish and 

 storing tools at this point. 



Several projecting parts or bastions, for the purpose of 

 obtaining more variety, are made in the principal terrace, 

 and the effect is further heightened by the introduction of 

 vases into these. At 15 are two urn-shaped vases of Aber- 

 deen granite or other dark material, while there are two 

 sundials on white stone pedestals at 16 and a large white 

 Warwick vase at 17. 



The walk between 7 and 8 is, as has been mentioned, cut 

 through between high banks, the natural level there being 

 twelve or fourteen feet above that of the flower garden. 

 Flights of steps ascend from this walk to a detached space 

 (19), which was arranged for a rosary. In the center of this 

 plot is a basin of water, intended to be canopied by a wire 

 temple for supporting climbing roses which would thus be 

 reflected in the water. At 20 is a rustic summer house with 

 an open porch from the principal walk to it, and this was to 

 be the medium of exhibiting the freer growing and more 

 rambling kinds of climbing roses which would scramble over 

 both the sides and roof of the summer house. Two span- 

 roofed glass houses (21 and 22) were to be placed at the 

 sides of the garden, for receiving the more tender sorts of ■ 

 roses, the one house (22), which is nearest the back road
