ARBOKE'TUM is a collection of trees and 

 shrubs capable of enduring exposure to 

 our climate. These are sometimes ar- 

 ranged in genera according to their pre- 

 cedence in the alphabet ; but best in 

 groups conformably to the natural sys- 

 tem ; and whichever is adopted it is 

 quite compatible with an attention to 

 facility of access by means of walks, as 

 well as to picturesque effect. 



ARBOUR is a seat shaded by trees. 

 Sometimes these are trained over a 

 wooden or iron trellis-work, mingled 

 with the everlasting sweet pea, clematis, 

 and other climbing sweet-scented plants. 

 "When the trellis- work is complicated and 

 the structure more elaborate, with a pre- 

 ponderance of the climbers already 

 named, together with the honeysuckle, 

 &c., they are described as French or 

 Italian arbours.
