associations which are identified with natural philosophy are 

 destroyed, and the mind left to wander on objects, as it were, 

 unsusceptible of the influence of science.

Art. XII. Plan of a Floiver- Garden, with a List of Plants for 

 one Year, by a young Lady. Communicated by J. G. 



Sir, 



The following plan is the composition of a young lady, 

 who, being fond of flowers, has directed her attention to the 

 effects of arranging them in different manners. Not being 

 satisfied with the garden as it lately stood, she made the fol- 

 lowing sketch (Jig. 84.), which, as a whole, is considered by 

 all who have seen it as very perfect in its kind ; for which 

 reason I send it to you, thinking it may afford some useful 

 hints to your readers. The beds are on turf, and the surround- 

 ing margin is of choice shrubs, early-flowering deciduous sorts, 

 and low, or slow-growing, evergreens ; the great object being 

 to admit sufficient sun and air, without which the flowers come 

 to nothing. J. G.
