57 & Loudoji's Illustrations of Landscape- Gardening. 



14. Camellia japoiiica wyrtifolia. Supposed to have been imported, in 

 1808, for the Kew garden. The branches are numerous ; the flowers freely 

 produced, large in proportion to the size of the plant in the leaves, of a 

 deep rose colour when they first open, but paler when they become 

 expanded. In certain soils, and undar different kinds of treatment, this 

 variety is apt to vary a good deal ; and hence we hear of the large myrtle- 

 leaved, small myrtle-leaved, and large-flowering myrtle-leaved. 



15. Camellia japonica fimbriata, Fringed double-white Japanese Camellia. 

 Imported about 1816, but by whom is uncertain. " Mr. Colville, of the 

 "King's Road nursery, has the merit of being the first who brought it into 

 notice, and no collection ought to be without it." It resembles the double 

 white, except that the edges of the petals are ciliated or fringed. 



'■' 16. Camellia jap6nica Chandleri, Mr. Chandler's Japanese Camellia. 

 Originated by Mr. Chandler, in the Vauxhall nursery, in 1819, from the 

 seeds of a Waratah, crossed with the double-striped. Approaches nearer to 

 the Waratah than to any other variety, and is one of the very best sorts 

 which has been raised. 



Loudon, J. C: Illustrations of Landscape-Gardening and Garden Archi- 

 tecture ; or, a Collection of Designs, Original, and Executed, for laying 

 out Country Residences of every degree of Extent, from the Cot- 

 tage and Farm to the National Palace and Public Park or Garden,

It is the object of the above work to increase the knowledge, and im- 

 prove the taste, of the amateur and practical gardener, in all that relates to 

 design in gardening. For this purpose it is intended to select and publish 

 plans and descriptions of a number of the principal country residences, 

 parks, pleasure-grounds, and other garden departments, which have been 

 executed in different parts of the world, in different styles, in different 

 times, and by different artists. Public gardens and promenades of every 

 description connected with planting and gardening will also be introduced. 

 With these plans, already executed, will be given at least an equal number 

 of original designs by the editor and by others, garden artists, practical 

 gardeners, or amateurs. 



The plans for country residences will comprise examples of every degree 

 of extent, from those of ten or twenty acres to the most extensive demesne ; 

 and of every variety of application or purpose, from that of the small pro- 

 prietor who cultivates his own farm, to the most splendid residence, or 

 public park or promenade. Though all the different styles of design that 

 have been adopted from the time of the Romans to the present day will be 

 exemplified, yet most of the examples will be given in the modern English 

 or natural style, as by far the best suited to the climate and state of civilis- 

 ation of Europe, America, and the colonies belonging to tiiese countries. 



A secondary object in the present work is to promote the introduction 

 in country seats, whether on a small or extensive scale, of botanic flower- 

 gardens and arboretums, arranged according to the Jussieuean or Natural 

 System. The enjoyment derived from flowers, and trees, and shrubs, as at 

 present introduced in flower-gardens and shrubberies, and known merely 

 -by their names, and with reference to the Linnean system, is felt to be 

 considerable ; but that enjoyment will be greatly increased by knowing them 

 with inference to the natural groups to which they belong. We shall be 

 able to show graphically, in the present work, with what ease flower-gardens
