Art. IX. Plan and Description of the Kitchen-Garden at Carlton 

 Hall, the Seat of Miles Stapylton, Esq. By W. Seymour, Son 

 of Mr. John Seymour, the Gardener there. 



Sir, 

 I send you a plan of our garden at Carlton Hall ( fig. 129.), 

 not that it possesses any decided advantage over the generality

of private kitchen-gardens, but it is considered very conve- 

 nient in most of its divisions, although it has the disadvantage 

 of being placed too near the back of the house, by which we 

 lose the advantage of a south wall and border, as that is oc- 

 cupied by the court-yard and out-offices. 



This garden contains about two acres, and is divided into 

 two parts by a flued wall (a a), about 10 ft. high, running east 

 and west; with four small fire-sheds (bbbb), the two middle 

 ones having two furnaces each in them. The outer walls (c c) 

 are about 11 ft. high, and the wall-borders (dd) 12 ft. broad; 

 the walks (e e) 5 ft., except the centre ones, which are 6 ft. 

 wide; and the dwarf fruit tree borders {ff) 7 ft. broad; the 

 alleys {g g) 3 ft. wide ; and the compartments for vegetables
