Arboretum in the Garden of the Hort. Soc. 



garden is still more discreditable to the Society, than as a specimen either 

 of natural or artificial landscape-gardening. 



Altogether, when we reflect on this arboretum, we are astonished that 

 such an absurdity could be produced in such an age and in such a country. 

 We can only account for it by reflecting on the preponderating influence, 

 in the council and committees of the Horticultural Society and Garden, of 

 a gentleman, who, though lie has not attended to this subject, certainly 

 possesses great merit in point of zeal, activity, and perseverance, and 

 is surpassed by none in describing paeonies, crocuses, and chrysan- 

 themums. The evils to the Society which have attended the placing 

 of so much power in the hands of this individual have been pointed 

 out by one of our earliest correspondents (Vol. I. p. 146.), and they 

 will only be removed by the remedy there suggested. Nobody, how- 

 ever, will take the necessary trouble. What ought to have been done, in 

 order to insure a good plan of the arboretum, has been pointed out by 

 our correspondent, A Nurseryman. (Vol.11, p. 469.) We have performed 

 our duty in exposing the case for the benefit of other societies and secre- 

 taries.
