not thrive under the lime trees, being continually renewed 

 from the commercial gardens. The garden of M. de 

 Schwartz, at WeigelshofF, contains twelve or fifteen acres, and 

 is laid out in a style which aims at combining a kitchen- 

 garden, from which articles are sent to market, a nursery, 

 from which trees are sold, and a flower-garden, in which 

 tulips, hyacinths, and other bulbous roots are grown, with 

 the general effect of a landscape, or English, garden. The 

 gardener we found a very scientific young man, a beautiful 

 ichnographic draughtsman, and priding himself on his know- 

 ledge of Euclid. In this garden we found the Hamburg 

 parsley of an extraordinary size, and were informed that 

 seeds of it, grown there, were sent by the Nuremburg 

 seedsman, M. Falcke, to various parts of Europe, including 

 England. We saw roots of it two inches in diameter and 

 three feet long. We also saw large quantities of marsh- 

 mallow roots, which are cultivated round Nuremburg by the 

 acre, for the apothecaries and the paper-makers. Stramonium 

 is also cultivated here for the apothecaries ; and pine-apples 

 for the master's own table, and for sale, whenever an oppor- 

 tunity is offered. This garden presents a singular combin- 

 ation of objects for profit, and arrangements for display ; and 

 it is difficult to conceive how it can attain both ends ; but the 

 satisfaction may be in the idea of attempting to attain them. 

 The garden of M. Campe, the principal bookseller of Nu- 

 remburg, is highly kept, and contains a good collection of 

 green-house plants. Almost all the principal citizens of 

 Nuremburg have country houses and gardens in the neigh- 

 bourhood ; and such as cannot afford to have country houses 

 have generally small pieces of ground, in which they cultivate 

 flowers and vegetables in the mornings and evenings, in the 

 same manner as is done by the inhabitants of Birmingham, 

 and of many of the other manufacturing towns in England. 

 These little gardens are generally situated in the interior of 

 the numerous large market and seed gardens with which Nu- 

 remburg is for miles surrounded. The ramparts, ditch, and 

 other parts of the fortification, which enclose the city, are not 

 levelled down, as at Frankfort; but they are laid out in groups 

 and thickets of flowers and shrubs, with sanded walks, and 

 kept in very high order at the expense of the town. 



The public gardens of Bavaria are numerous and ex- 

 tensive. The English garden, at Munich {Jig- 107-)? is 

 unquestionably the finest thing of the kind in Germany. 

 It contains about 500 acres, and was laid out, in 1789, 

 under the direction of Count Rumford, of whom it con- 

 tains a handsome monument. The plan was made by Louis 

 Sckell, to whom also a monument is erected in this garden.
