English Garden at Munich. 



3S9 



The surface is flat; but 

 a river, always containing 

 abundance of water, flows 

 through it ; and from this 

 a lake of considerable size 

 has been formed, and 

 some cascades. The roads 

 extend four miles. The 

 trees are planted in masses 

 and groups, one sort al- 

 ways prevailing in one 

 place ; and the only fault 

 they have (as has been 

 noticed by a talented 

 writer, Vol. VI. p. 408.) 

 is, that this is done in ra- 

 ther too formal a manner. 

 When passing through 

 this garden, we could not 

 help observing the effect 

 of the different kinds of 

 trees, even when stripped 

 of their leaves. Cornus 

 sanguinea, a very con- 

 spicuous red ; Lonicera 

 Xylosteum, white; *Salix 

 vitellina, yellow ; birch 

 stems, white ; larch, yel- 

 low ; 5'pirae^a salicifolia, 

 dwarf and brown; i/ip- 

 pophae rhamniiides, very 

 white ; &c. The details of 

 the working plan of this 

 extensive garden may, 

 perhaps, be given in a 

 future Number. 



The Hof Garten, or 

 court garden, is situated 

 in Munich, in front of the 

 palace. It is not exten- 

 sive ; but it is beautifully 

 shaded by lime trees, the 

 ground underneath which 

 is covered with turf, and 

 the turf is renewed every 

 year in spring.
