 in the other, it is a harmonious combination of artificial forms.

Art. VI. A Series of Designs for laying out Kitchen-Gardens. By- 

 Mr. T. RuTGER. Design 7., Containing about Four Acres tvithin 

 the Walls, One Acre and Three Quarters in the Slips, One Acre of 

 Floxuer- Garden, and Two Acres of Fruit -Garden and Orchard ; in 

 all, Eight Acres and Three Quarters. 



The plan annexed (j%. 4.) presents a flower-garden at the 

 entrance, with a conservatory and green-houses, and a small 

 pond in the centre. From the flower-garden you enter at two 

 points into the fruit-garden, or orchard, which has a pond in the 

 centre for store fish. More room for small fruit may be ob- 

 tained, if wanted, by forming a fruit border round the garden 

 inside the walk. The culinary department within the walls com- 

 prises about four acres, and the slips about an acre and three 

 quarters more. The flower-garden contains rather more than 

 an acre, and the fruit-garden and orchard about two acres. Both 

 the flower-garden and fruit-garden may be dispensed with, if not 

 wanted ; and the garden may still be made complete, by con- 

 tinuing the slips round at the south end ; and more entrances 

 can be had, if wanted, through the side slips, at the most con- 

 venient points. The ranges of forcing-houses are left for arrange- 

 ment as in fig. 95. X. 538. 



I have added a working-plan for the flower-garden {fg. 5.) ;
