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

 Mr. T. RuTGER. Design 8., Containing nearly Seven Acres mthin 

 the Walls, and the small Garden and Slips about Three Acres and 

 Three Quarters. 



The plan No. 8. {Jig. 13.) gives the entrance from the north, 

 which, in some cases, may be unavoidable, however objection- 

 able it may be as a general rule to follow. The object of the 

 small entrance garden is to keep from view the back part of the 

 forcing-houses and frames, and for an entrance to be effected 

 only into the departments fronting the glass of each. I have 

 suggested a flower-garden {fog. H'.) as appropriate for such an 

 entrance, in order to make it the more entertaining ; but a fruit- 

 garden may be substituted, if better approved of. If the flower- 

 garden should be adopted, entrances for a cart may be gained 

 through the forcing department and the frame ground, by 

 making the walks wide enough to join the central walk in the 

 garden. However, it is intended that it shall not be really 

 necessary to enter tliis garden from the north. The entrance 

 may be from the south, by omitting the lodging-room for the 

 second under-gardener; and, in this case, the forcing and frame 

 departments may be copied from plan No. 7., or they may be 

 left as they are in the present plan. The culinary departments 

 of this garden comprise within the walls nearly seven acres ; the 

 small garden, nearly three quarters of an acre; and the slips, 

 including the fruit-garden or orchard, nearly three acres more. 

 1 have annexed a plan for the flower-garden for approval, the 

 same as in plan No. 7., the back border of which is intended for 

 American plants. The side borders are narrow, in order to 

 have as much wall as possible for choice creepers. 



Having thus gone through my proposed series of plans as far 

 as I think necessary, from which, by modifying, I conceive, a 

 garden may be laid out to any extent, and have all the con- 

 veniences necessary according to its size, I shall now lay down 

 my compasses and scales for the present. I had purposed to 

 give a plan with the forcing and frame departments at the south 

 entrance of the garden ; but, upon second consideration, I do 

 not see the utility of it, as sufficient ideas may be drawn from 

 the plans already given, for the construction of such a garden, if
