16 i WorJci7ig Pla7l for laying out 



trees and shrubs may be employed, so as greatly to enhance the 

 beauty and interest of the scenery. 



The situation is flat, though not without some prospect; the 

 walls and walks, the house, and all the buildings, were fixed 

 before our advice was asked, and are to be considered as unalter- 

 able ; some fruit trees had been planted, which were not to be 

 removed; and also some asparagus beds, sea-kale beds, and 

 gooseberry bushes. All that was left for the artist to do, there- 

 fore, was to arrange the beds on the plot of lawn or turf which 

 formed the principal part of the area of the garden ; and to 

 indicate the kinds of trees and shrubs to be planted in these 

 beds and on the side borders. The sorts of flowers might also 

 have been indicated ; but these were left to the taste of the ladies 

 of the family. We shall, however, give a list in our next 

 Number, with directions for choosing from it. 



Before giving a list of the trees and shrubs recommended to 

 be planted, with the precise situation for each plant, we shall 

 shortly describe the plan of the garden. {Jig. \9.) 

 a, The door of the house, which opens on a landing covered by 



a trellised porch ; from which a flight of seven steps descends 



to the garden walk. b, Privy. c. Summer-house. 



d. Pit for cucumbers, heated by dung from the stable ; thrown 

 into a vault, through a door at one end.

 g^ Door to the stable. 



h, Situation of the dining-room window, being the only window 

 of a sitting-room which looks into the garden ; and with refer-

2, Border of shrubs and flowers; the fence on this side being 

 wooden pales about 5 ft, high ; the aspect south by east. 



k, Border for rhubarb, sea-kale, chives, parsley, and other 

 annual and perennial kitchen herbs ; the fence here is a brick 

 wall 5 ft. high. I, Asparagus beds. 



»i, Two rows of gooseberries, with strawberries between. The 

 margin of the walks is, on one side, a continuation of the lawn, 

 1 ft. broad ; and, on the other, box. 



n to o, Part of the wall, on which currants may be trained. 



p^ Border of shrubs and flowers, with some trees, facing the 

 north ; the wall brick, and about 5 ft. high, covered with fruit 

 trees of different kinds; but which, from the aspect, are of 

 little use as such. Beyond the fences, on the right and left, 

 are similar gardens ; and at the extreme end there is an open 

 grass field,

 planted, and are not to be removed. 



r. Open circles, indicating the situation of trees to be planted.
