Chrysanthemums adajjted to Scotland. 373 



verdant wall with piers at regular distances ; or it may be cut so as to form 

 a low open arcade. But, as to produce any of these results will require 

 the box to grow three or four years, even if it should be 4 ft. high when 

 planted, an effect may be produced the first year by planting giant ivy, and 

 training it on a frame of wirework. 



Instead of a hedge of box or of yew, a hedge of common juniper may be 

 planted, and instead of piers or pyramids clipped into shape, Swedish or Irish 

 junipers may be introduced in the hedge at regular distances, or a hedge of 

 green holly may be planted, and the standards may be of variegated holly. 



In the sunk panel a grass plot may be substituted for the central basin, and 

 Irish junipers, Irish yews, variegated yews, or cypresses, for the statues in the 

 centres of the beds k, and for the beds e. 



The paths between the beds, instead of being of grass, may be paved with 

 brick, tiles, or stone, asphalte or cement, or tliey may be formed of gravel 

 with box edgings. The centre, in the case of the walks not being of grass, 

 may either be of grass with a gravel or paved walk surrounding it, or it may 

 be an open arcade of trelliswork covered with roses,- and there may be a 

 fountain in the centre of this bower of roses, as in the Duchess of Bedford's 

 garden at Camden Hill. 



In all sunk gardens of this kind, and indeed in all flower-gardens whatever, 

 great care ought to be taken not to surround them with walls, hedges, shrub- 

 bery, arcades of roses or other climbers, or in short any boundary which will 

 exclude the free circulation of air, and the dii'ect rays of the sun, for at least 

 the greater part of every day throughout the growing season. 



For the sake of those who would prefer covering the beds with summer 

 flowers so as to exhibit one mass of colour produced by one plant in eacli bed, 

 we have numbered one half of the beds, which may be planted as below; the 

 other half being a duplicate of this half
