circular, instead of oval, and a little larger than c, they would have formed beau- 

 tiful connecting links between the larger circular beds (i) and the smaller (c). 



Much of the eiFect of every flower-garden depends on the manner in which 

 it is connected with the surrounding scenery. From the description of Baron 

 Hiigel's residence, already referred to, we are not able to form an opinion on 

 this subject. It is said to be a garden within a garden, and to have become 

 the model garden of Austria. If the last is the case, we can only say that we 

 are sorry to hear of the diffusion of so much bad taste. We have no doubt, 

 from the intellectual activity of the Austrian head gardeners, and especially 

 such men as M. Charles Ranch, this design will be the means of leading to 

 something better. Whoever contrived the design has had little or no artistical 

 knowledge, otherwise he would have given artistical shapes to the beds m, n, o, 

 p ; and he has not had a proper conception of what the shapes adapted for a 

 flower-garden ought to be, otherwise he would have had no beds that were not 

 of comparatively simple forms, with no acute angles, whatever might be his 

 talents for designing forms of intricacy.

A very pretty hardy herbaceous plant, the seeds of which were sent by Dr. 

 Royle from Cashmere. The flowers are of a golden yellow, and spread open 

 like those of an anemone, instead of having the globe-like appearance of the 

 common Trollius europse^us. The plant was first mentioned in the Miscellany 

 to the Bot. Reg. for 1842. {Bot. Reg., June, 1843.)

This very handsome species of hellebore is a native of the Bitiiynian 

 Olympus, whence it was sent to the Horticultural Society by Mr. Sandison, 

 Her Majesty's consul at Brusa. It has very handsome palmate leaves, and 

 pale green flowers, which are white at the tips of the sepals. It is quite 

 hardy, but it should be grown in peat soil, in a moist situation. {Bot. Reg., 

 Oct. 1842.)
