earth is sufficiently drained, either naturally or otherwise, and 

 the surface kept open, there is no fear of suffering either from 

 drought or moisture ; and it is healthy for the animal as well 

 as the vegetable kingdom. ■

Art. VI. On Laying out and Planting the Lawn, Shrubbery, and 

 Flower-Garden. By the Conductor. 



(Continued from p. 443.) 



The design, ^g. 111., is for the distribution of a collection of herbaceous 

 plants according to the natural system. It has been carried into execution 

 in the Vice-Regal Gardens at Monza, near Milan, by Signer Giuseppe Manetti, 

 the director of these gardens. To this distinguished honour M. Manetti, 

 who has been our correspondent for many years, has been recently elevated ; 

 and the appointment appears to us to do equal honour to him and to his royal 

 master. 



The ground possesses no advantages in point of form or surface, and is 

 rather limited. If the area had been of greater extent, M. Manetti observes, 

 the genera would have been separated from each other b}' a Hne of difFerent- 

 coloured plants, such as Armeria vulgaris ; but there was no room for any 

 thing of this kind. The plants included in this collection are chiefly such 

 as are not common in Italy. The arrangement is as follows ; the spaces be- 

 tween the beds being turf, and the main walks gravel ; the whole surrounded 

 by a wall, except at the west end.
