JOUKNAL OP HORTICULTtTRE AND COTTAGE GABDENEE, 



March 14, 166S. 



our High Street by the late Mr. Veitch, has also come into 

 the possession of Mr. Kobert Veitch, and will be carried on 

 by him in connection with the Queen Street Nur.sery. 



I trust " D., Deal," wUl not think I have stepped out of 

 my way in thus endeavouring to remove a misapprehension 



of the actual facts of the case as regards Mr. Veitch of this 

 city. He will see that the unintentional error into which 

 he has been led, will, if it be allowed to remain unnoticed, 

 be likely to injuriously aifect the interests of a worthy man^ 

 and the esteemed friend of — S. BEViN Fox. Exeter. 



FLOWEE-GARDEN PLAN. 



A, HoDBC. B, Flower-border, c, Flagged Path, r, Grate. 



The border (b) in front of the house in the above plan [ nert the house; then Lady Tlymouth' Geranium ; and Lo- 

 is to be planted in three lines — Trentham Rose Geranium | belia Paxtoniana next to the path. 



The beds are proposed to be planted as follows : — 

 1. Purple King Verbena, Ceraetium outside. 

 2! Yellow O.ilc'ol«ria.

[Tour garden is very nicely drawn (thoujjh by a mis- 

 take of the engraver some of the beds are not so exactly 

 balanced as they ought to be), and no doubt will look 

 very pretty planted as you describe. Ah you have done the 

 most of it on the cross-planting system we would continue 

 this throughout. Thus, instead of making G and 7 the 

 same and 10 and 11 the same, we would cross with 10, 

 say Verbenas, and 7 and 11 Symmetry Geranium, edged 



I with Alma. We would be content with Lobelia Paxtoniana 

 round Golden Chain in 14. and then the Arabia will do 



i nicely round Christine in IG. Wo presume the ribbon- 

 border is placed close to the liouse, with the flagged path- 

 way in front of it. This can only be advocated in small 

 places, as borders so placed always conjure up ideas of damp 

 and mouldiness in the walls. Sucli borders, and pots ana 

 boxes there also, remind one of a town garden.]
