PART V. CULINARY GARDENING. 301 



are numerous, and of every degree of elegance, from the bower 

 of honeysuckle, hops, or vines, twined upon bent poles, to the 

 Grecian porch or temple of the finest masonry. Great caution 

 is requisite, however, in admitting ornamental buildings into a 

 kitchen garden. Even in them, as in every thing else in the 

 garden, use should be the prevailing idea. But use and beauty 

 go hand in hand, and the most vulgar objects may be dignified 

 by the judicious introduction of elegance. A kitchen garden, 

 though unmixed with productions purely ornamental, is still a 

 pleasing scene, because full of utility and animation, and always 

 varying both from the practice of cultivation and the seasons. 

 It is, therefore, very generally resorted to at most times of 

 the year, and particularly early in spring. In our variable 

 climate, whenever walks are frequently used at that season, 

 there should be covered seats, and these seats should corre- 

 spond with that whole of which they are conspicuous parts.
