GENERAL FORMATION, &c, OF GARDENS. 



Fig. 29 shows the principle in detail. 1 is 

 an iron bar 4 inches by 3, placed in form of 

 a lintel, and extending rather more than 

 half the width of the door into the hollow 

 of the wall ; upon this bar the wheels 2 2 



(attached to the side rails of the door by 

 an iron bar on each side) are made to 

 run, the whole weight of the door being 

 suspended by them. Half the door is 

 run back, when open, within the wall at 



Fig. 29. 



both sides, guided by the iron rail, 5, se- 

 cured to the stone sill ; and the door 

 frame is tied into the wall at top and bot- 

 tom by the iron holdfasts 6 6. The sec- 

 tion, 3, in the right-hand corner of the 

 fig. shows how the suspension wheels are 

 attached to the side rails of the door, 

 and the plan of the piers is shown at 

 the bottom of the figure. Tn order to 

 break the force of the wind from sweep- 

 ing along the surface of the walls, when 

 blowing in certain directions, projecting 

 wings are carried from the ends and cor- 

 ners of the walls to the full extent of the 

 border, and these are of a corresponding- 

 height with the walls. 



No fruit trees are intended to be 

 planted within the gardens, excepting 

 those on the walls. The front slip and 

 two end ones, as far as where the entrance 

 and the corresponding walk on the east 

 side intersect them, are to be devoted to 

 this purpose; and all the apples and 

 pears, plums and cherries, are to be dwarf 

 standards, in six rows, 11 feet apart in 

 the line, and the same with eleven rows 

 of gooseberries and currants of sorts, 6 

 feet asunder. The ground between the 

 trees is not intended to be cropped. 



A plan of this part of the garden is made 

 out upon a large scale, and kept in the 

 garden office — each tree being named on
