CONSERVATIVE WALL AT CHATSWORTH. 
into the catalogue. They however should not be discarded, as they are found most 
useful decoratives, and are planted at Chats worth in the spring to fill up any 
vacancies or naked portions at the bottom of the wall, and are so arranged as to 
produce a good contrast when in flower with the permanent plants ; and thus a 
blaze of flowers is kept up from the top to the bottom of the wall during the whole 
summer and autumn. These latter consist of Salvias, Tropaeolums, Petunias, 
Maurandya, &c. 
The notes attached to some of the plants enumerated in the list will show how 
luxuriantly they grow, and what magnificent specimens they have attained to ; 
from which circumstance it may be inferred how truly beautiful they are when in 
flower, the blossoms being produced in many instances in the most gorgeous pro- 
fusion, literally hiding the foliage and stems of the plants which bear them. 
A list of plants is added, which are intended to be planted against this wall, 
and which it is presumed should share a place in the most select arrangement of 
this kind ; most of them being species of sterling worth and beauty, and therefore 
we recommend a trial of them by all who possess the luxury of a Conservative 
Walk
