REMARKS 
ON 
THE GENERAL PLAN. 
To accomplish the great object of a perpetual garden, it will be neces- 
sary to provide for a regular succession of plants ; and the means of 
removing and transplanting. It will also require certain space for various 
other uses;' yet as the present area cannot be increased, we can only 
obtain such useful space by contracting the limits of that which is 
merely ornamental. The parts so intended to be thrown out are dis- 
tinguished by a pale wash of purple, and the ornamental limits by a red 
line of corridors, & c. This boundary is supposed to be disguised by 
various expedients; where the aspect will admit any sunshine (although 
not always to the south),, a conservatory, or a green-house, may be most 
advisable; because they will draw off the attention from the interior of 
the garden to the interior of the conservatory, a circumstance which 
constitutes the most interesting part of the garden in summer by its 
exotic productions, and in winter by the permanency of its vegetation; 
each of these, from the diversity of their plants, the studied contrivance 
in their arrangements, and the contrasted forms and character of their 
embellishments, will arrest the attention, and increase the imaginary 
extent of the area. 
These different stations may be connected with each other, and with 
the house, by corridors or flower passages; in some places under cover, 
in others occasionally covered with glass in winter, which in summer 
may be taken away, leaving only such standards of wood or cast iron, 
as may serve to trail climbers and creeping plants. 
Such as the stowage of frames, glasses, coals, wood, mould, garden pots, and all the unsightly appendages 
of a working garden.
