LANDSCAPE GARDENING. 
at g, is a seat. The walk around the lawn is also a 
carriage road, affording entrance and egress from the rear 
of the grounds, for garden purposes, as well as from the 
front of the house. At h, is situated the ice-house ; d, 
hot-beds ; j, bleaching green ; i, gardener’s house, etc. In 
the rear of the latter are the stables, which are not shown 
on the plan. 
The embellished farm ( ferme ornee) is a pretty mode

of an embellished farm, treated in the picturesque style 
throughout. The various trees, under grass or tillage, are 
divided and bounded by winding roads, a , bordered by 
hedges of buckthorn, cedar, and hawthorn, instead of 
wooden fences ; the roads being wide enough to afford 
a pleasant drive or walk, so as to allow the owner or 
visitor to enjoy at the same time an agreeable circuit, and

is at b ; the dwelling at c ; the barns and farm-buildings 
at d; the kitchen garden at e; and the orchard at f. 
About the house are distributed some groups of trees, and 
here the fields, g, are kept in grass, and are either mown
