LINNAEUS PROFESSOR AT UPSAL., 
155 
In the year 1745 he gave a description of the new garden, with all 
its dispostions and establishments, mentioning in the most grateful 
terms all those who had contributed to its restoration and embellish- 
ment *. The garden was not laid out on a very extensive scale, but 
arranged in a tasty manner. We shall here communicate a concise de- 
scription of it, given by a learned traveller, who visited Upsal in the 
year 1771. 
The academical garden of Ujnal has been arranged by Linn-£Us. 
An iron gate of excellent workmanship leads to it from the high road. 
At the top of the gate the Swedish arms, and those of Count Cyllen- 
borg, who has so zealously promoted its restoration, are displayed. 
From within a spacious yard presents itself to view; on the right 
stands the dwelling of Linnaeus, who is the dire&or of the garden, 
on the left appear some other buildings. A straight avenue leads by 
another gate to the garden, which is parted from the yard by an ele- 
gant wooden inclosure. The garden itself is laid out in a superb style. 
Its most considerable part consists of two large trails oi ground. One 
of them contains the perennial plants ; the other those from which the 
seeds are annually gathered. Each of these trails is divided into forty- 
four beds, surrounded with a low hedge and little doors. The plant- 
house is situate eastward. It is divided into the plant-hall (frigida- 
rium), which lies in the centre; into the thriving-house ( caldarium ), 
and the hot-house (tepidarium), which form the northern wing, and the 
gardner’s cot, which forms the southern wing. To the west lies the 
thriving-bank ( vaporarium ), and to the south the glass-bank ; the sun-
