Catalogue. New varieties are obtained 
every year from abroad, by the industry 
and perseverance of our respectable 
and excellent nurserymen, aided by the 
first noblemen and gentlemen in the king^ 
dom. 
The shrubs marked climbers are not all 
of that class, but will not rise without 
assistance. The Periwinkle cut-leaved 
Bramble and Trailing Roses, &c., plant- 
ed and hanging over natural rocks in shrub- 
beries near foot paths and walks, have a 
good effect. 
The shrubs marked American are not all 
natives of that quarter, only the most of 
them require a similar treatment to what 
are termed bog-earth plants : but our bog- 
earth is not so salutary as the American, 
therefore it should be prepared, and some- 
what fertilized, by mixing about a third of 
fine mellow vegetable soil, composed of 
rotten wood and leaf compost. The shrubs 
should be planted in a sheltered and ra- 
ther moist situation. Little groves of thriv- 
ing Rhododendrons, Ac., planted near a 
rill, or spring, perchance in extensive 
shrubberies have a very elegant and v/arm 
appearance.
