Round Garden .

be to have a certain number of beds laid out all 
round tbe edge ; when there are to be five or six 
separate gardens, we may make five or six beds 
only then it is extremely likely that the gardeners 
will have to be very kind in helping one another, 
and if some of the younger florists help the elders 
in things that they can do, it is only fair that they 
should be helped in turn to keep their gardens 
nice, and not to disgrace the good condition of the 
general plot. 
When people want to have something between 
each bed, they may have an arbour opposite to the 
gate, if the gate is itself arched over ; or they may 
have poles or arches between each pair of beds, 
which look exceedingly pretty for climbing plants 
to grow on. And for the centre, they may have 
either a large round bed of flowers, or a wire en- 
closure for keeping any pets, or a rustic arbour, for 
which I will hereafter describe a plan that I have 
seen look charming. There are plenty of things I 
am sure, to settle, in the mere shapes of the flower- 
beds, and if we get some pieces of coloured paper 
and cut them out in shapes, we can lay them on 
green paper and see how they will look. 
It is extremely puzzling at first to manage this, 
but you cannot think how amusing it is at last,
