Rustic Adornments. 
pipe in this case should be carried along on the top of the bank, and be 
finely perforated on both sides, and fitted with a stop valve similar to 
the other. 
The wall situated on the east side of the garden should be fourteen 
inches thick and at least twelve feet high, for the double purpose of protect¬ 
ing the garden from the north and east winds and for fruit growing. 
Between the foot of this wall and the vegetable garden a turf walk is shown 
(see design, page 190). We have here 120 feet available for single cordon 
trees, planted two feet apart, and trained obliquely to an angle of forty-five 
degrees. 
If the boundary on the west side be a wall, nine inches thick and six 
feet high will be the dimensions for it, and this may be covered with the 
following climbing plants: Evergreen—Irish Ivy ( Hedera ca?iariense ), and 
the white-flowering Evergreen Rose ( Fllicitb perpetuti ) ; Deciduous— 
Veitch's Virginian Creeper ( Ampelopsis Veitchi ), and the Virgin's Bower 
Clematis (C. flammula) ; or, if the adjoining property will permit of it, 
a hedge of common privet, with an iron railing on the outside, may be 
planted. 
On both sides of the garden shown on page 190, which is eighty feet long 
by tw r elve feet wide, horizontal cordon fruit trees may be planted, seven on 
each side; and of course here may be grown in addition to vegetables, 
currants, gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries, &c. 
On the east side of the main path leading to the pond a border about 
fifty feet long by four feet wide, for the culture of hardy perennials, is showrn 
on page 190. This may be planted with Liliu?n auratum, L. candidwn , L. 
chalcedo?iicu?n , L. croceum , Alstromeria chilensis , A. brasiliensis , German and 
English Irises, He?nerocallis flavci, H. fulva , Helleborus niger , Trito?na uvaria , 
T. gra?idiflora , Solomon's Seal, winter aconites, Cyclamen europceum , crown 
imperials, Anemone japonica , phloxes, pyrethrums, Helianthiis multiflorus plenus, 
pentstemons, lupins, and delphiniums. 
Lastly, the front of the residence may be covered with roses, the summer¬ 
house with Clematis Jack?na?mi , and the law r n and narrow grass edgings 
laid with the best turf. In the north-east corner a tool and potting-house 
is provided for. 
It may be useful to many readers to have an estimate of the approximate 
cost of laying out a garden according to the last-named plan. The prices 
are the ordinary ones prevailing in London:—
