Rustic Adornments. 
The garden wall is not included in the above estimate. A fair rate for 
ordinary brick walls is one shilling per cubic foot, or twenty-seven shillings 
per cubic yard, measuring from the bottom of the foundation to the top of 
the wall. The excavation at ninepence per cubic yard. 
Many more designs might be given, but space forbids. The three 
described are, however, fairly typical ones, and with slight modifications 
will meet the requirements of many anxious to lay out their gardens 
to the best advantage. The more important adjuncts in the shape of 
rockeries, ferneries, ponds, and summer-houses are dealt with more fully 
further on. 
This chapter would be incomplete did it not include selections of the trees 
and shrubs best adapted for the embellishment of the garden. The following
