of which is narrower than five feet, beyond which is a border of low 
American shrubs. The central mass, ten feet in diameter ( Jig. 47), contains 
a collection of China roses, including R. semperflorens (the common China), 
R. sanguined (the dark-crimson China), and all the varieties of R. Noiset- 
tiana (the Noisette); the interstices being planted with a mixed collection 
of bulbs. There is a standard crimson Noisette rose in the centre, and 
the marginal line is of mixed hyacinths. 
The other beds are planted with herbaceous plants, bulbs, and showy 
greenhouse plants, in the following manner :—
