LANDSCAPE GARDENING. 
Root-grafting is often practised, and is,, or may be, of great service 
to the propagator of choice exotics, for which proper stocks cannot be 
had. A small twig of the head, placed on a spare root of the same, 
may raise another plant, which cannot be done, perhaps, by any other 
mode of propagation. 
To show how necessary it is to be acquainted with the most suitable 
stocks for working fruit-trees on, we subjoin a list of the proper stocks 
for the finer varieties of peaches, viz.: — 
Early Anne, Purple Alberge, White Magdalen, Millet’s Mignon, 
Late Admirable, Incomparable, Scarlet Admirable, Smith’s Early 
Newington, Red Magdalen, Montauban, Noblesse, Early Admirable, 
Old Newington, Old Royal George, Rambouillet, and Catherine, are 
all sorts which take and grow best on the Muscle Plum; and the 
following do best on the Bromplon Stock, viz.: — 
Avant Rouge, Pourpre Hative, Belle Bauce, Early Galland, Belle 
Chevereuse, French Mignon, Grim wood’s Royal George, Kensington, 
Double Montagne, Superb Royal, Barrington, Bourdine, Bellegard, 
Chancellor, Late Purple, and the Titon de Venus. 
Many other kinds of fine plums, pears, apples, &c., require peculiar 
stocks, to which we shall have occasion to revert at some future 
opportunity.

LETTER SIXTEEN. 
Dear Sir, —As my stay at Fairfax Hall is to be prolonged for 
another week, I have resolved to close our correspondence with a few 
general remarks on the different styles and leading character of the 
places and scenes which I have visited, and which I have in my pre¬ 
vious letters given some account. 
You will have observed from my feeble description that the place at 
which I am residing, is one of unmixed beauty; I mean, such a com¬ 
position of scenery as is considered by painters and connoisseurs of 
landscape as one of simple beauty , as distinguished from other scenery 
denominated picturesque or sublime. 
Here the rich, though bland, character of the principal building, the 
harmonious undulations of the general surface, the softly varied effect 
of the woods, the smooth and verdant turf, the mild reflections from 
the placid lake, all impress the idea of unruffled repose ; while at the
