TPIE COTTAGE CtAEDENEH. 
October 2. 
sai’y to distinguish tbein as such to avoid the confusion | 
wliich is justly complained of by Mr. Fish, at page 72 of 
this volume ; peltatuin being his Cup Ivy-loaf in lliat 
article, both variegated aiad plain leaf. 2f), Lojjhospermum 
speotciMlis ; 27, t’achsid Actceon ; 28, PlumhiKjo capensis, 
a fine wall-plant; 2iJ, Heliotrope ; 2‘.),Clianthu!fpiiniceus, 
one of our very best wall plants; 80, Lopliospennmn 
Hendersonu,\.he best of the varieties; this covers a great 
space above the dwarf plants; SI, A aid a grandis, one 
of the best of the small globular-flowering and small- 
leaf section ; 82, Fuehsia Actceon ; 8)8, Cohcea scandcns, 
—at last — the fastest growing climber in the catalogue; 
34, Jasminwn nudijiorum, pei'fectl}^ hardy, but slionkl 
be under glass in winter, to make the best of it while 
in bloom; 85, Gonipactnm Oeraniinn; 80, Tea- 
Rose, Madeline Russell, a large white flower, w'ith 
a blush centre; 87, Maurandya Barclayana; 88, 
Magnolia fnscata, one of the sweetest flowers in the 
garden, and a real back wall of a greenhouse plant; 89, 
Fuchsia Actceon, a bold hunter, by-the-by, who bad the 
impudence to surprise Diana one day wdiile she was 
bathing; but the goddess turned him into a stag, and i 
his hounds ran after liim, yelping like furies. 1 once 
knew all their names, but no matter, tliey devoured him 
at last, and it “served him right.” S^.), Heliotrope; -tO, 
Clematis Hendersonii, a beautiful single blue, and quite 
hardy; 41, Aristolochia sijAio, also quite hardy, and wfiich 
ripened seeds in Surbiton tliis season ; strange there 
should be two hardy climbers of such opposite characters 
within four feet of each other; all the plants are not 
much more than four feet apart; Pi, Maurandya Bar¬ 
clayana; PS, Jasminum nudijiorum; 44, double Nastur¬ 
tium, as we say; 45, Acaciapuhescens, whicb grows as fust 
and as large as a moderate Weeping Willow, and much 
after the same fashion after a wddle; 46, a seedling from 
the Sliruhland Scarlet Geranium; 47, Calampelis scahra 
again; 48, Azalea indica, the variety called lateritea 
purpurea; 49, Compactum Geranium; 50, another Tea 
Rose called Charles Reyhatid, a large blush llow’er ; 51, 
Jasmimim nudijiorum; 52, Datura arhorea, alias Brug- 
mansia arhorea, which grows to a medium-sized tree; 
53, Maurandya rosea elegans, a lovely climber, when well 
done, as it is here ; 54, Rosa Jlardii, a Tea Rose, not in 
bloom, and J do not know it to tell what the bloom is 
like; 55, the true Shrubland Scarlet Geranium, here . 
called Smith’s Emperor. Mr. Smith w'as a tenant of 
Sir W. Middleton’s, and had his first cuttings of this 
Geranium from Shrubland Park, and changed the first 
and proper name. 56, Wistaria, or Glycine sinensis; 57, 
Lophospermumspectahilis; 58, Camellia Donchldri, which 
is there spelled Donhelarii, though it is not the right way ; 
58, Clematis Jlamula, the sweet-scented, and one of the 
hardiest of them; 59, White Maurandya; GO, Rose 
Fahier, a little bedding Rose of the dwarf China class, 
and very gay for popping out here and there, and for 
filling up blank spaces under and between climbers.

ARRANGEMENT. 
On the east side of the lobby, most of that part 
beyond the entrance is marked pnnnel, so I ap])rebend 
tliat it is wood. Now, if there was a large window there

the whole arrangement would look more natural than if I
