DUTCH FLOWER-GARDENING. 
When I ventured on a difference of opinion with Mr. Bea¬ 
ton, regarding the merits of the plan of the flower-garden of 
X. Y.Z., inserted in The Cottage Gardener, p. 332, vol. 3, I 
was in hopes the remarks there made would have called up 
designs from other parties, applicable to a plot of ground such 
as I guess the one of X. 3". Z. to be ; but as no one has yet 
replied to the invitation, I now, with some reluctance, send 
you a rough sketch, which though it may be exceeded in 
beauty by many others, is, I trust, an improvement on the 
Union-llag-like plan Mr. Beaton lauds so much. Now, as 
there is an endless diversity of figures in this kind of gar-
