FLOWER GARDEN DESIGNS. 
It is at all times mortifying to a garden architect, or landscape 
gardener, to find that his design was executed so far as the 
creation of the object intended was concerned, but in the subse¬ 
quent planting or carrying out of that object it is often sadly 
marred. This is more especially the case with ornamental flower 
gardening of an intricate kind; in which the planting obliterates 
almost all traces of the figures intended to be shown—or 60 far 
distorts them, that their proper shape is lost. This misfortune 
is not wholly due to the poor gardener : for it is utterly impos¬ 
sible to plant some designs with the fashionable flowers of the 
present day without, in a great measure, obliterating the fanciful 
scrolls, acute angles, and other intricacies, which some designs 
consist of ; as no plant higher than a common Daisy can be 
planted in such places without, in some degree, concealing a 
portion of the groundwork adjoining them, when looked at in an 
oblique direction, more or less approaching to the horizontal, 
which all flower gardens are. 
I have seen the intervening Bpaces of turf running into a fan 
some six or eight feet, and yet not be more than one toot wide at 
the broadest end, and a mere point at the other. In a picture, 
such a figure may look very well; but it is utterly impossible to 
maintain the true shape of the bed when it is planted and in
