The plan, as defcribed by the plate, 
on minute inveftigation, will appear fu- 
perior to any other that can be devifed 
for elegance and fimplicity; each bulb, 
thofe of the outfide rows excepted, will 
be in the centre of a hexagon, and the 
whole at equal diftances from each other. 
The width of the furface of the bed is 
four feet, the fix rows acrofs it are eight 
inches afunder, and the two outfide 
rows are each four inches from the fides 
.. ... , ' \ 
of the bed; confequently the fpace be¬ 
tween the centre of each bulb is about 
nine inches and a quarter; each row 
contains three bulbs, and the letters R. 
W. B. denote the colour of the flower to 
be placed there, viz. Red, White, or 
Blue; under thefe three heads all Hya¬ 
cinths may be comprehended, except a 
few forts of Yellow, which may be clafled 
with the Whites.
