7, A basket corresponding with that at 3, in which Calceolaria angustifolia, yellow, occupies the whole space, with the exception of a plant of Maurandya Barclayana, blue, which is planted in the centre of the group of calceolarias, and trained over a red and wires in the centre, as shown in fig. 144. This basket is shown in the right-hand corner of fig. 144.

8, Rosarium, which is planted with summer and autumn-flowering roses. Those the flowering of which is of short duration may, in some cases, have it prolonged, by leading several of the shoots their whole length, and pegging them down. When thus treated, the part next the root will grow luxuriantly, and consequently be late before it cones into flower; while the extreme end, becoming comparatively stunted, will come sooner into blossom. In the following list, the first-named plant in each bed comes into flower in May and June, and the other plant or plants, in succession, in June. July, and August. There is an equal number of plants of both the early and late flowering kinds in each bed; and, as the latter come into flower before the former have done flowering, there is a constant display from May to September, which is the whole period that the family reside at, or visit, the residence. When the first set of plants begin to go out of flower, they are cleared away to make room for the second set, which are encouraged by stirring the soil and watering; and any blanks that may occur are filled up from the reserve garden.

Most of the plants which come first into flower are annuals or bulbs, sown or planted in the autumn: the others are mostly half-hardy species, such as verbenas, petunias, lobelias, etc.; and they are preserved through the winter in pits.
