According to the above enumeration, there need not be a dozen duplicates in the garden; for, though there are some of the species repeated (such as the laurustinus, the Cydonia japonica, the Chinese rose, &c), different varieties of each species may be chosen. The herbaceous plants may be selected on the same principle; so that, in this small garden of not quite a quarter of an acre, nearly 800 different kinds of ornamental plants may be exhibited.

152. The herbaceous plants, both for the front and back gardens, we left to be chosen by the lady of the house; and the reader may make choice of them from the lists given at the end of this work. It is proper to observe, however, that, as the trees and shrubs in the back garden advance in growth, the room for flowering plants will be diminished. After three or four years, there will not be much space within the beds fit for bringing fibrous-rooted herbaceous plants to perfection; because, for this purpose, it is necessary that the plants should have unobstructed light and free air on every side. As the trees and shrubs advance, therefore, they must either be thinned out to make room for the fibrous-rooted herbaceous plants, or a smaller number of these must be grown. The same remark would apply to the roses planted in the beds; because, to flower well, and look well, they require as much light and air as the others; and, like them, as has been before observed, they require to be taken up every second or third year, in autumn or spring, and parted, pruned, and replanted in fresh soil. Supposing the trees and shrubs, exclusive of the roses, not to be thinned out, or reduced by pruning, then, in five or six years, both roses and fibrous-rooted herbaceous plants would be choked.

The best mode of proceeding in that case would be, to cease to dig the beds, and reduce or rake them to the same level as the turf, and to sow any spots pot covered with the branches of the shrubs with grata. This would look remarkably well, both in a picturesque and in a botanical point of view, for another five or six years, when it would become absolutely necessary to root up some of the larger trees, and to prune in, or cut over near the ground, some of the larger shrubs. This process of keeping the beds and groups in shape, by pruning and cutting down, might be carried on for an indefinite period, as may easily be believed by observing the great duration of hedges which are continually cut, and of coppice-wood. In order that the garden may always look well, an equal amount of pruning, thinning, and cutting over, should, as nearly as possible, be performed every year; and regard should be had, in doing this, always to preserve the same proportion between trees and shrubs, and between plants both of kinds which are evergreens and those which are deciduous; unless, indeed, it is thought that an improvement might be made by altering these proportions.
