ENGLAND possesses many flower gardens of extensive and elaborate' designs, on the grounds of her lords and royalty, and some of them evince artistic skill and superior arrangement. The accompanying plan is taken from an English design, by Messrs. Hovey & Co., of Boston. It represents a garden 162 feet in length, and 72 feet in width. The walks are of gravel, and the beds are all edged with box. Bedding plants or annuals may be used in planting; or, if the amateur desires a mixture of the two, the following will be an appropriate list; the best bedding plants being Scarlet Geraniums and Verbenas:
