5070. T he select Jiow er-g ard en, being limited to one kind, or class, of plants, is comparatively
simple, as far as respects planting. It may be devoted to florists’ flowers, as
the hyacinth, tulip, pink, auricula, &c. ; to select flowers, as the dahlia, pæony, chrysanthemum,
&c. ; to annuals, hardy, half hardy, and tender ; to American or bog-earth
shrabs and plants ; to any one natural order, as the bulbous-rooted tribe ; or to si>ring,
summer, or autumn flowers, &c.
5071. F lorists' J lowe rs and select J lowers are planted in or compartments of carefully prepared
soil, and th e arrangement in th e beds is generally conducted on the ' ............--->
shades of colour as much as possible. As th e plants, being of the

either be arranged according to their colours and heights jointly ; or, as there are numerous varieties of
some sorts, as of larkspur, lupine, &c., each species with its varieties may be sown in groups or beds, by
themselves ; and the general principle by which to determine the sorts which are to join each other, may
either be colour and height, or natural character.
5073. A p a r te r r e o f ora n g e trees may be arranged, as shown in .^ s . 867. and 868., both taken from the
gardens a t Heidelberg. A garden of this kind would be very suitable to a castellated mansion ; but
would not suit a villa in th e Italian style, or a thatched cottage. This garden might easily be turned
into a rosarium by planting standard rose trees where th ere are orange trees, and filling up th e beds
with dwarf roses, pegged down.
