6242, The garden o f the genei'ol hospital at Munich (Jig. 1010.) was laid out by M. Louis
Sckell, in 1815, and is well deserving of imitation in the case of similar buildmgs.

employed. The following are details : —

6244. The public garden at Frankfort, laid out by Zeyer of Schwezingen, between 1807 and 1811, has
been described § 369.; and an idea of the details may be obtained by inspectingj%. 1013. In order to give
the details of fig . 1 012 . with accuracy and distinctness, that figure is divided into sections by dotted
lines, marked a, a , b, c, d, e, b ,f, g, and k. M. llinz most obligingly furnished us with plans on a large
scale of each of these sections; but, from th e space which they would necessarily occupy in this work,
we have limited ourselves to giving th e sections e, b ,f, g, A, which include the Bockenheimer, St. Gallus,
and Unter Mayn gates. To give an idea of th e manner of planting, it must be observed, that masses of
broad-leaved trees were never planted together, but they were always more or less mixed with narrowleaved
trees, and that care was taken to avoid having all light or all dark coloured foliage in any of the
masses. T h e same observations apply to th e colours and forms of the herbaceous plants; and their
masses should be contrived so that the plants placed together may flower nearly a t th e same time.

at th e back, and Daphne Mezèreum fl. rù b r. in th e fro n t; Fibùrnum O'pulus at the back, and Spirre a

walnut, the poplar, th e Norway spruce, the larch, and the cedar, &c. Very fine groups for water maybe
formed of the weeping willow, Norway spruce, and Italian poplar ; also th e Fráxinus americàna with
Fopulus trèmula ; and the contrast between the majestic ash and the ever-trembling poplar is very great
1 intere sting.” ' The flower-beds, so abundant in these gardens, are principally large masses of one or
more sorts. In many places, instead of a bare plot of turf, flowers are substituted ; as, for instance,
Fesèda odoràta. Delphinium Ajàcìs, Fióla tricolor, or the diflercnt sorts of Diánthus, Déllis perénnis,
