The proprietor of this Glia, in 1828, was Bersted, the prime minister of tho Giand
Ui Carlsruhe. Several of the streets and squares “>-®
rows of trees. In one of them is a fine avenue of Platanus ; in ™®
several of acacia, and the trees in fi-ont of the bai-racks are ?” os of
rubicmida. In the open space in front of the palace are tiy le and quadnqilc lines of
trees of a variety of sorts ; and among these arc placed during tho summOT scasOT
some hundreds of large orange trees in tubs, covered with b o,ssoms am ^ J o

finest circumstances in Carlsmlio is, that in two directions the
up to the gates of tho city. These gates arc very handsome ; one of them, tlio Dmlachcr

is by tlie celebrated Wcinbrcnncr, who may be designated the Nicholson of Gennany.
The public English garden at Carlsmhc contains about sixty acres of a perfectly fiat
surface, and a piece of wa,lcr. I t is surrounded and crossed in all directions by winding
roads, which give it that degree of sameness, as a natural gai'den, which tlie Bois de
Boulogne, near Paris, has as an artificial one. The conspicuous defect in the plantations,
at Carlsruhe, is the want of evergreens. This want, however, does not result from any
ignorance, on the part of the planters of trees, of the different species of ei'crgreens that
arc to be purchased in European nurseries, but from the groat severity of the winters,
which destroys, if not every year, at least every thi'ce or four yeai's, when a winter is
unusually severe, many of the species. I t is this want of evergreens that gives such a
cold and bare appearance to continental gardens during winter. In the summer the
heat of tho sun and clearness of the air give such a brilliancy to the colom-s of the
flowers as to render the public gai'dens on the Continent far superior to those of En g land
; but in winter the case is the rcvci'sc, and the gai'dens of England have au immense
superiority.
