Flower garden at Dropmore

To illustrate the mode of arranging the beds and disposing the plants in an English garden, we copy the plan and description of the elegant flower-garden, on the lawn at Dropmore, the beds being cut out of the smooth turf. "The flower-garden at Dropmore is shown in Fig. 77. In this the plants are so disposed, that when in flower the corresponding forms of the figure contain corresponding colored flowers. The following is a list of the plants which occupy this figure during summer, with the order in which they are disposed: and a corresponding enumeration of the bulbs and other plants which occupy the beds during winter and spring."
