The grass garden.—the natural order Graminese form a very interesting garden, but must, at the same time, be considered as pertaining more to botanical science than to garden display. They, however, claim our attention as being so intimately connected with the useful arts and the food of man. Each species should be grown in a flower-pot in proportion to its size, or planted in patches divided from each other by brickwork 9 or more inches square, or by enclosing them with slate or stone pavement, to prevent intermix- ture by their roots. As most grasses seed abundantly, it will be necessary, at the season the seeds are beginning to ripen, to cut off the flower-stalk, to prevent in- termixture by that means. The hardy heath gar- den.— A collection of hardy Ericese forms of itself a very interesting detached garden at all seasons of the year. The same necessity does not occur here of enclosing within a proper bound- ary of trees or shrubs as in the case of the rosarium, for the heaths are at all times suffi- ciently ornamental in themselves to claim a place, and that a promi- nent one too, on the lawn, in the gardenesque style of grounds. The most perfect specimen of such a garden we have seen, and it is perhaps the best example in Eu- rope, is that at Woburn Abbey. It occupies an irregular triangular lawn in front of the exotic heathery, and in this lawn the beds are laid out somewhat in the geometric style. " Each species or va- riety is confined to separate beds, which are all edg
