An encyclopædia of gardening; comprising An encyclopædia of gardening; comprising the theory and practice of horticulture, floriculture, arboriculture, and landscape-gardening, including all the latest improvements; a general history of gardening in all countries; and a statistical view of its present state, with suggestions for its future progress, in the British Isles encyclopdiaofg00loud Year: 1827 Book IV. PRIVATE GARDENS, OR RESIDENCES. 1023 still in due subordination to the man- sion. Instead of deer, sheep may graze the park on the garden-front, separated from the house by an archi- tectural barrier, or in some situations, with a platform of gravel, and walks and knots of flowers. A glacis of turf, with a light fence below the slope, will be sufficient protection from sheep or cattle, and not impede the view of the lawn from the win- dows. The entrance-front may be approached through grass fields, not separated with common hedges, but with picturesque fences (Jig. 721.) in the modern, and double hedges and slips of planting in the geometric style. All or any part of the other constituent parts of a mansion and demesne residence, such as hot-houses, gardens, orchards, pleasure-grounds, &c. may or may not be added, ac- ^jffi cording to its extent, and the parti- cular taste of the proprietor. 7280.

It differs from a villa farm in having no park. A dry hilly soil is best
