Biennials, however, are generally sown eai-lyin autumn in the flower-garden nursery, and transplanted either late in the same seasonor early in the following spring, to where tliey are to flower. Annuals are commonlysown in spring, where they are finally to remain. The culture of herbaceous flowers ofthe more valued sorts is exceedingly varied, and will be found under each species or classin the Flower-garden Catalogne. For the preparation of the soil and the manner of per-forming the operation, see these ai-ticles in (Chap. IV.) Planting the Chap. III. Of Forming the Shrubbery. f)130. By a slwubbery, or shrub-garden, we undei^stand a scene for the display of shrubsvalued for their beauty or fragrance, combining such trees as are considered chiefly orna-mental, and some herbaceous flowers. The form or plan of the modern shrubbery is ge-nerally a winding border, or strip of irregular width, accompanied by a walk, near towhich it commences with the herbaceous plants and lowest shrul)s, and as it falls back,the shrubs rise in gradation and terminate in the ornamental trees, also similarly gradu-ated. Sometimes a border of shrubbery accompanies the walk on both sides; at othertimes only on one side, while the other side is, in some cases, a border for culinary vege-tables sun-ounding the kitchen-garden, but most generally it is an accompanying breadthof turf, varied by occasional groups of trees and plants, or decorations, and with the bor-der, forms what is called pleasure-ground. 6131.
