On colour, and on the necessity for a general diffusion of taste among all classes . Fig. A, House. B, Slope. C, Geometrical garden on the slope, when lowered.

CHARACTER OP THE BEDS. 369 well for the less formal garden, or for one of humble pre-tensions, they are by no means suited for the dressed geo-metrical one. In this last turf walks are very troublesometo keep trimmed; the grass, unless constantly attended to,is deficient in neatness, and when cut is apt to litter thebeds; in wet weather they are too damp to be used as walks ;they require to be made of a breadth quite out of proportionwith the beds; they are less in keeping with the character ofthe house or the terraces and gravel walks about it; and theyfail to give an expression of finish and importance. Theybelong to another kind of garden.
