By either mode regard must be had to place the plants in gradation according to their size, from the front to the back, or from the lowest to the highest part of the stage, as well to give them every possible advantage as to light, as to present the greatest surface to the eye of the spectator. It is not desirable, however, to dress them so regularly, as that the general slope of verdure shall appear as if shorn or mown, for that, both deprives the sides of the plants of a considerable portion of light and air, and the eye of variety of form, and light and shade ; it will have a much better effect if somewhat irregular, and if here and there a distinguished individual appear above the rest as a standard. 6207. In arranging by method or botanicalhj, either the Linnaean or Jussieuean classifi- cation may be adopted ; the latter is unquestionably preferable, as exhibiting a more per- fect relationship ; and it may be considered as represented by the same lines as those de- lineating the mode of grouping by colors. (Jig- 586.) Where the Linnaean method is adopted, the classes may either be grouped in irregular roundish masses; or, as the tallest trees and lowest herbs are often placed in the same class, it will answer better to dispose each class and its orders in irregular strips (Jig. 587. m. d„ t. tet. pentandria, &c), from the lowest to the highest part of the stage, by which the dwarf plants of each class may be placed in front, and the taller
