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 1028 PRACTICE OF GARDENING. Part III. and elm, should be planted in, or if possible, even near the cottager's garden ; as these are ruinous to crops • the first both by its shade and roots, and the latter by its roots, which spread rapidly to a great ex- tent, close under the surface. The oak is the tree the least injurious to gardens. 7311 Variation may be made in this extent of accommodation, by adopting a different form for the ground plan of the plot; by different inclinations of surfaces, kinds offence, sort of materials used for the roof and walls of the house, coloring of the walls, and above all, by adopting different styles of architecture. But whatever is done in this respect, no attempt at ornament or picturesque effect should be made which is at variance with comfort; —latticed windows are cold and comfortless ; chimney-flues tortured in their direction with a view to fixing the stack of chimney-tops in some particular point, occasion smoky apart- ments A variety of other deviations from common practice made to gratify the eye of the beholder, without any reference to the inhabitant, might be mentioned; but we shall only add, that whatever is most comfortable and durable will please the best in the long run. Sect. II. Public Gardens. 7312. Public gardens are either designed for recreation, instruction, or commercial pur- poses. The first include equestrian and pedestrian promenades ; the second, botanic and experimental gardens ; and the third, public nurseries, market-gardens, florists' gardens, orchards, seed-gardens, and herb-gardens.
