Choice Ofa House. *
a small suburban _garden , is to pre * serve throughout the winter , and to bring forward in spring , pelargoniums , _fuchsias , salvias , calceolarias , verbenas , and other fine
exotic flowers , and also half-hardy and tender annuals , for turning out into the flower-garden , or into the miscellaneous border , in the beginning of summer . We are , how * ever , going too much into detail ; we shall therefore only further
allude to the enjoyment which can be had in every suburban house and even town house , without the aid of a green-house or a pit , by keeping plants through the winter
_| ( n a garret always the warmest _^ and , when furnished with windows , much the lightest , part of a house ) , immediately under a skylight , or other window ; or by keeping * them near a window in the ordinary
rooms . " These are a few of th _| absolute _enjpyinents to be derived from & suburban house and garden '; and ¦ we shall next notice another , which
flows from the same source , but which may be called relative or _incidental . The opportunity which a garden affords to its possessor erf acquiring- a scientific and practical

knowledge of plants , is a source of great interest , not only in his own _gardens but " wherever eke plants may come in his way ; whether in a wild state , in gardens , exposed for sale in markets , or delineated and described in books . Another
source of incidental enjoyment is that which will arise from the _acquirement of some knowledge of gardening , and of rural architecture as an art of design and taste . As it forms a part of our plan to assist our readers in the choice
of a suburban house and garden , or in the building , laying out and planting of these , when he prefers , or is obliged to- undertake the forming of them himself ; so we trust we shall , in some degree , render him a man of
taste , and , consequently , a critic , both in landscape-gardening and -rural architecture . How great a source of enjoyment this is , and how great an interest it enables its pos _*»
-sessor to take in suburban scenery , in landscape , and in architecture , generally : or in short , wherever he sees a house or a tree ; those only ton know who have gone through _* he necessary preparation . "

nature clearly and boldl y in all its synthetical relations ; he lays hold of the abstract principles of human action , and shows how they may converge to that high state of moral and intellectual freedom , which can alone elevate the mind
above the sphere of all political degradation . His style is vigorous yet graceful ; imaginative , yet imbued with a persuasive power
