of a garden. _ Several of the compartments have been
used for the growth of annual flowering plants,
serving to ornament the grounds when in bloom,
but of no other value, and, of course, requiring
an annual planting. _ It is recommended
that some of these plats be filled with cuttings
of Foreign and Native Grape Vines. - prunings
of the proper varieties, sufficient for from 5. to 10,000
cuttings might at once be collected, and
prepared for planting in the Spring as soon as the
season will permit. _ In from two to three years
these plants will be large enough for removal,
and the present marketable value of such is
in considerable quantities 25 cents each._

Other of the plats might be filled with cuttings
of Scotch Goosberries, and the large growing
kinds of Red and White Dutch Currants. _
the outlay and the expence of culture for these,
the plats being already prepared for their reception,
would be comparatively trifling, and the certainty
of the identity of the sorts, grown in the garden

Thank you - these corrections look great. At first I was sure it was "plots" because that's what we have at Mount Auburn but this page reads quite clearly: "plats."
