Wayside Gardens: As envisioned at present, radio signals would be continuously interchanged between trains, sent from trains to the wayside gardens, and sent from trains to a central control station. The immediate and exact location of each train would be established, and direct commands would be radioed to modify the movement of a single train or a number of trains. Continuous voice communications with both train and wayside gardens crews would be maintained.
The radio command and control system would assure constant train speed between specific check points, and it would control acceleration, deceleration, and stopping sequences.
Public Gardens and Parks.—Rome is richly endowed with open spaces and gardens. Good views of the city may be obtained in the gardens of the Pincio, Janiculum, Quirinal, and Aventine. The garden of Villa Celimontana on the Caelian is noteworthy for its wide views toward the Alban Hills. The gardens of villas include those of the Villa Borghese, Villa Doria Pamphili, Villa Sciarra, and Villa Medici. Although many other gardens with their villas have been destroyed by the growth of the city, a law of 1883 has actively promoted public gardens, so that there are now over 7,600 acres of public gardens and parks in the city, in addition to ornamental avenues.
6. Palaces and Gardens Denmark's castles form a very notable company. They mostly date from the 16th century and are almost invariably surrounded by beautiful parks and gardens. In the capital there are Rosenborg and Frederiksberg, supplemented gardenwise by the Royal Horticultural Gardens and the city's splendidly landscaped Botanical Gardens. Other castles in Zealand are Hiller0d's Frederiksborg (already mentioned), not to be confused with Frederiksfcerg, and Naestved's Gis-selfeld, while beyond the confines of Zealand at least seven leap up in the mind to be counted.
