 furface of the ground about their roots, as alio to 

 ■water tlicm in dry weather until they have taken root ; 

 after which they will require no farther care, but to 

 keep them clear from weeds in fummer, and to trim 

 tliem according to the purpofe for which they are " 

 defi";n'ed. 



, In thefe beds they may remain two or three years, 

 according as they have groWn, when they fliould 

 again be removed into a nurfery, placing them in 

 rows at three feet diftance, and the plants eighteen 

 inches afunder in the rows ; obferving to do it in au- 



- fumri', as \vas" before directed, and continue to trim 

 them in the fummer feafon, according to the defign 

 for which they were intended ; and after they have 

 continued three or four years in this nurfery, they may 

 be tranfplanted where they are to remain ; always ob- 

 ferving to remove them in autumn where the ground 

 is very dry, but oh cold moift land it is better in the 

 fprin^

 TERRACES. A Terrace is a bank of earth, 



raifed on a proper elevation, fo that any perfon who 

 walks round a garden, may have a better profpeft of 

 all that lies round him -, and thefe elevations are fo 

 neccffary, that thofe gardens that have them not are 

 deficient. 



, When the Terraces are rightly fituated, they are 

 great ornaments for their regularity and opening, ef- 

 pecially when they are well made, and their afcent not 



too fteep. , ., . . . . - / 



There are feveral kinds of Terrace-walks :

2. The fide or middle Terrace,, which is commonly 

 raifed above the level of the parterre, lawn, ^&c. 



3. Thofe Terraces which encompafs a garden. ' 

 As to the breadth of fide Terraces, this is ufually de- 

 cided by its correfpondence with fome pavilion, or 

 fome little jettee or building •, but rnoft of all by the 

 quantity of fluff that is to fpare for thofe purpofes. 

 The fide Terrace of a garden ought not to be lefs 

 than twenty' feet, and but very feldom wider than 



thirty. 



As for the height of a Terrace, fome allow It to be 

 but five feet high ; but others more or lefs, according 

 to their fancies \ but more exa£t perfons never allow 

 above five or fix feet ; and in a fmall garden, and a 

 narrow Terrace-walk, three feet -, and fometimes three 

 feet and a half high, are fufiacient for a Terrace eight- 

 teen feet wide, and four feet are fufficient for a I'er- 

 race of twenty feet wide j but when the garden is pro- 

 portionably large, and th^ X^rrace is. thirty feet wide, 

 then it muft be at leaft five or fix feet high. .. . i ■. . .
