take up six or seven houses or 
roomsteads. His orange trees and 
largest myrtles fill up his biggest 
house, and another house is tilled 
with myrtles of a less size ; and those 
more, nice and curious plants that 
need closer keeping are in warmer 
rooms, and some of them stoved 
when he thinks fit. © His flowers 
are choice, his stock numerous, 
and his culture of them very me- 
thodical and curious ; but, to speak 
of the garden in the whole, it does 
not lie fine to please the eye; his 
delight and care lying more in the 
ordering particular plants, than in 
the pleasing view and form of his 
garden. 
17. Dr. Tillotson’s Garden near 
Enfield is a pleasurable place for 
walks, and some good walls there 
are too; but the tall aspin trees, 
and the many ponds in the heart of 
it, are not so agreeable. He has 
two houses for greens, but had few 
in them, all the rest being removed 
to Lambeth. The house moated 
about. 
18. Mr. Evelyn has a pleasant 
villa at Deptford, a fine garden 
~ for walks and hedges (especially his 
holly one, which he writes of in his 
Sylva) andapretty little green-house 
with an indifferent stock in it. In 
his garden he has four large, round 
philareas, smooth clipped, raised 
on a single stalk from the ground, 
a fashion now much used. Part of 
his garden is very woody and shady 
for walking; but his garden not 
being walled has little of the best 
fruits, 
1g. Mr. Watts’s house and gar- 
den made near Enfield are new ; 
but the garden for the time is very 
fine, and large, and regularly laid 
out, with a fair fish-pond in the 
middie. He built a green-house 
(somewhat like the archbishop of | 
| 
| 
this summer with three rooms | 
Canterbury’s), the middle with a 
stove under it anda skylight above, 
and both of them of glass on the | 
foreside, with shutters within, and 
the roof finely covered with Irish | 
slate. Burt this fine house is under | 
the same great fault with three 
before (Number 8, 14, 15): they — 
built it in summer, and thought | 
not of winter; the dwelling-house | 
on the south side interposing be. — 
twixt the sun and it, now whenits | 
beams should refresh plants. 
20. Brompton Park Garden, be. 
longing to Mr. London and Mr, 
Wise, has a Jarge long green-house, 
the front all glass and board, the 
northside brick. _ Here the King’s 
greens, which were in summer at 
Kensington, are placed: but they 
take but little room in comparison 
of their own. Their garden is 
chiefly a nursery for all sorts of 
plants, of which they are very full. 
21. Mr. Raynton’s Garden at 
Enfield is observable for nothing 
but his green house, which he has 
had for many years. His orange, 
lemon, and myrtle trees are as full 
and furnished as any in cases. He 
has a myrtle cut in shape of a chaise, 
that is at least six feet high from 
the case, but the lower part is 
thin of leaves. The rest of the 
garden is very ordinary, and on 
the outside of his garden he has a 
warren, which makes the ground 
about his seat lie rudely, and some- 
times the coneys work under the 
wall into the garden. 
22. Mr. Richardson at East 
Barnet, has a pretty garden, with 
fine walks and good flowers; but 
the garden not being walled about 
they have less summer fruit, yet are 
therefore the more industrious in 
managing
