not knowing what plants or shrubs 



th 



there may be now growing, or what will best succeed in 

 situation, I shall give the following general rules for the plant 

 ing, after the ground is shaped according to the annexed dia 



gram. 



Jarg 



First, If there are any good trees or plants on the spot, too 



to 



e removed 



let 



em not be disturbed, unl 



ery 



much interfering with the levels of the ground, or line of th 



alks 



Secondl 



Th 



height of the plants must b 



objects they are intended to hid 



guided by the 



or 



th 



e 



struct. In those places where good prospects 



iews they may ob 



seen 



the 



walls, they need only 



e 



others, wh 



high 



gh to hide the walls 



in 





houses or other objects require to be concealed 



they must be high in proportion 



Thirdly, Let the lowest growing shrub 

 walks, and some flowers in front 

 require shad 

 side of the walks 



s 



e nearest to the 



except in those walks which 



e; 



there tall plants may be put close to the 



N B. The water to irrigate the grass, and supply the pool, I understand, is to be 

 furmshed from a redundance in the adjoining ground belonging to a Convent of Capu- 

 chms ■ and much will depend on the due attention that not a drop shall be lost or 



wasted
