SF.CT.III> OF A CARDEN. 4r 



Having fpoken of Jlationary things, the routine of 

 the feafons nuifl di&ate the reft; and the inclinations 

 of the palate will refrefh the memory to take care of 

 providing the moft neceflary and agreeable efculents 

 for dretfing, and rwjallads. 



Perennial 'flowers have been mentioned ; but let fancy 

 direft as many annuals, and biennials to be cultivated, 

 as room can conveniently be found for, that the garden 

 may be, as much as poflible, ornamented. 



In furnijhing a garden with Jhrubs and floxvers, re- 

 fpe& mould be had to their ufual height, their bulk,. 

 (tlmr and feafon, (fee feftion 19) that the mixture 

 may be properly varied, harmonious to the eye, and 

 come in regular fucceflibn. The latter end of the

 late flowers fhould be fet in warm fituations, as their 

 proper place. In the moft dreary months, by judicious 

 planting, evergreens in their neat and cheerful '* winter 

 liveries," may be viewed from our windows,' and ferve 

 inueadof flowers. 



Thofe who garden upon a large fcale, fhould take 

 care to have every thing proper and convenient libe- 

 rally provided. Let there be a well fituated place for 

 hot-beds, with fome building as a tool houfe, and (if dry) 

 for keeping bulbs, feeds, and herbs. Thofe alfo who 

 garden even upon a fmall fcale will do well to have 

 every needful implement: It is the way to fave time 

 and labour, and have work done well. 



If water can be introduced, and kept clean with 

 verdant banks around it, it would be found very ufefiil 

 where a garden is large-, but let it be near the center as 

 poflible, as the moft convenient fituation. It fhould 

 be fed from a fpring,and (if it could) be made to drip 

 in the refervoir, becaufe its trickling noife is agreeable . 

 in a garden to moil ears. ' 



Mixed Gardening, as comprehending the ufeful with 

 the placet-— the profitable with the pleafant, has been the 

 fubjecl hitherto; but if the flnver garden and -the
